    The release of Better Call Saul’s series finale a few weeks ago also brought an end to what’s, in our opinion, the greatest television universe of all time after about 14 years. So, we think it’s time we took a look back at everything that went down in the 11 seasons across Breaking Bad and Better Call Saul, as well as the Breaking Bad movie, El Camino, in timeline order, going through the events year by year. But if you haven’t watched some or any of Breaking Bad, Better Call Saul, or El Camino, then make sure to check them out first, as they’ll each be linked in the description, before continuing on with our timeline breakdown of it.

      I disagree on term of community. Sometimes, one just likes a show or 2.
      However, I do recommend the series ZeroZeroZero, based on a book detailing the Mexican Cartel's relationship with 'Ndrangheta Mafia of Calabria Italy. They are the largest partnership and customer for European and Mediterranean cocaine distribution. Book is better, but Mogwai doing the soundtrack is a nice touch to the series. In US, most think the Mafia is long gone, which is far from true in USA. However, Southern Italy operates similar to Mexico where Don's rule the working class against the State of Italy/Mexico. Both are deeply rooted in Latin Roman Catholicism. 1 wears Rattlesnake Skin Boots and speaks Mexican dialect Español, the other in Lambskin Loafers and speaks Calabrese Italiano. Largely, cut from same cloth and their resolve is identitcal.

Which causes him to go back to working on the Heisenberg case in an attempt to distract himself from his trauma, turning down another promotion which is how he managed to track down the RV

      Hank couldn't cope with going any higher than he already was. He liked to be the big fish in the small sea..with his barking and joke telling. He resisted promotions because , deep down, knew his limitations. Once he went big league, to El Paso, he felt lost and humiliated by stronger, better, more intimidating colleagues. Just couldn't handle it that.

      While I Like the BB, NCS universe, I think the Sopranos (which began the Premier TV show trend, making season long arching stories, and moving tv shows away from just sitcoms & procedural Cop/Doctor shows).
      The sopranos was just more realistic in it's story telling, than Breaking Bad shows.
      In BB, many of those scenarios the people would have been locked up immediately, and the solutions they use to get out of arrests & being assassinated require a real suspension of disbelief.
      While in sopranos, they actually get shot, with many Capos & Soldiers being taken out, and some may survive with heavy medical treatment. To beat court cases or arrests, they have dirty cops/judges working for them, which is what happens in the real world.....
      While in BB you have them using magnetic trucks to disrupt computers in police evidence lockers, or have Saul pulling courtroom antics that would have him disbarred, arrested for contempt, and fail at getting his clients off Bev the judges would order them to have a new lawyer.
      BB requires a large suspension of disbelief, and while it's entertaining, it's not realistic compared to shows like Sopranos, or even Sons of Anarchy, or Mayans M.C.

      As far as your BB and Sopranos reality, there's multiple murders that were out in the open, with FBI supposedly watching or bugging phones. If they got uncle jr. and Tony's mom, imagine the stuff they got from the meetings with CAPOS at green grove.
      Not to mention Tony Soprano not saying anything on the home phone, but then in the Pine Barrens episode screaming multiple times is there any way the package could have survived and he could be walking into a buzz saw with the mob boss he mentions on phone.

My only nitpick would be that at 6:50, regarding Jimmy’s return to Cicero, I’m fairly certain it was implied to be at least several days, if a week, before Marco has a heart attack, not the next day. Other than that, absolutely stellar ✨🔥

      Although it's a good concept, it probably won't work from a practical perspective. They could just get away with it in BCS, but Jonathon Banks is too old now to be portraying mike from the 80's/90's. They would either have to use makeup or special effects to de-age him, or use an entirely different actor, both of which would ruin the immersion in my opinion.

    • @brEZ527
      @brEZ527 ปีที่แล้ว

      @@jto541 I don’t think using a different actor would ruin the immersion. Only one character will change actors. The rest of the characters I mentioned were barely in the other two shows, if at all, so there’s no reason for those characters to change, and new actors will have to be found so you might as well find a new actor for Mike as well. For example, the actor for the spider man movies has changed twice, and it doesn’t really take away from the immersion of the story at all. I’m still able to enjoy all the movies as much as I did for the first 3.

    Better call saul has got to be the most successful and effective 'prequel' show of all time. Its a freaking genius strategy as it leads new watchers to the Breaking bad time line and vise versa.
