Nonetheless, if any of you haven’t watched Breaking Bad, which is highly unlikely, he/she would love this series.All the episodes of the fifth season are now available on Netflix and to be honest, even after 5 seasons and 50 episodes, it still feels like I haven’t gotten enough of all this drama, encompassing the ever-interesting and complicated-than-riddles lives of Jimmy McGill/Saul Goodman, Kim Wexler and others.Spoilers Ahead: We have finally gotten to know what actually transpired behind Jimmy McGill’s transformation into the Saul Goodman of Breaking Bad but still, there are number of answers, we are struggling to find.

Is it just another disappointing prequel/spin-off?

Another disappointing and boring prequel/spin-off? No, it isn’t, rather, it is exactly the opposite of it.

Written and created by Vince Gilligan and Peter Gould, Better Call Saul is the prequel of AMC’s highly acclaimed (and arguably the greatest TV show ever) Breaking Bad. However, this introduction is not only misleading but disrespectful as well. Because, unlike most of the prequels or spin-offs, Better Call Saul runs on its own legs and it is mainly because of its own unique story lines and powerful characters, not because of this label ‘a-prequel-of-Breaking Bad’, that show has succeeded in receiving great reviews from the critics and galvanizing such a great number of viewers.

Thus, I can’t help but suggest that Better Call Saul is one of the finest TV shows and — pardon my enthusiasm — it deserves to be at least in the top 20 TV series of all time, if not higher.
