Where's the Emmys love for Better Call Saul?
When an awards show features over 100 categories of recognition, it's very easy to find both good news and bad news to celebrate. The 72nd annual Emmy Awards were no exception this year, delivering a ton of expected recognition for favorites like Watchmen, The Good Place, and The Handmaid's Tale, while also doling out some serious disappointments. Let's break down the biggest jaw-droppers of the morning, from yet another bad morning for broadcast television and Reese Witherspoon to unexpected triumphs for underseen critical favorites. Surprise: The Emmys Fucking Love Baby Yoda I mean, can you blame …
Having recently wrapped its phenomenal fifth season, I feel confident in saying that Better Call Saul has now surpassed Breaking Bad in quality. That’s not to denigrate Breaking Bad—one of the best TV shows ever made—but to single out just how incredible this “prequel series” has become, and how compelling and dramatic and heartbreaking it is in its own right. But as showrunner and co-creator Peter Gould tells it, the road to getting here was a long and winding one. I recently had the pleasure of speaking with Gould for 45 minutes as part of our …
Ever since Better Call Saul first started airing in 2015, the question has loomed whether Breaking Bad leads Walt (Bryan Cranston) or Jesse (Aaron Paul) would make an appearance on the prequel series. Creators Peter Gould and Vince Gilligan have not ruled it out, even noting it was highly likely they’d appear at some point, but as the writers have now assembled to craft the sixth and final season of the incredible AMC series, it’s time for them to make a final decision: will Walt and Jesse show up in Better Call Saul or not? I posed the …
One of the standout episodes from the most recent (and penultimate) season of Better Call Saul was an installment called “Bagman.” Written by Gordon Smith and directed by Breaking Bad creator Vince Gilligan, Season 5 Episode 8 found Jimmy McGill (Bob Odenkirk) playing bagman for crime lord Lalo (Tony Dalton), only to be ambushed by men with guns. Luckily, Mike (Jonathan Banks) was there to keep Jimmy from being killed, but both of their vehicles were trashed in the process, leaving the two stranded in the desert for an extended period of time. The episode was not only cinematic and …
Spoilers for the Better Call Saul Season 5 finale follow below. I said it in my review and I’m even more convinced of it now that Season 5 is over: Better Call Saul is not just one of the best shows on TV, it’s a better show than Breaking Bad. That’s not to take a dig at Breaking Bad (which is indisputably one of the best TV shows of all time), but to heap praise on this prequel series that has, over the course of five seasons, failed to make a single false move. And what makes …
From co-showrunners David Weil (who also created the series) and Nikki Toscano, the Amazon Prime Video original series Hunters follows a diverse band of Nazi hunters, lead by Meyer Offerman (Al Pacino), living in 1977 New York City, who have discovered that hundreds of high-ranking Nazi officials are living among the population as they work to create a Fourth Reich.

As Better Call Saul heads into its last two seasons, fans may already know Nacho's fate, thanks to a throwaway line in season two of Breaking Bad
Better Call Saul season 5 fully introduces Saul Goodman and includes some more familiar faces, but exactly how close is the timeline to Breaking Bad?
The mystery of Lalo was first introduced in Breaking Bad, and that scene could finally pay off in Better Call Saul's upcoming fifth season.
I’m not exactly sure when it happened, but Better Call Saul is now firmly one of the most heartbreaking tragedies on television. What began as a flighty, entertaining prequel to one of the best TV shows of all time, Breaking Bad, soon couldn’t deny the dramatic tension at the heart of Jimmy McGill (Bob Odenkirk). Whereas we began the show eager to see how Jimmy turns into Saul Goodman, the transformation is now fully underway and it could not be more gut-wrenching. Better Call Saul Season 5 digs deeper than ever into the sorrow at the heart …
Better Call Saul doesn't compare to Breaking Bad in a lot of ways, and certain inconsistencies throughout the show prove just how much this is true.
