In many ways,Better Call Saulwas a completely different show thanBreaking Bad.
But structurally,Better Call Saulemulated a lot of what madeBreaking Badwork so well.
Much likeBreaking Bad, it chronicles the moral downfall of a complex antihero.
Andwhere Walt was flanked by the good-hearted Jesse, Jimmy was flanked by the good-hearted Kim.
Kim served the same dramatic purpose in Jimmys arc throughoutBetter Call Saul.
Thats not to say that Jesse was a flawless person who didnt actively do bad things.
