AMC+ charging to watch Better Call Saul
I have the AMC+ extension in Apple TV, yet when I go to the AMC+ channel to find Better Call Saul, it shows that I have to pay $2.99 per show. What’s up?

Total waste of time. Total cluster of AMC and AppleTV. Could not have the user experience any worse. I can’t imagine AMC is crushing it on AppleTV subscriptions with this poor of a model. They could not have done any worse IMO, subscription cancelled.
Very annoying. And unfair. Looks like it's only for past seasons, not the current. Still, unfair. And totally not cool.
Shady AF. Had to resubscribe to apple and amc+ just to find out I can’t watch all episodes. Seriously not cool! I’m asking for refunds! I own 2 macs, an iPhone, AirPods, etc. for them to take advantage of people!
I ended up buying the entire 6 season for $22 on AMC+ also after having a subscription to AMC AMC+ through Apple. Also had to stream it through my iPhone 12 or my IPad Pro 2020. So huge hassle expense and unlike other series could not get the AMC+ App on the Apple TV page to play on Apple TV had to tie up one of my devices which I use for business and personal and pay a small fortune for plus for Apple Support etc!!!!!! What was the lame excuse? They had no control over AMC+ then why did they hype the combo packages of channels non stop before Better Call Saul Season 6 finally arrived?
No actually, at least in our area, Indiana/US we couldn’t get Better Call Saul Season Six the much awaited and hyped final season unless you paid for it. $22. I didn’t realize it until that Monday night it premiered. I had subscribed to AMC and AMC+ through Apple TV for several months if not years off and on but definitely paying for Apple TV+ and AMC AMC + for months before the premiere episode. I emailed Apple support, tried to reach AMC/AMC+ IF they responded it was with confusing details as to licensing etc. differences between AMC AMC+ or how you subscribed to the channel. The first week I streamed it through my Spectrum TV (cable provider). But I was paying for direct access through AMC/AMC + monthly through Apple TV+. The old seasons 1-5 are still available on Netflix, and you can BUY the old and new season on Prime Video. Which in desperation I tried on the first week as well. Inexcusable double billing, deceitful advertising practices on the part of AMC/AMC+. I love Apple TV+. But AMC /AMC+ made them look bad. I also have all IOS/Apple and think their customer service is second to none, but even they couldn’t fix it.
Yea, not really Apple’s fault as far as I can tell. It is a licensing issue between the producers of the show and AMC. Apparently it was available to stream as AMC+ subscriber, but only for a few weeks after each episode aired. A real bummer of a system, but the show was so **** good I just bucked up the $22. Still disappointed and frustrated they did it this way though.
