Better Call Saul is the prequel you want

An update. I watched the first two episodes of BCS and loved it. Some “laugh out loud” moments and other bits I had to watch through my fingers. Quite Brilliant! Thanks for the recommendation.

Now I have finished watching the Crown I am going to start on Better Call Saul :-)

We loved "Breaking Bad" but think "Better Call Saul" is even better. After three series we really care about the characters, and it has just got better and better. The acting is so good, and it has the same sharp direction as "Breaking Bad", with plenty of humour, too.

Lucia , it takes a bit of getting used to but three episodes in I was hooked.

I ve never watched BB. Maybe now is the time

If you love Breaking Bad then you will enjoy BCS. They are amongst the best programmes ever made in the history of the world!

I loved “Breaking Bad” and have Netflix so think “Better Call Saul” will be my next fix! Another fan of Mike here :-)

BB first. Then BCS. I have little crush on Mike. He can do anything.

Watch Breaking Bad first. It's at a slow pace but you will love it.
Better Call Saul is more engaging but you have to watch BB for understanding the scenario.

I loved Mike in BB. ?
I hear from my daughter his back story (why he became a bent cop) is explained in BCS.
A great reason to watch it this winter.

BB my all time favourite. Better call Saul is good but doesn’t have the range of characters.

Oh I love Better Call Saul!!! Maybe even more than Breaking Bad. I had such a crush on Walter White, I bought my bloke a Heisenberg t-shirt and made him wear it.

Saul is a more believable character than Walter I think. Certainly more likeable.

Oh I see it's been suggested BB first so maybe do that.

One of my sons is crazy over "Breaking Bad", so much so, he and some friends held a BB party when it finished so bereft were they. He gave us the box set for Christmas a couple of years ago and I have to confess I never got into it, a friend told me it's something you need to persevere with before the viewer becomes hooked. Wonder whether I should give it another go, same son also gave us "The Sopranos" before the lock down another series that I didn't really follow when it was on in spite of the rave reviews. I'm glad he did because it took a few episodes and was then thoroughly reeled in. I missed the characters when it finished, even though they were a thoroughly bad lot. We have Netflix so maybe I should watch this prequel and then start again with BB it certainly has its fans having achieved cult like status.

BCS is my favourite programme absolutely amazing acting and scripts. Can’t wait for last season!

No Pantglas watch Breaking Bad first . It’s a very long watch mind you but well worth it .

I loved Breaking Bad and just finished the 5th series last week . I was so sad when it ended as I was getting to know the characters as friends (well some I wouldn’t want to have as friends but you know what I mean)

I have watched the trailer for Better Call Saul and I think it will be great to see some of the familiar faces . I think the bent lawyer was such a good character . I also watched the follow up movie El Camino which was a kind of what happened next to Jesse . Worth watching too.

So I should watch Better Call Saul first and then Breaking Bad?

I intend to, thank you. We recently binge watched the box set of BB during lockdown here and one of our daughters is raving about BCS. Definitely on our pre-Christmas viewing list!
