both are masterpieces in their own right!

Breaking bad is the best show I've ever seen. Better call Saul is one of the best shows I've ever seen. And I haven't seen that many shows.

Breaking Bad is Great, Better call Saul made BB even greater. And BCS is a masterpiece. the best Spinoff, the best Prequel and the best ending of a saga in the history

BCS for me is nearly perfect…..absolutely love it. I like BB a lot, it’s great, but the midair collision over Albuquerque was too much for me…..

Glad you think so! Big thanks!

Than share this video with your friends on social media instead of bragging here

​@@MaksMikhnevych that is a good suggestion, but I didn't see any bragging here

I agree that it's not so simply reduced to one fast, one slow, but I do think it's still accurate to describe the overall pace of BCS as _slower_ than BB, especially when the high stakes climaxes of BCS seasons necessarily have lower stakes (fewer lives on the line) than BB. Often they take place in some kind of intense argument/debate where everyone walks off and sits with what happened rather than bandaging literal wounds and spinning more elaborate lies about what's about to erupt like Vesuvius.

it is critically acclaimed though, everyone agrees it is a good show (it has 9 on IMDB & 98% on rotten tomatoes). it's just the fact that it didn't win a single emmy (that's like the oscars for tv shows) that makes me question the reliabality of certain award shows. how can Game of Thrones season 8 win best drama in 2019, and Better Call Saul win nothing in its entire run time.

HE 💩 THROUGH A 🌞 ROOF!

well if there's an award for best comment, we know who's getting it... Glad u enjoyed the video my friend

Blue is a very popular color

@@YustinJ420 Blue represents law and order. That's why HH&M's whole building is blue, it even has it's own color name (Hamlindigo Blue). And thats also why you very rarely see Jimmy wearing blue for an example.

Breaking Bad did the color scheme thing too. Walt wore a lot of greens throughout the early parts of the show until his character started to devolve more and more. Hank wore a lot of oranges, or red or brown. Jesse a lot of yellow. Marie, purple.

@@no2_justin yeah, I guess I like it more bc its newer idk. I like a slow burn

@@kezhaofficial They’re definitely different, so it’s a preference thing. I can appreciate that. Breaking Bad will always probably be my number 1 but BCS is not far behind. This video does a fantastic job of laying out the differences. It will forever be a shame that Bob & Rhea didn’t get as much recognition as Bryan & Aaron. They were magnificent, right down to the subtle nuances in their facial expressions. For which the cinematography also deserves credit.

Thanks 🙏

Smoggaquality!! Hahahahaha.

The only thing I can't put my finger on in BB is how Gus knew about his car being rigged.

@@legendarycheekymonkey He got suspicious because of Jesse, he realized he was turning against him during the confrontation in the chapel. I doubt he knew for sure but given the situation he was definitely paranoid.

@@WarlordEnthusiast His paranoia served him well right up until apart from when he went to visit Hector. There's a few moments even in BCS where the look on his face gives a lot away about how he has just figured something out. Supernatural levels of deduction. I loved how much I hated him. Great villain.

I found the exact opposite. I've rewatched BB a couple of times, but I've watched BCS at least 6 or 7 times. BCS has just as many opaque plot points which take a while to play out as BB does. But BCS has much better cinematography. BB's "fast forward" scene transitions showing time passing get repetitive when re-watching. People say that BB is all action - but no-one remembers Marie's shoplifting storylines! BB is about people doing bad things. Walter becomes Heisenberg within 1 season. There's very little examination of what made him break bad. He takes to it very quickly, and just gets worse. But BCS is rewarding to rewatch (for me anyway) because Jimmy's path to becoming Saul is a long road of small events and decisions. When rewatching, you can't help but hope he takes the right path for once. And just as BB became the story of Jesse, BCS becomes Kim's story, and we follow hoping that she isn't corrupted along with her husband. BCS for me is rewatchable precisely because it is slower. Because it has a shit-ton more subtext than BB had, and that's unsurprising because the production team were already veterans of dealing with those characters.

Life can be unfair sometimes

Thank you so much for your kind words... I'm glad you enjoyed the video

well not only that, but of all the 53 emmy nomminations, it won 0... such an underrated show

lol chuck was one of my favorites he was such a great antagonist

@@plugshirt1762 It is clear that you have never been a victim of somebody with Narcissistic Personality Disorder. Look it up in the Diagnostic Systems Manual (used by all psychotherapists). Watch some videos on the subject. People with NPD are dangerous. It would take a lot of writing to list the symptoms of NPD, but here are a few examples of Chuck's narcissistic perfidy: Chuck's illness is an attention-getting device. He takes pleasure in the power of making naive, kind people jump through hoops. Narcissism. When Jimmy, a loving brother, does onerous daily deliveries to Chuck's house (at Jimmy's painful expense), Chuck cheerfully allows this to continue as an exercise of his power over Jimmy. Power is candy to a narcissist. Chuck, incapable of shame, takes pleasure in manipulation and exploitation. Narcissism. If you have been foolish enough to trust a person with NPD, and if you then see through their cunning manipulation/exploitation/abuse, the person with NPD will, in revenge, attempt to do you any harm that they can, they will try to destroy your life, just as Chuck did when he tried to get Jimmy disbarred. Classic NPD. When Howard Hamlin decides that, for the sake of the survival of the law firm, he must persuade Chuck to retire, Howard then exercises exquisitely tactful, respectful, empathetic maneuvers to gently move Chuck toward withdrawal. For example, he reminds Chuck that Chuck had always wanted to teach students at a law school. Instead of yielding to this gentle persuasion, Chuck declares that he will nuke the law firm, willingly destroying the livelihoods of all who work there. Ugly, evil vengeance. Narcissism. Chuck's choice of means for suicide is pure, evil narcissism. A decent person who commits suicide will do so in a way to cause the least distress to those left behind. Chuck, in contrast, chooses a means of suicide guaranteed to inflict the greatest possible horror and anguish upon those left behind. Narcissism. Someday, when you recognize that a person with NPD has manipulated, exploited, abused you, you will not be laughing out loud. Then when they exact exorbitant revenge against you, it will take a good long while for your helpless rage to diminish.

I believe BB was nearly canceled multiple times during its run too, and Jesse was originally planned to be killed at the end of season 1!

@@TwentySeventhLetter Really? BB had me hooked with those two corpses rolling around in the wildly careening Winnebago, Walt in his tighty-whities and Jesse passed out in his gas mask. Brilliant.

Thanks

i like the music but wdym computer generating pulsing white noise 😭give an example

im Chopin DeBussy and before long it'll be like a breath of fresh air

​@@Elliottklassenare you 80 years old or something? there's value to both classical and current music

@@squiddesauce9589 I am 25 years old, and while I’m classically trained on piano, my current musical endeavours are mostly on guitar, bass and drums, and are entirely contemporary. The music that I write is also not particularly old-fashioned in any sense, and almost all of the music that I listen to is modern (within the last half century). I never said that current music doesn’t have value. However, music nowadays is often used as a marketing tool more than an expression of art, which wasn’t really an issue in the past. While I absolutely believe that there is just as much quality music being produced today as in the past, I also believe that a result of modern technology making music more available, as well as the unprecedented amount of money associated with the industry, is there’s also much more bad music being produced than ever before. Anyways, my original post wasn’t aimed at modern music vs old music, but rather peaceful music vs constant noise. Nowadays it can be very difficult to escape noise, and regardless of the quality of the music you’re listening to, sometimes it is refreshing to slow down and listen to something from a time when life was simpler. That’s what I thought the music from this video was: refreshing; not superior.

I'm glad you enjoyed it.. I really appreciate it

Thank you

BCS did win some awards just nothing major. it is such a shame, the show deserves some credits

Should I watch Better Call Saul before Breaking Bad?

Definitely not ​@@bnashtay2278

@@bnashtay2278hard no. BCS expects you to have watched BB already.

@@bnashtay2278 I'd say the show *knows* most people watching have seen BB already. But if you haven't, it still is a cohesive watch by itself. You'll understand the entire show, with the candid exception of the last 3 episodes, and even then, you'll only need to know that it's setting up and wrapping up BB.

Thanks 🤘

Yes you're correct, but again the first ep drew almost 7 mil viewrs and it went down the next episode literally. So, it seems like there was definitely some serious hype going in, especially with it being a Breaking Bad prequel, and to the numbers suggest that most of those viewers dropped it the next episode. but yeah most people probably have watched it on Netlix (I did too)

@@The_EverythingYT In total fairness this is a trend notable in all of television, and I think the overinflated numbers settling down after is more a statistical correction as all the people who were never gonna watch the whole series leave and the remaining viewership is made up of people genuinely intrigued by the show on its own merits.

Much appreciated! Thanks

Thanks Man

Thanks for watching and for commeting

Thanks! Glad u liked it

I'll keep that in mind, if it's possible i'll do it

Really appreciate it, thanks!

Glad you enjoyed the video. And yes, i tend use that track from Monogatari in all of my videos, it's copyright free for some reason. I use "The First Layer" from Made in Abyss too

Thanks man, that just made my day

who?

Couldn't agree more

it's Satie - Gymnopedie no1

Thanks

when?

@@The_EverythingYT in the parts when you speak. the audio from the clips sounds normal, but when you speak, the bass buzzes too loud. at least with my speakers, which i think are perfectly fine

@@sickdream4067 thanks for pointing that out.. i'll pay attention to it in future videos

yes it is.. I see a fellow weeb here?

@@The_EverythingYT spent hours listening to all songs in made in abyss I could recognize in a second

And monogatori

Good ears. i tend to use them in most of my videos.. I'm a big fan of both shows

Thanks

Game of Thrones season 8 won best drama in 2019 and look how much of a mess that was. so i dont think the reason it didnt win any award was because of the screenplay. and let's say it is because of that, why didn't the first 2 seasons win any,? they were mostly focusing on Jimmy. and about skipping, I would'n dare to skip anything tbh. the cartel stuff led to one of my favourite episodes (Season 5 ep 8 and 9)

@@The_EverythingYT Bagman and Bad Choice Road are also one of the best episodes but doesn't change the fact that Cartel and Jimmy's Storylines are separate For 90% of the Time, 50% of Cartel Show in BCS is Minus point when they don't have choice to connect to Saul due to BrBa Even From Saul's Perspective he don't know anything about Lalo, or what's Going on in Cartel World which is half the show. About Lalo he just knows a Tiny Bit to say atleast. (So You can See Those Episodes 8,9 S5 Just Fine, even if you didnt watch Cartel Scenes. It's like seeing these Events from Saul's Perspective Only, which gives a Special unique experience for Viewer) Saul accepts that 7 Million Dollar Job Due to Fear or Money, and Thinks Nothing's gonna happen. he has no clue that danger definitely happens in situations like this even after Kim warns Him. that's how Disconnected story lines are, Lalo is Created to somewhat Joint these 2 story lines I didn't watch any of GOT Tho. About awards, I said as a Whole Show without considering Specific Seasons. Still BCS doesn't Follow the "Focus on One Main Story at a Time" Rule. A Story can have Multiple Story Lines like GTA V but they have to be connected in a single main Story, Which is a Fundamental Rule. Or Else It Becomes Bloated or doesn't Work in any scenario. I Don't know what season 1 and 2 were competing during that time because I don't Follow Awards That Much But Screenplay is a Major Player when it comes to Visual Media BCS Fans Don't Feel this issue bcs, Most of them watched BrBa First and Wants to See Cartel Stuff, and even defames first 3 Seasons. But If You See a Independent Series like this With 2 Different Stories at Same Time many wouldn't praise this screenplay and feel bloated Season 1 is really Award Worthy "You are not a Real Lawyer" is my Favourite Scene of the Show and This Scene is What Mostly Comes into my mind When I think of this Show. It's so Flawless Lighting during Chuck Scenes Feel like Vince/Peter used Electricity disorder as an excuse to have that Awesome Lightings in every Chuck Scenes 😅 And this is coming from Fan who adores BrBa

what no bb doesn't have that much action u have characters being loud or doing violent stuff but bb actions scenes are blown way outta proportion by most. BB is the character study one man and those around him bcs was the events that happened before. Also id suggest u rewatch bb again doesnt matter which one u like cause ur view on BB is just that u slept during most of the quiet and tender moments and woke up only when the szn finale happened dw thats most of the ppl

You definitely haven’t seen breaking bad the action isn’t nearly that frequent

Lmao

Wtf is a 'masculine show'?

lol the stuff you said to trim is some of the best parts of the show. If anything the cartel parts could be trimmed more as they felt a lot less interesting by contrast. I felt like every episode of better call Saul was amazing and its slower pace just helped to make it feel more personal and like it manages to accomplish far more than breaking bad ever did.

@@plugshirt1762 agreed

I Skipped All of the cartel Scenes . Because they are not connected to Jimmy for 90% of the Time I watched entire show only when Jimmy is on screen or in the scene It's like Watching 2 Different Shows at once, which is a Setback And those Cold Openings, and these 2 Stories telling structure for 58 Episodes (Excluding Final 5 episodes because they tell only 1 Story i.e abt Saul) really did feel bloated and stagnant

@@abhisheks-ys7dz worst way to watch the show ever, you watch the show or you don't. There's no in-between smh

​​@@pg_beatz I wanted to watch for Saul cuz he is the Main Character as Title suggests and watched him only and enjoyed Cartel stuff is irrelevant cuz they don't revolve around Main Character, Most of the Time I know it's a Prequel/Spin Off and they wanted to show Gus Empire, But they can't connect it Coherently to Saul's Story due to events in BrBa. They Gave 50% Screen Time for Cartel Stuff and 50% For Saul Storyline which is Really bad when they are Not Connected for Most of the Time. So being a Prequel is both Pro and Con for BCS That's the reason this show didn't win award, you can Really feel the repetativeness of screenplay by the end When Gus Left and Focus Shifted Completely Towards Saul for Final Episodes (As It Should be from the Start, Which is Fundamental Rule of Story Telling) It was Fantastic Jimmy and Chuck Storyline is Best From the Show. It is Very Impressive and Impactful and Unique and Special Chuck is Brilliantly Written Solid Unique Antagonist, you can never conculde whether he is Right or Wrong
