Rhea Seehorn's Crime Drama Masterpiece With Near-Perfect Rotten Tomatoes Score Keeps Getting Better

Rhea Seehorn recently won a Golden Globe for her performance in the new drama series Pluribus, which should encourage audiences to revisit her stellar work in Better Call Saul. The prequel series with a near-perfect Rotten Tomatoes score became the perfect addition to the Breaking Bad franchise and has proven itself to be aging very well since the series finale aired in 2022.

Pluribus and Better Call Saul both bring intense drama to viewers, so it would make sense that fans of one show could bleed into the other. Fans have raved about the rewatchability of Better Call Saul, exploring its many layers and timeless themes. Pluribus has also seen Seehorn reuniting with her Better Call Saul family, from creator Vince Gilligan to co-star Patrick Fabian.

Better Call Saul Is Aging Well

In the streaming age, one major factor a series must have is rewatchability. Breaking Bad has been thought to age well based on its timeless themes and characters. In the case of the prequel series, the same can be said for Better Call Saul, thanks to characters like Saul Goodman and Kim Wexler.

The quality of Better Call Saul only increased as the show went on, and it can be argued that the series attained masterpiece status by the time it came to an end in 2022. In fact, there's enough evidence stemming from the remarkable character development, storytelling, and cinematography to support the notion that Better Call Saul is better than Breaking Bad.

For one thing, it can be enjoyed on many different levels. Fans can enjoy the series based on their love of Breaking Bad. However, viewers can also relate to the central issues the characters go through. In that sense, you don't even need to be familiar with Breaking Bad to enjoy Better Call Saul.

Rhea Seehorn's Pluribus Success Is A Reminder To Revisit Better Call Saul

Not only is Pluribus a critical success, currently holding a 98% score on Rotten Tomatoes, but the show has already earned Rhea Seehorn her first Golden Globe. Seehorn's Golden Globe for Pluribus helped make up for the fact that she had been overlooked for so long during her time on Better Call Saul.

Though Seehorn plays the lead in Pluribus, her performance throughout Better Call Saul was just as impressive. As the show progressed, Kim's character became more complex, becoming pulled into Jimmy's dangerous cons. Instead of sticking to the sidelines in a supporting role, Kim emerged as a vital figure in the series and was one of the main reasons for its critical acclaim.

In addition to Seehorn's talent, there are other connections that should encourage audiences of Pluribus to check out Better Call Saul. For starters, the mastermind behind both shows is creator Vince Gilligan. Another surprising connection came in the form of a cameo in Pluribus season 1, episode 5, "Got Milk." Patrick Fabian, who played Howard Hamlin on Better Call Saul, was heard as the voice of the Others' phone answering service.

What The Cast Of Better Call Saul Has Done Since The Show Ended

While Rhea Seehorn has moved to another hit series, she's not the only Better Call Saul cast member who has been busy. Bob Odenkirk has appeared as Uncle Lee in several episodes of The Bear, including season 2's "Fishes." The episode ended up earning Odenkirk a nomination for Outstanding Guest Actor in a Comedy Series at the 2024 Primetime Emmy Awards. He also starred in the series Lucky Hank, as well as movies like Nobody 2 and Normal.

Jonathan Banks pivoted to animation since the end of Better Call Saul, voicing Brit, an elderly superhero in the Prime Video series Invincible, since the show's third season. He also appeared in Netflix's The Beast in Me, which debuted in November 2025. Giancarlo Esposito has also stayed busy since Better Call Saul concluded.

In addition to more appearances in The Mandalorian, Esposito continues to play Stan Edgar in The Boys. Other TV projects include Kaleidoscope, The Gentlemen, Parish, The Residence, Poker Face, and The Boys' spinoff, Gen V. Esposito has also been doing a lot of movies since Better Call Saul. Some of the most notable include Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Mutant Mayhem​​​​​​, MaXXXine, Captain America: Brave New World, and The Electric State.
