Lisa and Esther look back on the Better Call Saul series with Jonas from Cinema Strikes Back. What began as a character decoupling and prequel, Breaking Bad creators Vince Gilligan and Peter Gould knitted more and more into one standalone phenomenon.
Despite numerous characters returning from Breaking Bad, Better Call Saul was never just a poor copy or a purely nostalgic celebration of the past. Because despite the prequel heading towards a clear goal, the story of Jimmy, Kim (Rhea Seehorn) and Mike (Jonathan Banks) could always surprise. Also in the “best series finale of all time”.
