But what if Jorge isn’t trustworthy and we’ve trusted him all along?

This definitely sounds like something I would make up:

Better Call Saul's 13-episode final season will roll out in two parts with the first seven episodes beginning April 18 and culminating with the series’ final six episodes beginning July 11. Three new original short-form series connected to the world of Better Call Saul will also debut this spring, including the animated series Slippin' Jimmy; Cooper's Bar, starring Saul’s Rhea Seehorn; and new episodes of the Emmy-Award winning Better Call Saul Employee Training Video series.

Potentially spoilery speculation about Cooper's Bar:
Spoiler: show
The press release notes Rhea Seehorn will play a different character from Kim. To me this points to another "Gene" scenario, with the series following Kim's post-Breaking Bad life under a different identity. Might even be in black and white. Otherwise, why would they hire Kim to play a wholly different character in a series set in the same continuity?

Also, this synopsis is really weird
Cooper’s Bar, led by Better Call Saul’s Rhea Seehorn, is a six-episode digital series that follows the antics of character actor Cooper, played by Lou Mustillo (Mike & Molly) and the unique group of LA natives who frequent his neighborhood bar. Seehorn, who serves as an executive producer and directs on the series, stars as an awful Hollywood executive — “the biggest dick in Hollywood” — who’s a regular at Cooper’s makeshift watering hole. Casey Washington, David Conolly and Kila Kitu also star in the series, which was created by Conolly, Hannah Davis-Law, Nick Morton, Mustillo and Seehorn. Evan Shapiro and Alfredo de Villa are executive producers. The series debuts on AMC’s digital platforms this spring.

Wow, you had me there for a second. Until I realized that the website for the TV channel is just AMC.com

So amcnetworks.com is just a fake website that you just put together for this joke

Well done, Jorge

I have a visceral reaction to advertising and promotion. There's just something about salesmanship that grates on me on a very base level and I react very negatively towards it. I want those people to suffer and I want their enterprises to fail.

Agreed. AMC is apparently doing it to all of their shows right now - tWD, FtWD, BCS and I assume Killing Eve. I prefer an episode a week.

I don’t know if I’ve ever been so excited for a last season of a show.

it’s been a while, but the way this show foregrounds its artifice was (and may still be) much more interesting than something like Station 11
