Unlike many shows, Breaking Bad didn’t have a “bad” season, and even offered up some of its best episodes in its final year.
Also, while Breaking Bad itself may have headed to a relatively early grave, Gilligan’s knack for storytelling has lived on in AMC’s prequel/spinoff show Better Call Saul.
It may not yet have hit the cult status that Breaking Bad achieved, but with its fourth season airing later this year, Saul is playing catch-up to its sister show’s five seasons.
It may be regarded as one of the best shows its time, but creator Vince Gilligan reveals why he ended Breaking Bad after just five seasons.
