“Better call Saul” arrived to expand “Breaking bad”. With a total of 6 seasons, we finally got to know the story of lawyer Saul Goodman and the ending has lived up to the hype. There are even those who claim that the series surpassed its predecessor.
For the protagonist Bob Odenkirk, both stories complement each other. “They couldn’t have done one without the other first. A series like ours could not have existed, “he told The New York Times, but several fans believe that the spin-off is superior and there are reasons for it.
It has 2 functions: spin-off and prequel
“Better call Saul” has 2 functions. The first is to be a spin-off that tells us about the evolution from Jimmy to Saul Goodman. The second, to serve as a bridge to “Breaking bad” and tie up loose ends.
Does not use the action to create “shock value”
The story of Walter White was closely linked to the world of drug trafficking, cartels, criminals and the DEA. However, BCS resolves most of its conflicts in court and speech as the main weapon.
A less universal and more complicated plot
‘Better call Saul’ is a more personal story with many aspects of the life of a lawyer. For this reason, it is less relatable than “Breaking bad” and they still achieved an equally good result.
Holds your attention even though you know the end
Unlike “Breaking bad”, fans already knew Saul’s fate, so the spin-off had the complicated task of creating other subplots, maintaining tension and not making the lawyer the only protagonist.
Human relationships are more complex
Jimmy has always had a complex relationship with his friends, family like Chuck McGill, and even enemies. It was never easy to settle the rivalries and the showrunners took the time to make the most of it by taking the necessary time.
Why is his name Saul Goodman?
