How did Better Call Saul nearly become a sitcom?

It’s somewhat of an event in the world of series. The five-episode final season of Better Call Saul was released earlier this week on Netflix. If you’re anything like us, you’ve been closely following the moral dilemmas of nice guy Jimmy McGill as he turns into shady lawyer Saul Goodman. So if you haven’t already binged your way through the final episodes, you must be on edge! It’s a fitting finale for a show which was launched back in 2015 as a spin off of Breaking Bad. Now Breaking Bad has long been seen as one of the best crime drama series out there, alongside the likes of The Wire and The Sopranos. So bringing out a prequel was somewhat risky. But it certainly ended up paying off. Many people rate Better Call Saul just as highly as Breaking Bad, if not higher.
