  • This giant video is a supercut of my Breaking Bad and Better Call Saul rankings, re-organised into a new and improved ultimate ranking of both shows. There are also new segments on Slippin' Jimmy and El Camino, plus I have new segments for episodes where my opinion has changed significantly. Plus there's a few special surprises hidden in this 195 minute behemoth. Enjoy!

    I think a way to improve everything about Gus and Lalo's confrontation would be for Gus to have planted multiple guns in the superlab. Overkill? Perfectly in character for Gus. Would it deflate the tension because Gus would have too many ways to win? Maybe, I'm not sure. But I think it would also add a different kind of tension by forcing Gus to think on his feet and choose which gun would be ideal to go for in his current circumstance. It would also lessen the predictability, since if he has multiple guns we can't know *exactly* how things would go, since we don't know which gun he'd go for. Hell, lessen the predictability even more by having him plant different types of defense tools, not just guns.

      @@HNfilms It seems to be implied that Jimmy taking the fall for everything leaves her more or less in the clear...correct me if you think I'm wrong though. There is still the potential civil suit I suppose. Kim was the driving force in the demise of Howard and I just felt that Jimmy took all the fall.

    W vid idea, I’ve got a couple of strong agrees/disagrees though that I think are fun to talk about. I like how your favorites aren’t all just the super basic top IMDB picks, but I think having some kind of time stamps in the description/comments for returning viewers to see the new segments would be good. I had to skip around just bc I’ve already watched the past rankings and I wanted to see what was new, something to streamline that process would be cool.
    This is gonna be a long comment, I nearly made an hour+ long video on this topic but I doubt I’ll ever get around to making it bc of time:
    I really like the BB S4 and S3 placements. IMO S4 is easily the most overrated portion of either show; a lot of bros say it’s the best season bc of Walt vs Gus but it’s one of the weakest in writing quality. From my perspective, both of these shows are at their best when they find a healthy balance between plot and character development. BB S3 is probably the best at that balance, as Walt, Skyler, and Hank are at their most complex while there are still plenty of exciting, memorable scenes and the plot has a clear direction. The character writing in S4 is comparatively thin, and the slower, early season episodes almost exclusively progress plot (buying the laundromat, establishing the cartel conflict) which isn’t very interesting, while seasons 2 and 3 used those slower episodes to focus on the characters, which makes those episodes comparatively richer. S5 is arguably more plot driven than S4 but seeing Walt in his sigma super villain mode was really satisfying after watching his moral compass progressively degrade over so many episodes, and the team’s “craft” really felt perfected by then. Most of S4 feels pretty surface level on a rewatch; S2 and S3 are far more layered, though the Walt + Skyler bickering in S2 gets pretty tiresome to watch. S3 is also hilarious, the cringe Walt scenes early on are genuinely some of the funniest bits of any film/show I’ve ever watched
    I think going too far in the “character direction” on the plot vs character spectrum can be a bad thing too. Having BCS S1 as the best season is absolutely insane to me lol but the lower stakes and lack of an overarching narrative give the characters more room to breathe, and I understand why you might like that. But without a clear driving force for the plot, these episodes feel aimless and inconsequential.
    As a point of comparison, BCS S4 leaves a ton of space for its characters too, but the overarching thematic and plot arcs, of Jimmy’s handling of Chuck’s suicide, the Werner situation challenging Mike’s ethical code of treating people who are in/out of the game differently, and Kim’s growing resentment with Mesa Verde and the pride she develops from her pro bono work, all feel far more intentional than S1’s “case of the week” approach. S4 has a lot of slow scenes like S1, but, unlike S1, I never thought the writers didn’t have a clear goal in mind with every episode. It feels like every S4 scene gives the viewer new insights into the characters that then become pivotal pieces of their arcs, while S1 is just kinda filling up time as the writers conjure up some menial problems that Jimmy can solve. I’m speaking in absolutes here; there are some examples that fit and don’t fit in with these generalizations (Chuck’s hidden resentment of Jimmy was well woven throughout the whole season, the Hummel heist serves Jimmy’s arc but is pretty inconsequential, etc.) but the overall impression of each season is what I’m talking about here.
    I also think S1 looks kinda ugly as the lighting and color grading are a little too drab/flat. BCS’ aesthetic definitely peaked in S3 and S4; S2 is a little too saturated for me and S5 and S6 have this weird depth of field effect that sometimes makes it seem like the characters are standing in front of a green screen (the Kim and Cliff convo in Hit and Run really sticks in my mind as looking weird). I think they used new cameras in those final seasons bc NM doesn’t have actual film anymore or something like that, but the actual shot composition in a lot of these later episodes, JMM and Bad Choice Road stick out in particular, are still really great.
    Some underrated episodes on this list to me were One Minute, Salud, Rebecca, Piñata, and JMM. They all have great, subtle character moments, while also having really memorable sections that have stuck with me. Fun and Games is probably my favorite BCS episode; it’s a cascade of subtly devastating moments that perfectly wrap up everyone’s arcs, and, though the cold cut felt really jarring and almost disappointing at first, in retrospect I think it’s absolutely genius. It perfectly communicates Jimmy’s emptiness in a way that a wacky montage where Saul pimps out his office wouldn’t have been able to, and I legit think it’s on the same level as the iconic 2001, bone to space station cut in regard to all-time best edits.
    On a totally different note, your vids are really well made. The editing is crisp, the jokes are tight, etc. It’s always cool to see smaller-ish channels have high production quality, and I’ve enjoyed watching your vids ever since BCS ended
    Ozy is definitely the best BB episode though, having it at 15 is a big skill issue and completely invalidates everything.
    TLDR: This video is mid

    ...the way it happens with the camera angle and table slam is very much like Chuck's own slip that I actually wonder if it was intentional as it also was Jimmy induced...vut even if it isn't, in retrospective its kinda funny they gave him that; though when I watched the episode first time me and my brother were legit speechless for almost a whole minute in disbelief.

    I can’t tell how how much of it is jokes and how much as serious. For instance, Hank being upset about being assigned to El Paso isn’t just “for some reason”. It’s because he’s the one who’s been making all the progress on the Heisenberg case and is obsessed with it on top of El Paso being super dangerous. There was one before that where he said it was also for no reason but yeah

Waterworks is seriously one of the best in the entire show. It is definitely in the top 20 and it is top 5 for me. Every Kim scene is just fantastic, and the episodes truly ends the arch of the most important character in the show, Kim. The cinematography is brilliant, the acting is brilliant, it is brilliant in its entirety. The Saul part is also very well built, Marion character grows so well in the end. The “Saul Goodman” line is perfect as well

      @@BalsamicJeebs pacing and cohesiveness isn’t really an issue since it’s pretty much a different type of show. It doesn’t TRY to be cohesive yet it handles the story really well. Season 1-2 are more of a layout of the main characters and season 3 is when things really kick off. The main reason why I prefer bcs over bb is because while BB is more cohesive, it also acts as a negative in comparison to bcs since a lot of the impactful moments don’t have nearly as much of a buildup as bcs’s due to the fact that it’s a faster paced show. Take the end of chicanery for example, it took 2 entire seasons of clear buildup between the dynamic of chuck and jimmy for the episode to feel as satisfying as it did. Ozymandias is a 10/10 episode however it could’ve potentially hit EVEN harder if we got to see more laid back moments between Walt and Hank, and that’s something bcs fixes. It focuses a lot more on the characters as opposed to the plot (albeit not by THAT much since both shows do both aspects very well) and as a result the few fast paced/payoff moments hit harder than they otherwise should’ve.
      Oh yea also cinematography and visual storytelling is a clear step up from breaking bad. It’s utilized nearly every episode and done to near perfection that gives the show a very distinct feel compared to BB.
      I think both shows are masterpieces but I think bcs edges out as a more polished vision

    It’s nice to see another Fly fan, I adored the episode and don’t understand why so many people hate it. It’s just a great character study of our two protagonists from beginning to end. I love slow episodes in much more high stakes shows that throw an innocuous problem at the characters just to see how they react

    Walt's plan to end Gale hinged entirely on Gale not answering the phone when Mike, Victor, and whoever else called him. It's one of the worst "because the script said so" moments in an otherwise near-perfect show.

    Salud and Granite State are the only contenders for show-best episode.
    ( Ozymandias is not included, bcs I believe Ozymandias is only to shock the audience and catalyze the inertia of ALL the previous episodes before it. Doing that alone earns it famous IMDB reputation.
    It's also not Felina because Felina is the weakest of the final 3 (it doesn't do heavylifting like Ozy and GS) and also Felina will live and die by the final showdown, there's nothing else that will be remembered of Felina. Another merit it has is the perfect final exchange between Walt and Jesse. )
    So Salud is great because of the cartel sequence and the talk between Walt and Walt Jr. It features Gus, which in BrBa terms, is a huge character. Again, where Salud falls short is that it will reducibly only be remembered for the cartel scene.
    Then there's Granite State. It's a long and sobering slow burn from start to end. While unintentional, many people remark that the whiteness of the snow very distinctly contrasts the orange landscapes of every other episode, especially Mexico. Besides that, GS also features 3 strong scenes that will be remembered, unlike featuring only one solid scene.
    These scenes are: Walt in isolation, Jesse's escape and his consequence, and of course the bar scene.
    Overall, the writing and planning from the writers fully comes across in this episode. If Breaking Bad is life, then Ozymandias is death and Granite State is hell. We literally follow the bitter after-effects of the explosive finale. The writers nailed the emotional beats too. Acting is great here especially from the 2 leads, Bryan and Aaron. This is why I say Granite State is the best episode. And a show-best episode ending helps the episode overall very much. The snow and whiteness of the episode just make it even more sobering, psychologically.

      @@HNfilmsBy that logic, all of Breaking Bad went too well for Walt. I guess Walt killing Gus and Mike, a drug lord and a hitman who are main characters in BCS went too well for him as well. He’s literally a criminal mastermind. There’d be no point in Better Call Saul existing if Walt didn’t constantly win up until Ozymandias, which is the whole basis for the final act of Better Call Saul in the first place
