Can I Watch 'Better Call Saul' Without Watching 'Breaking Bad'? Here Is The Reason

Sunny Anderson

There's one question that many Better Call Saul fans seem to concern about: Should I watch Better Call Saul first then watch Breaking Bad? Can I Watch Better Call Saul Without Watching Breaking Bad?
We know the Breaking Bad prequel's timeline aligns with the Better Call Paul series and what's the simplest way is to consume both series. However, if you don't have time. Don't worry: we have options for both beginners and those who want to watch the Breaking Bad series in chronological order from beginning to end.

#1. Can I watch Better Call Saul after Breaking Bad?

Despite the fact that the series takes place years before the events of Breaking Bad, it begins with a look inside Saul Goodman's life at the end of the flagship series and cuts to these scenes frequently. Knowing that Better Call Saul starts where Breaking Bad ends and then flashes back to how Jimmy got a seedy lawyer in the first place, it's definitely possible (and advised) to watch all of Breaking Bad first. This offers an interesting contrast between Saul, who becomes connected with Walt and Jesse, and Jimmy, whom we meet in Season 1.

Yes. When the spinoff first starts, a popular assumption was that it was created for Breaking Bad fans and only Breaking Bad fans. Better Call Saul, despite sharing many of the same characters, works as its own entity. The typical viewer may sit down and watch the show without knowing who Walter White is.
While featuring Breaking Bad stalwarts like Mike, The Twins, and 'Chicken Man' Gustavo Fring, Vince Gilligan and Peter Gould do an excellent job of laying up Jimmy's past and focusing on the persons that are crucial to him and have a direct impact on his life. But if you're unfamiliar with the latter, it doesn't really matter.
So, sure, you can watch the vast majority of the show without any prior knowledge of Breaking Bad, but the final act will spoil Breaking Bad and you may not feel quite as satisfied.

While some have suggested watching them at the same time, such as Buffy the Vampire Slayer and its spin-off Angel, this just does not work. Why? The shows follow two distinct timelines that do not connect until the very last episode. Here's our recommendation on how to watch both series:
  • Better Call Saul season 1
  • Better Call Saul season 2
  • Better Call Saul season 3
  • Better Call Saul season 4
  • Better Call Saul season 5
  • Better Call Saul season 6, up to episode 9
  • Breaking Bad seasons 1-5
