While many were hesitant about the viability of extending the Breaking Bad brand, over the last three seasons Better Call Saul has transformed into something truly unique and special on its own....

For many horror movie fans, 1999’s The Blair Witch Project holds a special place in their hearts. It’s not just that the film blurred the lines of fact and fiction with its one of a kind marketing campaign leading up to the film’s release.

By their very nature, spinoffs don’t tend to occur unless the series that spawned them has itself become very popular, or in some cases outright iconic. Such was the case with Better Call Saul, AMC’s prequel spinoff to Breaking Bad.
