As a huge fan of the intense Breaking Bad universe, I’ve been hooked on every twist and turn—from Walter White’s epic transformation in “Breaking Bad” to Jimmy McGill’s tricky legal and moral path in “Better Call Saul,” right up to the thrilling conclusion in “El Camino: A Breaking Bad Movie.”
In this article, I’ll show you the best platforms to watch these iconic shows, and, of course, present the right order to enjoy the most in these amazing stories.
Platforms That Are Streaming These TV Shows
When choosing where to watch, think about how you like to view your shows. Subscription services like Netflix let you access their entire catalog with one payment, which is perfect if you love binge-watching.
If you prefer picking and choosing what to watch, platforms that offer rentals or purchases might be better for you. Just remember, the availability of shows like “Breaking Bad” or “Better Call Saul” can vary depending on where you live, which is the case with many movies and shows, such as Interstellar.
- Netflix is the best spot if you want to watch all of “Breaking Bad,” “Better Call Saul,” and “El Camino” without any hassle. Just sign up, and you can binge all the episodes back-to-back.
- Amazon Prime Video is good if you like to jump around or rewatch your favorite episodes. You pay for each episode or season, so it’s great if you don’t want to commit to a full series all at once.
- Vudu Fandango works a lot like Amazon Prime Video where you can buy episodes as you go. It’s perfect if you have specific episodes in mind that you want to watch without buying the whole series.
- Redbox isn’t just those rental boxes outside grocery stores; they also let you rent or buy episodes online. It’s a flexible option if you’re not into subscriptions.
- Apple TV is perfect for anyone using Apple devices. It’s easy to buy and watch episodes right from your device, making it a convenient choice if you’re in the Apple ecosystem.
Is There a Right Order to Watch These Shows?
While there’s no universal answer, I’ve found that the order in which you watch a series can greatly influence both your experience.
Start with “Breaking Bad”
“Breaking Bad” kicked off in 2008 and it’s the foundation of the whole series. It follows Walter White as he goes from being a simple chemistry teacher to a notorious drug lord. Each season ramps up in intensity and complexity. Starting with this show is crucial because it sets up all the main characters and themes that are important in the later series and movie.
Transition to “Better Call Saul”
After you finish “Breaking Bad,” “Better Call Saul” is up next. This series is both a prequel and a sequel, exploring Jimmy McGill’s life as he struggles with his identity and morals before turning into Saul Goodman, the lawyer from “Breaking Bad.”
Conclude with “El Camino”
“El Camino: A Breaking Bad Movie” acts as a perfect epilogue to “Breaking Bad,” zeroing in on Jesse Pinkman’s life right after the series ends. It’s best to watch it after you’ve finished both series since it wraps up loose ends and provides a satisfying conclusion to Jesse’s wild ride.
Last Words
Your trip through the Breaking Bad universe is set to be both thrilling and memorable. With the right platform and viewing order, you’re all geared up for an epic adventure.
