It started with Walter White over 14 years ago, and it ended with Jimmy McGill (aka Saul Goodman, aka Gene Takovic), a man who once seemed like an odd pick to helm a spin-off series to the transcendently brilliant Breaking Bad, before time made him one of the most compelling protagonists ever put to the small screen.

With over one 100 episodes across both shows, Breaking Bad and Better Call Saul comprise one of TV's greatest sagas, a story characterized by troubled men driven by their own ego and heartbreak; of the strong women around them constantly picking up the pieces of the mess they've created; and of redemption.

Breaking Bad set the standard with the rise and fall of Heisenberg, but it was Better Call Saul that took the franchise to new heights, proving time and time again to be a show of even greater vision, scale, and tragedy than the series which gave it life.

In honor of Better Call Saul's recent finale, then, now seems the best time to reflect on just how awe-inspiring the series was at its peak, by counting down the finest and most essential episodes that it had to offer during its six-season run.

With that in mind, let's salute the work of Peter Gould, Vince Gilligan, and Bob Odenkirk, and count down the 20 greatest episodes of Better Call Saul.

This article contains major spoilers for both Breaking Bad and Better Call Saul.
