Where did Season 5 go from Netflix?!

[Hemphill]

So last week I saw Better Call Saul on Netflix, Season 5. I even downloaded and watched the first two episode on a flight to Mexico. The weird thing is, it is no longer available on the platform and I feel like Im going crazy. No mention of this online, etc. Anyone else see Season 5 on Netflix last week???

@Hemphill I just checked my Netflix and I only have 1-4 listed. I haven't really checked before now. I haven't noticed the "new episodes" banner over the picture that is on my list menu either. 

eta I only watch on tv so I haven't checked online.

Same here.  Nothing under the bell notifications.  But at least Netflix now enables turning off the auto-preview.  

Apparently, that flight to Mexico went through the Bermuda Triangle.

I just bought season 5 on Amazon Prime which seems to be the only way to get it.

I got season 5 from the library for free.

Way to piss off fans of the show.  I have been awaiting Season 5 for what feels like 4 years now.   I suspect the plan is for Netflix to release Season 5 in the advent of Season 6.   In a perfect world, that may have been feasible.   In Covid world, this protracted wait feels stingy and ill-conceived.  If the objective is to make loyal viewers wait so long that they stop giving a shit whether the show ever comes back, then bravo.  Well done.

I broke down and bought the discs for Season 5.  Cheaper than paying late fees.  

Also, every episode has a commentary track.  Personally, I love listening to creative people talk about all the choices that go into making an episode.

Me either.  The world has moved on.   I canceled Netflix a couple months ago, so I couldn't watch it now even if it were available.   The only thing I regret is not knowing what became of Kim.
