    The release of Better Call Saul’s series finale a few weeks ago also brought an end to what’s, in our opinion, the greatest television universe of all time after about 14 years. So, we think it’s time we took a look back at everything that went down in the 11 seasons across Breaking Bad and Better Call Saul, as well as the Breaking Bad movie, El Camino, in timeline order, going through the events year by year. But if you haven’t watched some or any of Breaking Bad, Better Call Saul, or El Camino, then make sure to check them out first, as they’ll each be linked in the description, before continuing on with our timeline breakdown of it.

      I disagree on term of community. Sometimes, one just likes a show or 2.
      However, I do recommend the series ZeroZeroZero, based on a book detailing the Mexican Cartel's relationship with 'Ndrangheta Mafia of Calabria Italy. They are the largest partnership and customer for European and Mediterranean cocaine distribution. Book is better, but Mogwai doing the soundtrack is a nice touch to the series. In US, most think the Mafia is long gone, which is far from true in USA. However, Southern Italy operates similar to Mexico where Don's rule the working class against the State of Italy/Mexico. Both are deeply rooted in Latin Roman Catholicism. 1 wears Rattlesnake Skin Boots and speaks Mexican dialect Español, the other in Lambskin Loafers and speaks Calabrese Italiano. Largely, cut from same cloth and their resolve is identitcal.

He resisted promotions because , deep down, knew his limitations. Once he went big league, to El Paso, he felt lost and humiliated by stronger, better, more intimidating colleagues. Just couldn't handle it that.

      While I Like the BB, NCS universe, I think the Sopranos (which began the Premier TV show trend, making season long arching stories, and moving tv shows away from just sitcoms & procedural Cop/Doctor shows).
      The sopranos was just more realistic in it's story telling, than Breaking Bad shows.
      In BB, many of those scenarios the people would have been locked up immediately, and the solutions they use to get out of arrests & being assassinated require a real suspension of disbelief.
      While in sopranos, they actually get shot, with many Capos & Soldiers being taken out, and some may survive with heavy medical treatment. To beat court cases or arrests, they have dirty cops/judges working for them, which is what happens in the real world.....
      While in BB you have them using magnetic trucks to disrupt computers in police evidence lockers, or have Saul pulling courtroom antics that would have him disbarred, arrested for contempt, and fail at getting his clients off Bev the judges would order them to have a new lawyer.
      BB requires a large suspension of disbelief, and while it's entertaining, it's not realistic compared to shows like Sopranos, or even Sons of Anarchy, or Mayans M.C.

      As far as your BB and Sopranos reality, there's multiple murders that were out in the open, with FBI supposedly watching or bugging phones. If they got uncle jr. and Tony's mom, imagine the stuff they got from the meetings with CAPOS at green grove.
      Not to mention Tony Soprano not saying anything on the home phone, but then in the Pine Barrens episode screaming multiple times is there any way the package could have survived and he could be walking into a buzz saw with the mob boss he mentions on phone. Christopher with his loud mouth and killing the writer. Like his wife didn't know it was him.

    More of a chronological synopsis than a timeline.

    Great video, truly a fantastic overview of a huge universe of characters and events. My only nitpick would be that at 6:50, regarding Jimmy’s return to Cicero, I’m fairly certain it was implied to be at least several days, if a week, before Marco has a heart attack, not the next day. Other than that, absolutely stellar ✨🔥

    The most interesting and crazy thing about the timeline of both series (which are the same), is that it is so well scripted and put together, that it is full of butterfly effects. One bigger than the other.

    Better call saul has got to be the most successful and effective 'prequel' show of all time. Its a freaking genius strategy as it leads new watchers to the Breaking bad time line and vise versa. I dare to even state Saul was a better story and a better main character to follow as he has a better hero persona and blossoming love story where as Heisenberg had the opposite.

But seriously, I watched BCS and came here to understand the crossovers. I tried watching BB but didn't get past 2 episodes as the violence was too disturbing to me at the time. Not sure if I can stomach it, it was bad enough in BCS, but I got through it bc Saul is such a compelling character. It's also such a long series idk if I can commit to it.

      Although it's a good concept, it probably won't work from a practical perspective. They could just get away with it in BCS, but Jonathon Banks is too old now to be portraying mike from the 80's/90's. They would either have to use makeup or special effects to de-age him, or use an entirely different actor, both of which would ruin the immersion in my opinion.

    • @brEZ527
      @brEZ527 Рік тому

      @@jto541 I don’t think using a different actor would ruin the immersion. Only one character will change actors. The rest of the characters I mentioned were barely in the other two shows, if at all, so there’s no reason for those characters to change, and new actors will have to be found so you might as well find a new actor for Mike as well. For example, the actor for the spider man movies has changed twice, and it doesn’t really take away from the immersion of the story at all. I’m still able to enjoy all the movies as much as I did for the first 3.

      I also wanted to point out they actively both have someone there suppose to be loyal to from the start but because of that they faced the consequences. For Jesse it's Heisenberg and for Nacho it's Tuco both of them pretty much started with them (well Jesse started with Emilio but he gained an actual attraction with Heisenberg) they had a friendship with them and rise up the ranks but slowly by slowly both realises there both horrible and they have gone so far the deep end they would even kill there own partners if they we're triggered with something(ex. Heisenberg kills Mike because of his ego being hurt and Tuco kills one of his partners chz he was on drugs) that's what actually made Jesse and Nacho want to quit it and get out of the game but them plotting against Tuco and Heisenberg only made things worse for them for Jesse it's the Neo Nazis killing Hank and Steve and torturing him for months while for Nacho it's getting controlled by Gus making brutal sacrifices and all of it is for him to be set up to killed.
      And after all of it they also have a good heart even after all their actions, Jesse has always been a good guy in nature who caught up with people like Emilio and it's shown once he started being committed with Andrea and Brock that they were his every thing and for Nacho it's his father whom he had a good relationship with and both were willing to take the sacrifices of protecting them at all coses with Nacho willing to take brutal beatings and killing himself and Jesse by literally breaking up with Andrea and taking even months of torture to protect Brock. Ultimately both of them were so well written and wish they got one interaction with each other would have been sick
