10 Reasons Why Better Call Saul Could Be As Good As Breaking Bad
10. It's Created By Vince Gilligan, The Man Behind Breaking Bad
When Better Call Saul was announced, one of the first questions many fans of Breaking Bad asked was, who was going to helm the show? After all, it's not uncommon for spin-off shows to be handed over to a fresh team to develop, which all too often leads to a notable dip in quality. Thankfully, this wasn't the case with Better Call Saul - indeed, the show has been headed up by pretty much the original production crew of its predecessor, not least with Breaking Bad creator Vince Gilligan taking the top spot along with his collaborator Peter Gould. With the same talent working on the series, the same standard of writing, production design and directing is all but guaranteed - and looking at the first two episodes it's safe to say that they're putting every bit as much effort into Better Call Saul as they did with Breaking Bad.
