'Better Call Saul' vs 'Breaking Bad': How does the spinoff compare to the original?
Our favorite opportunistic, bottom-feeding, two-timing, cockroach-esque, criminal lawyer Saul Goodman will be making his return to the small screen with 'Better Call Saul' come August 6 next month, but an enduring question remains: does the series hold a candle to its much-vaunted predecessor 'Breaking Bad'?
A straight-up comparison would throw out a clear winner in the latter, but the same could be said for a vast majority of the shows out there. Instead, with the premiere of the 10-episode fourth season now just a little under two weeks away, it's fairer to take a look into why the spinoff deserves its own pedestal next to the original and why it is still very much one of the best shows on television today.
