Near the end of its six-season run, we can finally say it: BetterCallSaul is better than BreakingBad.
Few TV creators have had a more successful 15-year run than Vince Gilligan. Jumping from the career-making Breaking Bad right to Better Call Saul, which was co-created by Peter Gould, Gilligan has proven to be one of the best minds in TV writing, and it is Better Call Saul that cemented that legacy.
Better Call Saul turned a weakness into a strength One of the chief joys of watching Breaking Bad was that it was impossible to know what was going to happen. Walt would find himself zip-tied to a radiator, and just minutes later, Mike was dead. Better Call Saul has none of that going for it. We know where Saul ends up, and are even treated to flashes of him working at a Cinnabon. The same is true for Mike, who is killed by Walt in Breaking Bad.
As a result, Saul feels like a more tragic figure — an amateur huckster who finds himself suddenly in over his head and has to scramble to avoid being killed by whoever’s after him that week. He is willing to work with anyone, but he’s not the kind of menace that Walt ultimately became, and is more generally likable as a result.
Even that relationship, though, gets at what makes Better Call Saul a more complicated, and ultimately better, product than its predecessor. Breaking Bad could often have a very singular, plot-driven focus. It was Walt and Jesse, and with the exception of an occasional divergence, the show was basically about them trying to scheme their way to the top of a meth empire.
