Many critics have called it a worthy successor to Breaking Bad and one of the best prequels ever made, with some deeming it superior to its predecessor.

Jimmy’s life and career begin to intersect with the illegal drug trade and feature characters and story arcs that continue into Breaking Bad and feature characters that continue to appear in the series.
