Better Call Saul Is Better Than Breaking Bad
It’s a tough time to be making great television. Into this landscape sidles Better Call Saul, the Breaking Bad spinoff whose second-season finale airs Monday night. But Better Call Saul should be doing more than fine, because it is already better than Breaking Bad, and thus has a shot—if it stays this good—at being one of the best television shows ever made. Better Call Saul takes the style that made Breaking Bad distinctive—the astonishing cinematography, dark comedy, and brashly confident pacing—and elevates it by applying it with more beauty, subtlety, and moral sophistication. No matter how glutted their DVRs, the American television-viewing public should be collectively freaking out that a show as great as Better Call Saul exists.
