"What Better Call Saul is really showing us is the plate tectonics at work on our moral beings," says John Lopez. "By the time Breaking Bad started, all the grievances that had set Walter White to become a meth mastermind had already happened: Losing his share of Grey Matter, spending years, decades probably, festering in high school chemistry, all that rot eating away at the joyful family life he could barely appreciate until the cancer diagnosis popped the cork on Walter's crucial realization: I don't want to be Mr. Chips, I want to be Scarface. Let's get a camper and cook some meth! Better Caul Saul, however, lets us see it all."
