Better Call Saul Season Six

[89th]

Ok I’ll bite. I finally watched all of Breaking Bad. Is Better Call Saul worth the same time investment? Sounds like it.

My friend said season 1 sucks but otherwise the series is as good as breaking bad. He said to just read a recap of season one. LOL

The story was much slower developing, very slow, but worthwhile.

Absolutely. There are so many references to what happens in Breaking Bad that it's fun to watch.

As I said, the story seems "tighter".

Breaking Bad, as great as it was, seemed to meander every now and then (Season 3 is an example). What was with the plane crash? The bear?

BCS doesn't suffer from this lack of direction. It's a straightforward tale of the descent of Jimmy McGill from aspiring lawyer to the consigliere to the Mexican drug cartels.

Many of the Breaking Bad characters you've come to enjoy are major players.

• Hector Salamanca (and his bell)
• Gustavo Fring (and Los Pollos Hermanos)
• Mike Ehermantraut
• The "cousins"
• Tuco Salamanca

There are a lot of cameos

• Gale Boetticher
• Hank Schader
• Walter White (of course)
• Lydia Rodarte-Quayle
• Huell Babineaux

As I said, I'm not sure how it'll end, but I've really enjoyed it so far. Worth a binge.

I don’t think I would say it was as good as BB.

@George-K Thanks!

It is worth it to watch Gustavo and the cousins. Actually all the Salamancas are fun.

Speaking of cameos. "Wendy" makes an appearance or three....

A thoroughly-satisfying finale.

It's not pretty, it's not neat, but it ends as it should have, with all the characters ending up in places they belong - other than Gus and Mike, for their story is told in Breaking Bad.

Redemption for Jimmy, freedom for Kim. Very satisfying.
