Memes aside:

Which one is actually better? I see ratings for Better Call Saul are very low, so I'm thinking most people still prefer Breaking Bad

I like better call saul more but breaking bad is better.

bcs is easier to watch because its more consistent, but its a tad too slow
brba is better, but the inconsistency gets annoying

BCS has had a lot of filler since Season 4. BrBa pretty much had none.

Breaking Bad is better.

I'm yet to see a single person give a valid reason for why they think BCS is better.

BCS doesn't go to shit after 3rd season

Both are shit

Can you explain that differently? I don't understand how you can like something more but believe it's not as good

I disagree. I haven't noticed any filler. Every episode felt like progression. Slow at times but never pointless

Better Call Saul is Breaking Bad without pandering to reddit

I like the characters on bcs better but enjoy the plot and acting more on BB

I prefer BCS. I feel like it has better characters, like you said. I think it also has zero filler. Every episode feels like it's progressing in some way and leading somewhere. Plus, I like the tension and sense of doom. That tense scene in season 5 episode 9 with Lalo, Kim, and Saul was more tense than any episode of Breaking Bad.

I dunno it feels more grounded humanistic

BCS is a more well written show, more subtle characters etc. but it doesn't have the stakes that BB had. While the courtroom scenes are excellent in BCS, there are no gunfights in the desert or life and death struggles.

I feel like the highs are higher in Breaking Bad but I still think BCS is a better and more consistent show. It's very nuanced and never feels like it's trying to be cinematic, but instead it's very subtle and grounded

Well you are of course right that BCS is all of those things, I really think its down to matter of taste in what kind of show you like.

Breaking Bad is objectively better. Better Call Saul is just trying to tell the same story (good guy gradually becomes bad guy) in an inferior way, and its plotlines are meandering, poorly justified and thematically void

>there are no gunfights in the desert or life and death struggles
There's both

Jimmy isn't "a good guy" at the start of the show.

Keep watching BCS, the stakes get higher as it goes on

when are there any gunfights? I don't remember anyway. And if there are life and death struggles they don't involve the main characters. Most of the conflict revolves around career/financial success, same as BB.

On the technical front i feel BCS is better. Vince is mastering his craft and i love it.
Breaking bad might be the better story overall though. a more complete arc.
breaking bad is easy to recommend, even to plebs. BCS is not so easy. it's slower and more dialogue driven than BB.
his is all a feeling however, it doesn't really matter. Both shows are excellent.

Its true I haven't seen the latest season.

The second episode saw Jimmy pleading with Tuco (a fucking nutcase) for his own life and the lives of his clients. It was definitely a life-or-death struggle

watch s5

Yeah I was thinking of this episode, so I guess this is kinda technically right but isn't it an inferior rehash of the BB episode with Tuco in the desert? Does it really hit as hard as the kidnapping of Walt and Jessie? And I think that episode is one of the most reliant on being a prequel, since we know who Tuco is already.

>Better Call Saul is just trying to tell the same story (good guy gradually becomes bad guy) in an inferior way
this is an over simplification.
the humanity and depth given to character Saul is unmatched in BB. it's exactly because Vince is taking it slow in BCS. it might be the meandering, or the filler, it's irrelevant. Vince chose his small corner of timeline to work in and stretching it out for 6 seasons is proving two things:
a) the tension is insane; knowing half of what's going to happen is proving worse than knowing none of it. the countdown is always on in your head.
b) events are becoming inexplicably complex for the detriment of the show.

The Tuco episode was really silly. Tuco is much more sensible in BCS than BB. I was expecting Tuco to really mess up those skaters, or possibly kill them, but he doesn't. The whole conversation between Tuco and Jimmy is really cartoony. BB Tuco wouldn't let a lawyer type talk to him like that when he was implicated as well

the fart one is better

I believe it to be BCS. Although it's been years since I watched BrBa, so it may need some revisioning on my part

BrBa had a lot of filler, it was just exciting filler

I agree the fartiest one

I'm rewatching BrBa right now for the first time since watching it all 7 years ago. I waited until I forgot enough of the show to rewatch it because honestly when you know every plot twist and turn it doesn't have a lot of rewatchability.
I love BrBa, I'm really enjoying this rewatch, but it's not a very deep show honestly

BCS is 75%-90% boring Jimmy-Kim-Chuck filler with the rest as Mike-Nacho-Salamanca-Gus kino. BB had a better boring filler-action kino ratio.

BCS is better written but BrBa is more normie-friendly

Lalo isn't in BrBa. Saul wins.

This is possibly the dumbest take I've ever read on this board.

This desu. I just did the exact same thing. I'd forgotten most of the final season, but everything else was burnt into my memvory. I eventually just skipped every Skylar/Marie/Walt Jnr/pointless scene and just watch the good stuff, particularly anything with Saul, Mike or Gus. The other characters are boring as fuck once you know what's going to happen. Season 5 felt like tacked on fan fic or anime time skip filler. Jesse's character got it the worst out of everybody and he did not deserve it at all. That really felt like the writers said fuck it whatever lets just end this show already, then years later finally went back and tried to end it properly with El Camino.

Just started with Better Call Saul and I'm already liking it more that BrBa.

BB was more exciting but I ended up hating most of the characters quite a bit, and it always makes for uncomfortable rewatches because, while well written and portrayed, I just don't enjoy watching those people; watching Walt being a little impulsive egomaniac, Skylar being a cunt, Jesse fucking up constantly, etc.

BCS on the other hand is like a distillation of everything I liked. It's slower, sure, but a "comfier" experience IMO.
