Better Call Saul is a spin-off of Breaking Bad, a popular crime drama television series created and produced by Vince Gilligan that ran for five seasons on AMC from 2008 to 2013. [12] [13] It is primarily a prequel that focuses on the origins of the character Saul Goodman, who made his first on-screen appearance during Breaking Bad 's second season, in the episode that was also titled " Better Call Saul". [12] The character was initially supposed to appear in four episodes of Breaking Bad, but soon became much more developed than the staff had planned. He would eventually stay on the series throughout the duration of its run. [14] [15] As Breaking Bad continued, the character would grow in popularity amongst the audience. Bob Odenkirk, who portrayed Saul Goodman, speculated this was because he is "the program's least hypocritical figure", and "is good at his job".

Retrieved October 11, 2018. The original two seasons, released in 2011 and 2013 (and now available to stream on Netflix as Top Boy: Summerhouse), only need four episodes apiece, and at times it feels like creator Ronan Bennett has cast his net a little too wide in the newer seasons – in his efforts to tell the story of modern England, some subplots are introduced then forgotten about an episode later. You get the sense Bennett may have always wanted to create a British answer to The Wire, but with the resources to do that bit off a little more than he could chew: the sheer amount of murder, mayhem and gunplay that goes on here simply feels implausible. That said, the characterisation remains a high point, with even the nastiest villains feeling like genuinely believable and relatable characters. All nine seasons of Peep Show are now streaming on Netflix, so if you haven’t yet watched Sam Bain and Jesse Armstrong’s groundbreaking sitcom – the longest-running in Channel 4’s history, no less – now is the time to venture into the minds of David Mitchell’s Mark and Robert Webb’s Jez, two best friends and flatmates who lurch from one disaster to the next. a b Bonomolo, Cameron (April 19, 2022).
