Do you also think Better Call Saul is the greatest spinoffs of all

Is &#8216;Better Call Saul&#8217; the Pinnacle of Spinoffs, Surpassing Even the Main Show &#8216;Breaking Bad&#8217;?

As Better Call Saul, the spinoff of another amazing show ended, one question
popped up in our minds. Why did it end? The fans loved this show very much.
However, the show’s final episode saw the conclusion of 15 years of Breaking
Bad. When we first saw Saul Goodman in Breaking Bad, we knew this character was
bigger than this. After all six seasons, Better Call Saul creators are happy to
convey the story of Jimmy McGill (Goodman’s real identity). So, does that mean
Better Call Saul is the peak of spinoffs, surpassing even the main show Breaking
Bad? Let’s find out.


IS BETTER CALL SAUL REALLY THE BEST SHOW?

After six beautiful seasons, Better Call Saul surpassed the shadow of the
original [https://netflixjunkie.com/category/originals/] show Breaking Bad and
achieved unbelievable success. Even the finale of Better Call Saul got a 10
rating [https://www.ign.com/tv/better-call-saul] from IGN, while the finale of
Breaking Bad got 9.8 [https://www.ign.com/tv/breaking-bad]. There are other
reasons as well for the spinoff show’s success.

The characters and their exploration in Better Call Saul are phenomenal. The
Emmy-nominated work of Bob Odenkirk

and Rhea Seehorn improved the show over the years. With steady and brilliant
writing along with even more brilliant performances, the show explored the
courtroom morality and the criminal underworld. It was a subtle drama. On the
other hand, in Breaking Bad, there was a personal drama.

Odenkirk is the perfect cast for Jimmy McGill. He is a sympathetic villain who
can make you love Jimmy at his most destructive. Jimmy is the kind of person
whom we all want in our lives, as he never does what he’s told. Instead, he
always has one or the other schemes to do things his way. He is one of the
greatest anti-heroes in history. We cannot hate Jimmy even when his bad deeds
are pretty obvious. This success of Jimmy seems to result from our previous
acquaintance with Saul Goodman.

Anywhere, anytime, any strong female characters will always change the game. In
the same way, Better Call Saul has totally opposite female characters than there
are in Breaking Bad. The show has Kim Wexler,
[https://netflixjunkie.com/netflix-news-kims-one-word-description-of-better-call-saul-season-6-will-shoot-your-excitement-through-the-roof-stream-first-2-episodes-on-netflix/]
who soon proves herself to be the show’s hero. However, she also sought revenge
and also schemed against Jimmy. But she was morally stronger than Jimmy and fans
loved her on the show.

The most important thing about Better Call Saul is that it brought back some of
the iconic characters from Breaking Bad. Gus Fring (Giancarlo Esposito), Mike
Ehrmantraut (Jonathan Banks), and Hector Salamanca (Mark Margolis) are some
fan-favorite characters who came back in this spinoff and won fans’ hearts. They
helped the show explore beyond Breaking Bad.

Towards the end of the series, we see Jimmy repenting over his crimes
[https://netflixjunkie.com/netflix-news-russo-brothers-choose-saul-goodman-from-breaking-bad-to-defend-their-heinous-crime/]
before the viewers even know. He brought back memories from Breaking Bad when
Saul asks Mike Ehrmantraut about the time machine. The optimistic end to Jimmy’s
journey gave the character, as well as the fans

exactly what they deserved.
