Better Call Saul

Better Call Saul is an American TV series that began in 2015 and concluded in 2022, running for a total of 6 seasons.

Plot
Better Call Saul follows Jimmy McGill, a small-time struggling lawyer that will later become the corrupt Saul Goodman that works for Walter White in Breaking Bad six years later. Jimmy is someone naturally drawn to allure of power and scamming or ripping off whoever he needs to get that power. The show follows Jimmy's path down the trail of corruption to his character in Breaking Bad. Along with this, the show also follows fan favorites Mike Ehrmantraut and Gus Fring from Breaking Bad in their own journeys towards the people they are in Breaking Bad, along with bringing in new original characters that act as catalysts for the main characters later on.

Fanon
Better Call Saul was met hesitantly after the idea of a prequel to one of the greatest shows ever made was proposed. However, the series soon came into its own, receiving glowing critical acclaim for every aspect of the film-making process. It was able to join its predecessor as being touted one of the greatest shows of all time and has collected over 280 total nominations, including 46 Emmy nominations. The show was created by Vince Gilligan, creator of Breaking Bad, alongside Breaking Bad writer Peter Gould, who originally created the character of Saul Goodman on the first show.

With so many new dynamics and characters, audiences gravitated to a multitude of ships, most of which were not considered or even present at all in Breaking Bad. Fans were overjoyed at the series finally confirming the canon queerness of cartel kingpin Gus Fring, being shown more evidence of his connection to his tragically murdered partner Max, as well as his attempt at allowing himself to love again after the tragedy. New characters Nacho, Lalo and Kim were also fan favorites for their connections and interactions with Jimmy as well as each other.
