Better Call Saul may be a prequel to Breaking Bad, but it has proven to be just as compelling as its predecessor, able to stand on its own while also avoiding the myriad of issues that commonly plague other prequels.

How exactly does Better Call Saul do this? To figure this out, fellow film enthusiast Omega Review and I will be taking a look at other well known prequels and comparing what they do wrong with what Better Call Saul does right.
