depending on my mood, sometimes I prefer Breaking Bad, and other times, I prefer Better Call Saul.

either way, they're both a couple of the GOATs.

I felt like it was implied that it will be a cycle that never ends. Shes addicted to grifting and Jimmy is the best at it in her eyes. So even if they broke up, i felt it would just happen again

The "narcos" (for lack of a better term) part/half of Better Call Saul is fairly easily the best part of either show. Although the legal half of BCS was still entertaining...so BCS is better overall to BB as a show. BB just has the Walt/Jesse combo going for it. Which is amazing, but I don't think society would ever vibe with BCS as much due to the basic premise/nature of BCS (which is the legal half of the show).

A few friends i tried to get into it said they couldnt, because it starts so slowly and they dont like Chuck. . It is a slow burn for sure, but its a good one.

Never seen Better Call Saul. I have seen the first like 2-3 episodes of Breaking Bad, but never got past those few episodes.

I feel the exact opposite. The Mike and Gus side of BCS is easily the weakest part of anything in BB or BCS. It's actually why I think Breaking Bad is the better show because it's just so tight. When the Mike and Gus stuff crosses over with Jimmy? It's grand. But when it's just focusing on building the super lab or Mike going back to being an alcoholic, it's so much less interesting or entertaining than Jimmy pulling scams or his relationship with Kim.

BCS was on track to be better than BB, then it dropped the ball in the final stretch the B&W episodes dragged on and on.

What I liked was how they were able to introduce new characters and the suspense of what happens them before we get to Breaking Bad.

Hell yeah. Two of my 3 favorites (BB, Sopranos, BCS), and the only reason BCS isnt higher is due to the slowness of the show at the very beginning.

BCS might be the best prequel of anything. It's still not perfect, but compared to most other prequel series, it has to be in the top tier.

I barely remember much of it. It really was so meh. The only memorable parts were Todd singing and the final gun fight.

I would have to agree. Season 1 of BCS was probably my least favorite between both shows but following that the show picks up incredibly and I see why it needed to build the way it did.

GameGodOfAll posted...
Nice. My favorite shows. I miss 'em and have rewatched them a bunch of times.

What were your favorite moments of each show?

Pretty tough to single out (its been a while since I finished Breaking Bad at this point, it took a long time for me to finish BCS because of how busy life got), but Ill try and do one per season, probably a little fuzzy for BB

BB1: the body falling out of the ceiling . that was the exact moment I knew Id be hooked for the rest of the show

BB2: oddly enough, that opening scene of Sauls introductory episode where Badger gets caught. Really caught me off guard

BB3: the twins vs Hank

BB4: you gave the money to Beneke?!

BB5: cliche, but how could it not be Hanks death scene in Ozymandias. The entire episode is perfection. I really love the flashback opening too with Walts call to Skyler

El Camino: Jesse reuniting with Badger and Skinny Pete. Didnt think Id include 2 Badger moments here lol

BCS1: the twist with Chuck at the end of the season

BCS2: Chuck hitting his head

BCS3: Chucks final words to Jimmy I never cared that much about you

BCS4: the Something Stupid montage with Jimmy and Kim OR the scene with her telling him Jimmy, youre always down. Their relationship is my favorite aspect of this universe

BCS5: either Jimmy and Mikes trek through the desert or Lalo realizing Nacho betrayed him. The latter half of BCS is so good Im having trouble picking one moment for the seasons

BCS6: obvious choice would be Howards death and while thats up there I was actually floored by all of the black and white episodes, crazy that some people dont like them. The finale especially, youve got Jimmys moment alone repeating this is how they get you, the entire courtroom scene and Kim and Jimmys last cigarette. It may be recency bias but this last season may have been my favorite between either show.

Interesting, as much as I loved all of the cartel stuff, Jimmy/Kim/Howard/Chuck are probably my top 4 favorite characters across either franchise, I was hooked in with the law stuff more and more as the show progressed!

neither, there are only so many characters allowed in a topic title on here, just trying to make a coherent title. Didnt think this would be an issue using the acronym for Saul. If youre genuinely interested its pretty easy to just google BCS show and figure out the acronym from there. Sorry if that comes off as gatekeeping, but Im having trouble wrapping my head around how it could be

Im glad it exists, and I enjoyed it for what it was but it does mostly just come off as decent thriller movie and doesnt attempt the same character studies that BB and BCS do

Same - it was super early in the show when that happened, and it was a good show so far, but that was a moment of I dont care what Im supposed to be doing in the next hour, I need to watch the next episode immediately.

I will admit that I didn't think about how you might have been up against the limit cap. That's fair and I apologize

That is not the case with most of these topics though

I mean, if the acronyms dont mean anything to someone, is there really a point in reading through the topic if you dont have an opinion on the series?

Also, I do generally prefer Better Call Saul, since the legal procedurals were my favorite part of the show. Only real flaw with the series that I had is that I could never quite get a grasp on how old the characters in universe were supposed to be, since the actors do look significantly older than in Breaking Bad.

There have been plenty of times where someone uses a random acronym and I have seen it and do want to talk about it. But had to look it up first. It is annoying.

A lot of people feel this way
