[XD FLIX] Better Call Saul: A Must-Watch Show for Fans of Breaking Bad

If you're a fan of Breaking Bad, the critically acclaimed show that ran from 2008 to 2013, you're probably already familiar with the character of Saul Goodman, the quirky and unethical lawyer who becomes a key player in the series. But did you know that there's an entire prequel show focused solely on the character's backstory?

Better Call Saul, which first premiered in 2015, tells the story of Jimmy McGill, the man who would eventually become Saul Goodman. The show is set in the early 2000s, several years before the events of Breaking Bad, and follows Jimmy as he navigates the morally gray world of criminal law in Albuquerque, New Mexico.

One of the things that make Better Call Saul so compelling is the way it explores the character development of Jimmy McGill/Saul Goodman. We see him evolve from a down-on-his-luck public defender to a successful, if not entirely ethical, criminal lawyer. Along the way, we also learn more about his relationships with his brother Chuck and his eventual secretary, Kim Wexler, both of whom become important characters in the show.

The performances in Better Call Saul are top-notch, with Bob Odenkirk delivering a nuanced and compelling portrayal of Jimmy/Saul. The supporting cast is also excellent, with particular praise for Jonathan Banks as Mike Ehrmantraut, a character who was first introduced in Breaking Bad and has a significant role in Better Call Saul.

In addition to the character development and performances, the show also boasts outstanding writing and direction. The series is created by Vince Gilligan and Peter Gould, who also worked on Breaking Bad, and it has been praised for its tight storytelling and attention to detail.

One of the most notable aspects of the show is its ability to blend drama and humor with great efficiency. The show manages to pack an emotional punch while also making the audience laugh with its dark and witty humor.

If you haven't seen Better Call Saul yet, and are a fan of Breaking Bad, it's a must-watch show. Even if you haven't seen Breaking Bad, the show still stands on its own as a fantastic character-driven drama with a great ensemble cast.
