Better call saul or breaking bad first

Better Call Saul might be far more action-packed than the first ones. Still, it would be hard to surpass some of the amazing scenes in Breaking Bad when it comes to the action department. You Know What To Look Forward To: Better Call Saul Oddly, knowing what the outcome is in Better Call Saul makes it all the more interesting. We know where Jimmy ends up, how he meets Walter White, and what happens to him at the end of Breaking Bad. But how did he get to that point? Seeing the slow progression makes for a compelling story that you want to follow all the way to the end to be able to connect some dots and get a better understanding of why Jimmy is the way he is. Walter White: Need We Say More?: Breaking Bad I mean, Walter White. Heisenberg. His many iconic quotable lines like “I am the danger,” and his despicable moves, like poisoning Brock and watching Jane choke on her own vomit, are unbeatable. Walter White remains one of the best characters on television ever, so the very fact that he doesn’t appear in Better Call Saul makes Breaking Bad the better show. It is possible that Walter White could appear towards the end of Better Call Saul, assuming the series takes viewers right up to the point that Saul meets him. Still, five seasons of Walter White is hard to compete with. A Deeper Back Story: Better Call Saul While we got a little understanding of who Walter White was before he got his cancer diagnosis through the first few episodes of the series, from that point on, it was a rapid descent into Heisenberg. With Better Call Saul, we’ve gotten to see Jimmy try and try again to be a better person and fall back into his old ways every time. At the end of the last season, he seemed to have finally reached his breaking point. But it took a few seasons to even get there, providing a back story that was much deeper and more detailed. More Bloodshed: Breaking Bad If you’re into violence and bloodshed, Better Call Saul has nothing on Breaking Bad. It just can’t compete. There were scenes in Breaking Bad where you probably had to look away, or at least cringed at the sight of someone being tortured, maimed, killed, or even just interrogated by an intimidating figure. For fans of that genre, you won’t get the same blood and gore on Better Call Saul as you do on Breaking Bad, making the latter the better show all around when it comes to cringe-worthy excitement and drama.

Francesca calls Saul in Better Call Saul, but how many Breaking Bad details does Saul's Better Call Saul phone call recall? Back in Better Call Saul season 4, Bob Odenkirk's Saul Goodman was shown in his office shredding documents alongside long-suffering assistant Francesca Liddy (played by Tina Parker). This scene falls between Walter White's Breaking Bad downfall and Saul's escape from Albuquerque, and the rumbled lawyer impresses upon his assistant the importance of answering a mysterious phone call on November 12, 2010. Better Call Saul season 6's "Breaking Bad" episode catches up with still-suffering Francesca on that fateful date. Ignoring the overwhelming urge to walk away, she drives to the location Saul Goodman specified, picks up the ringing phone, and speaks to her former boss (now living as "Gene Takavic" in Omaha, Nebraska) on the other end. The call was apparently arranged so Saul could gauge the situation in New Mexico from afar, learning who got caught, who got away, and whether any stash of money remains untouched by the DEA (spoiler alert: it doesn't). This phone call marks the very first time Gene has directly heard about the mess he left behind in Breaking Bad, and that means a veritable feast of revelations, confirmations and Easter eggs pour from Francesca's understandably sour lips. Here are all of the references and reveals from Better Call Saul season 6, episode 11's phone call. Francesca's Fate After Breaking Bad For starters, Francesca is (relatively speaking) okay! Now working as a landlord to some stereotypical stoners, Francesca remains a free woman after Breaking Bad, but the authorities remain hot on her tail, desperately hoping she'll lead them to the elusive Saul Goodman. Better Call Saul season 4's document-shredding flashforward suggested Francesca might hire the Disappearer herself. Instead, she got shook down by the feds and gave up a few of Saul's shell accounts, but successfully dodged punishment for her small role in Heisenberg's empire. Walter White's Death Made Life Harder For Jesse & Saul When Gene asks Francesca, "The Maestro buying the farm didn't change anything?" he's talking about Walter White dying in Breaking Bad's final episode. Unfortunately for Cinnabon's sketchiest store manager, Francesca claims Walt's demise just made the DEA even more determined to catch Heisenberg's two biggest accomplices, Jesse Pinkman and Saul Goodman.

Tend not to have the same tone and style as the original. Also, these spin-offs tend to lack continuity with the original show, as the creators may not be as knowledgeable about the show on which they are based. With Better Call Saul, however, Gilligan and Gould's involvement saw these issues completely avoided. 8 Better Call Saul Was Both A Prequel & A Sequel To Breaking Bad While spin-offs can be either connected or completely separate from their original show, Better Call Saul acted as both a prequel and sequel to Breaking Bad. This made it wholly original to most spin-offs, which tend to be written as one or the other if not a completely original story set in the same world. The prequel section of Better Call Saul provided amazing context to Breaking Bad, both in terms of character and story. The sequel section, on the other hand, allowed the show to have genuine tension over the character's outcomes, something that most prequel stories lack, making Better Call Saul's story near-perfect in two distinct ways. 7 Breaking Bad Was Retroactively Improved By Better Call Saul Stemming from the dual nature of Better Call Saul as a prequel and a sequel to Breaking Bad, the spin-off retroactively improved the original show. The explorations of Saul, Mike, and Giancarlo Esposito's Gustavo Fring before the events of Breaking Bad provided amazing context to their later stories. Similarly, other elements of Better Call Saul retroactively changed the context of some Breaking Bad scenes. One example of the latter is Saul's throwaway mention of Nacho in Breaking Bad, a character fleshed out in a way many did not expect by Michael Mando in Better Call Saul. That being said, the prequel nature of Better Call Saul meant that new characters introduced to the show not in Breaking Bad - like Lalo Salamanca and Howard Hamlin - lacked tension. This was because they were expected to be killed off thanks to their lack of appearance in Breaking Bad. While their fates were proven right, the small detail of the two characters being buried beneath the meth lab heavily featured in Breaking Bad adds plenty of context to the original scenes in which this plot point was never addressed. This is only one example of how Better Call Saul improved its sequel series, in ways many did not think possible. 6 Better Call Saul's Cast Was As Good As Breaking Bad's (If Not Better) As alluded to earlier, the cast of Better Call Saul matched - if not exceeded - that of Breaking Bad. In some spin-off shows, the cast tends not to live up to the standards set by the original show's ensemble. Some examples of this include Joey, which could not match the standard set by Friends, or How I Met Your Father, which lacks the dynamism of the original group from How I Met Your Mother. With Better Call Saul though, the cast and characters can be argued to be better than Breaking
