Watched the last episode of the first series of "Better Call Saul" last night. Rather good!

Then found out it was an offshoot-prequel type-thing to do with that Breaking Bad - I've only ever watched the first episode of that!

You really need to watch Breaking bad, to really 'get' Better Call Saul.

Shouldn't that be t'other way about, if BCS is set before BB?

I'm confused now....

No, its not a Season 1, its a prequel. You watch the main show, and he is a side-character kind of, so then you find out where he started and come from. Many references in 'BCS', are linked to 'BB', so you would not know them at all.

For example, the bloke that works as a car park attendant, is a massive part of BB.

I did say it was a offshoot-prequel-type thing........


Looks like I'll have to make a start on Breaking Bad then.

Its brilliant, Saul is one of the best in it, hence why they picked him to do a spin off about.

In BB, Saul is 'Bad' and has none of the morals you see in 'BCS'...hence the name of the Main show 'Breaking Bad'.....people turn bad after breaking point, kind of.

They are doing the same with 'Walking Dead' its on season 6 (I think), and a few months ago did a 'Fear The Walking Dead' - Which is how 'Walking Dead' come about.

 

[Whistlin' Dixie]

Yeah, but that walking dead is just keech.....I mean, the world's been infested with zombies for over a year, and the copper's eating a sandwich - made with fresh (sliced) bread?

Ok...

Spoiler: Breaking Bad Spoiler

I'd love for the eventual ending scene of BCS to be the moment he accepts a call from Walt, but even better could be if Saul makes calls to other shady characters alerting them to Walt's activities, or something which could fundamentally change the way you view Breaking Bad. Or at least enough to make it worth a repeat viewing.

Arne Dahl series 2 starting next week on BBC 4, i really enjoyed the first series.

BBC 4 is the best channel on telly, some quality stuff on there.

Hooked on 'Beck' at the mo, another quality scandernavian series.

Series two of Fargo starts tomoro on C4. Series one was very good with Billy Bob Thornton.

I was told it was "the best series ever"...

Some nonsense about making drugs and the main character having cancer + mexican gangster cliches and a stupid sidekick.

Got through most of the first series but i think it has a following as "drugs are cool".

Didnt work for me at all.
