10 TV Show Spin-Offs That Are Practically Flawless
3. Better Call Saul
From: Breaking Bad.
Unlike most shows explored on this list, Better Call Saul is an example of a spinoff that may have actually surpassed the level of excellence reached in its predecessor - the impossibly great Breaking Bad.
Starring Bob Odenkirk as shady lawyer Jimmy McGill, the drama acts as a prequel to the horrors later faced by Walter White and Jesse Pinkman, exploring how Saul Goodman became the man who would eventually side with Heisenberg and his meth empire.
A meticulous character study and a stunning example of effective fan service, Better Call Saul's sublimely tight writing, spotless ensemble - including Odenkirk, Jonathan Banks, and scene-stealing newcomer Rhea Seehorn - made it a modern masterpiece with an endless supply of tricks and twists up its sleeve.
