Is Better Call Saul A Prequel To Breaking Bad?

Better Call Saul is an American drama series belonging to the crime genre and is created by Vince Gilligan and Peter Gould. The series has received an 8.8 IMDb rating which speaks for itself along with great words from critics and a huge fan base. The series is actually not only a prequel but also a spin-off and a sequel to Vince Gilligan’s other world-famous creation breaking bad. the story rotates around the time when jimmy McGill was struggling as a public defendant and his entire journey to the well-known and famous Saul goodman whom we are quite familiar with in the breaking bad series.

The setting of the series is done in a way that Better Call Saul comes first, then comes breaking bad which is set after 5-6 years of the first series, and then comes El Camino as the last. Now another big question that rises is ether we can enjoy any of the series individually without watching the other three series. The answer is complete, yes, though the series has a setting quite interrelated, they mostly concentrate on their main characters and storyline where we don’t need many references from the previous series. Thus, the order of Gilligan’s creation doesn’t limit us to enjoy any of the series separately.
