I actually think, and am probably alone in the universe, that it is better than Breaking Bad. The first time I tried watching it I stopped after a few episodes because while I thought cooking meth in an RV was fun, it never grabbed me. Then I came back to it later on to finish it and after about three seasons I kept asking people when "the best show ever" was about to begin. I kept getting told the fourth and fifth season. I agree those are the best of the bunch but it took that many seasons to get to that point. It isn't a case of hype because I can separate myself from hype pretty well most of the time, but something was missing for me. I wasn't real excited for Better Call Saul either because even though I liked him, I didn't need a spin-off.

Yet I love BCS. I don't know if it's simply a matter of being familiar with the characters already, but I've been hooked since about the second episode. They're two completely different shows but I agree with whoever said that it's a more emotional show. The latest episode had a pretty crippling ending. Looking forward to the season finale, though I wish the show was over so I could just binge-watch it.
