There is a deeper meaning to the opening credits of Better Call Saul that makes the show even more tragic. The Breaking Bad prequel tells the story of lawyer Saul Goodman (Bob Odenkirk), going back to when he was known as Jimmy McGill. Even though Saul was often a source of comic relief in Breaking Bad, many of Better Call Saul's best episodes are dramatic and tragic, and are sometimes even more emotional than iconic moments from Breaking Bad.
