TV fans will forever owe a debt of gratitude to Vince Gilligan and Peter Gould, as they are the principal filmmakers who brought us what is not just one of the greatest small screen crime franchises, but two series that are unquestionably among the greatest shows of all time: Breaking Bad and Better Call Saul.
Bryan Cranston’s Walter White, Aaron Paul’s Jesse Pinkman and Bob Odenkirk’s Jimmy McGill are just three of the best Breaking Bad characters in the complex, scary, and intense world of crime in Albuquerque, New Mexico, and the storytelling is brilliant.
One can highlight the best episodes of Breaking Bad and the best episodes of Better Call Saul, but it’s really the full breadth of the canon that is truly special – especially when you also bring the fantastic feature-length film El Camino: A Breaking Bad Movie into the mix.
Following the end of Better Call Saul in 2022, one could start looking for other shows like Breaking Bad… but why not instead try and enjoy the full scope of the incredible crime drama with a new perspective that you may not have previously experienced? With three separate titles and some timeline jumping in the stories, there are multiple ways to enjoy the Breaking Bad/Better Call Saul/El Camino continuity, and we’ve put together this feature in aid of helping you learn about how to do just that.
Breaking Bad/Better Call Saul/El Camino spent years earning hype and acclaim from professional critics and casual TV watchers alike… but are you only now finally getting around to watching them? If the answer to that question is “yes,” then your focus should be on watching the series and the film in the same order in which they were originally released. There’s no need to get fancy just yet – simply watch the series and film in release order.
