Better Call Saul was not particularly necessary to the Breaking Bad universe, yet the show quickly solidified itself as a perfect TV spinoff.
Despite its potential to tarnish a near-flawless show like Breaking Bad, Better Call Saul quickly established itself as a perfect TV spin-off. Before Breaking Bad ended its five-year run in July 2013, a spin-off was confirmed to be in development centered on the character of Saul Goodman. According to Better Call Saul's co-creators Vince Gilligan and Peter Gould, the ideas for the story began as early as 2009 when Saul was introduced to Breaking Bad season 2.
Given that both Gilligan and Gould were so in tune with the Breaking Bad universe, Better Call Saul was improved as a result. Usually, TV spin-offs are made years after the original show, with new creators at the helm. While this can sometimes work with the likes of House of the Dragon as an example, oftentimes they tend not to have the same tone and style as the original.
That being said, the prequel nature of Better Call Saul meant that new characters introduced to the show not in Breaking Bad - like Lalo Salamanca and Howard Hamlin - lacked tension. This was because they were expected to be killed off thanks to their lack of appearance in Breaking Bad.
5 Better Call Saul Didn’t Simply Replicate Breaking Bad’s Success Another reason as to why Better Call Saul is a perfect TV spin-off is that it did not simply attempt to replicate Breaking Bad's success. While it would have been easy to tell a story with different characters in the same crime-drama vein, Better Call Saul included many elements that differentiated itself from its counterpart. The core aspect in question is the show's focus as a legal drama.
