Con artists, kingpins, and criminals fill the Breaking Bad and Better Call Saul universe. Saul Goodman, Walter White, Jesse Pinkman, and most of the rest of the cast take on roles normally filled by antagonists and villains, but they don’t act like it. They aren’t often crazy, violent, or impulsive. They spend most of their time discussing logistics or thinking quietly in rundown strip malls and cramped vehicles. And, you watch them do it. These shows capture the process of committing a crime; that process is long and sometimes slow. But, don’t mistake slow for uninteresting. Hard work is hard to hate, and hard to look away from.

Note: While I use Vince Gilligan’s name as shorthand in this video, it should be noted that Breaking Bad and Better Call Saul were written, directed, edited, and produced by a very large team of incredibly talented people. This includes but is not limited to the creator of the Saul character, Peter Gould. Unfortunately, I can’t include all of these individuals in a 100character YouTube title, but I would if I could.
