Yes, that is correct. Despite being critically acclaimed and receiving numerous nominations, Better Call Saul has never won a single Emmy Award. This is a rare feat, especially for a show that has been nominated so many times. In fact, Better Call Saul holds the record for the most nominations (seven) without a win in the Best Drama Series category.
There are a few possible reasons for this. One possibility is that Better Call Saul is simply up against stiff competition. There are many other great dramas on television, and it can be difficult to stand out from the crowd. Another possibility is that the Emmy voters simply don’t appreciate the show as much as critics do. Whatever the reason, it’s a shame that Better Call Saul has never been recognized with an Emmy Award. It’s a truly exceptional show that deserves to be celebrated.
