Guillermo del Toro: Better Call Saul has proven to be better than Breaking Bad

Twitter

The Oscar-winning director used a series of tweets on Saturday to explain why he thinks Better Call Saul has emerged to outshine its predecessor: "A small reflection in the middle of BETTER CALL SAUL's new season: I like it even more than BB, not to be a contrarian but because the evident stakes seem smaller but the moral downfall strike me as deeper, more poignant...With Walter White (who turns Black) you were tracking a massive downfall/transformation. BCS takes you by the hand as Jimmy becomes Saul Goodman (No Good in him) in small painful tumbles...Kim is the key!...Even in his relationship with Chuck, Jimmy was an enabler, he kind of loved seeing Chuck diminished.  Both brothers wanted to see the other 'down'.  Beautifully laid out." ALSO: Breaking Bad is coming out with a 10th-anniversary music box set.
