12 Things You Need To Know Now About Better Call Saul
Catching up on Better Call Saul, the critically acclaimed spinoff of Breaking Bad? Here's everything you need to know as the new season gets rolling.
1. THE GENRE CHANGE
The producers of Better Call Saul were at a bit of a loss when tasked with creating a spinoff to arguably one of the most talked-about TV shows in recent history. They weren’t sure whether Saul Goodman was best displayed comically or dramatically, and after much consideration, a combination, dramedy, was the verdict.
At first, producers were thinking of creating a thirty-minute sitcom, especially given the cast’s comically trained backgrounds. Odenkirk, for instance, has much experience in this realm, including his work on shows such as W/ Bob and David (2015), Mr. Show and the Incredible, Fantastical News Report (1998), and Comedy Bang! Bang! (2012-2015). They also toyed with the idea of a crime show layout, where Saul would take on a new client every week.
Eventually, the idea of a dramedy won out, and it was ultimately a great choice for the show, as it became the perfect combination of Breaking Bad and Saul Goodman.
