Breaking Bad depicted the narrative of a man who made bad actions for the right reasons, most notably desperation. Walter White's ambitions eventually got the best of him, and he became a criminal. Saul Goodman will essentially tell a similar scenario in which we see a financially burdened man in distress who breaks certain laws simply to survive. Later on, as shown in the events of Breaking Bad, we shall see his transition into a more shadier character.

2. Better Call Saul was originally intended to be a sitcom

Did you know that the 30-minute comic version of the show was initially planned? Considering that the original was an hour-long drama, it's challenging to understand this view. It's a good thing the show's creators eventually made it into a more traditional series like its predecessor. We now ponder whether Vince Gilligan and Peter Gould, the showrunners, would have informed laugh tracks to the program.

3. The name Saul Goodman has a meaning behind

It is widely believed that Saul Goodman’s name has a very obvious sound and meaning to it, deriving from the phrase, “It’s all good, man.” Speaking of the name, Saul Goodman is a pseudonym that Jimmy McGill came up with for the sake of attracting more business as a lawyer. The fake name was merely invented to sound more Jewish and thus be more relatable to the local community.

4. It has a quicker speed than Breaking Bad

In order to more accurately reflect Walter White's deteriorating health issues, Breaking Bad frequently moved at an extremely slow pace. Thankfully, Better Call Saul will generally proceed considerably faster due to the dramatically different plot. This could result in greater action, drama, and surprises with shorter gaps in between. Could this ultimately make Jimmy McGill's tale better than Walter White's? This is certainly plausible.

5. The show’s inception was a joke

Better Call Saul was not developed in the conventional sense, where the producers are already set on a spin-off before the end of the original series. The jokes about a Saul Goodman-only show that the writers of Breaking Bad had been making for years actually gave birth to the concept for the show. The continuous anomalies eventually got so solid that Vince Gilligan was forced to give the concept some serious thought.


6. Saul has a real website
