'Better Call Saul': 11 ‘Breaking Bad’ Episodes To Watch On Netflix Before The Spinoff Premiere
Television lovers will want to be glued to AMC Sunday. Besides the return of the hit series “The Walking Dead,” the network will be rolling out the premiere of the highly anticipated “Breaking Bad” spinoff, “Better Call Saul.”
“Better Call Saul” will reunite “Breaking Bad” fans with shady attorney Saul Goodman (Bob Odenkirk) and hitman extraordinaire Mike Ehrmantraut (Jonathan Banks). The spinoff is set before Saul got wrapped up with Walter White (Bryan Cranston) and Jesse Pinkman (Aaron Paul), while Saul was going by the name “Jimmy McGill.” Fans will get to see how Jimmy McGill turned into Saul Goodman, and the events in his life that led to the shifty strip-mall law office.
The spinoff is getting a special two-night premiere on AMC Sunday, Feb. 8, and Monday, Feb. 9, at 10 p.m. EST. Prepare for the big event by binge-watching “Breaking Bad” on Netflix. We’ve rounded up the 11 must-watch episodes featuring the very best (or worst) of Saul Goodman:
