If You Can't Live Without Better Call Saul: Top 3 Shows To Help You Fill The Void 

Better Call Saul, the prequel to Breaking Bad — the best show in television history according to IMDb — managed to attract lots of viewers and bring new depth to the dangerous world of Walter White and Jesse Pinkman.

If you miss Better Call Saul as much as we do, here are three more series to provide you with a storm of emotions and exciting storylines.

1. Barry (2018–2023)

Starring the master of comedy Bill Hader, the show follows the life of an ex-Marine from the Midwest. Now a worthless and lonely hitman, he travels to Los Angeles for a job, where he accidentally enrolls in an acting class. Inspired by the creative atmosphere, Barry decides to become an actor and start a new life.

The show is a unique blend of genres, combining elements of black comedy, crime, and drama. Like Better Call Saul, Barry explores the deep and complex world of the main character and the theme of leading a double life.

2. Show Me a Hero (2015)

While we deliberately avoid the legendary The Sopranos and Ozark that everyone already knows, it's just impossible not to mention this miniseries from the iconic creator of The Wire, David Simon.

Show Me a Hero follows a young mayor, Nick Wasicsko, who is forced by a federal court order to build low-income housing in an upscale neighborhood of the city. The decision ends his political career and sparks a wave of citizen discontent that leads to protests and riots in the city's streets.

The show stars Oscar Isaac as the mayor and was directed by Paul Haggis, who also helmed the Oscar-winning Crash (2004) and wrote Million Dollar Baby (2004).

Meticulous attention to detail, thought-provoking themes, and compelling characters make this series a must-see for fans of Better Call Saul.

3. Mad Men (2007–2015)

This iconic show takes viewers back to the 1960s in the United States. The story revolves around the work of a prestigious advertising agency and the life of its creative director, a master of manipulation and intrigue, Don Draper.

At the height of his career, Draper confronts his competitors and tries to save his position in the company and his own family.

The popular show may seem like an unconventional choice to fill the void left by Better Call Saul. However, its dark humor, exploration of ambivalent issues, and stellar cast make Mad Men a great recommendation for fans of the Breaking Bad prequel.
