Continuity mistake: After Jimmy leaves Mike at the Los Pollos, Mike looks through is binoculars and is supposed to be looking at the mirror with them. The shot of the rear view mirror shows him looking off to his left however, not at the mirror as it should be.

Witness - S3-E2

Continuity mistake: While Kim is talking to Jimmy he is pulling of the tape off the wall. As she sits down to the couch, Jimmy's hands are at the same height as his head.

Other mistake: While setting up the shot to drop drugs on the Salamanca truck, Mike puts the drugs in the left sneaker. He later shoots through the right sneaker. (00:29:29 - 00:38:06)

Sunk Costs - S3-E3

Continuity mistake: Mike sets a trap to taint a cartel's truck with drug residue. First, he inserts a bag of cocaine in a shoe, then throws the pair of shoes over a telephone wire. His plan is to shoot the hanging shoe so the cocaine powder pours out onto the truck as it passes under the wire. However, when he inserts the drugs it is in the right shoe, but later, it is the left shoe he shoots and has the powder in it. (00:29:30 - 00:38:00)

Off Brand - S3-E6

Continuity mistake: The newspaper Hector is reading when Domingo comes in keeps changing around. For example, when you see him reading the sports page, there's half a picture of a baseball player on the front and the bottom half should be seen on the side Hector is reading. When we see what he's reading, part of the picture is now a football player.

Mijo - S1-E2

Trivia: The guy who breaks the two brothers' legs is Tuco Salamanca, a drug dealer that makes a deal to sell the blue meth with Walter White in Breaking Bad.

Upvote valid corrections to help move entries into the corrections section.

Suggested correction: I'm not sure this qualifies as trivia. Throughout the entire series, there are several characters that had very prominent roles in Breaking Bad. Tuco is, without question, extremely recognizable the moment we see him on screen.

Answer: It is my opinion that you should absolutely watch Breaking Bad first. If you did not know, Better Call Saul takes place before the events of Breaking Bad. At the time I am posting this, BCS is mid-way through season 5, with season 6 on the way perhaps in a year. So if you binge Better Call Saul now, you would not be able to "flow" right into Breaking Bad. To me, it's better to watch in the order that they came out. Breaking Bad was a phenomenal show, and now watching Better Call Saul, it is fun to watch the events unfold and start to lead up to what we saw in BB. Enjoy.

Answer: Now that it's ended, this question can be fully answered. Better Call Saul includes events after the conclusion of Breaking Bad, as well as references to and descriptions of major events from the latter. Not only would Breaking Bad be spoiled for you by watching Better Call Saul first, but there's a lot that wouldn't be understood.

Chosen answer: So far the show has been about Saul's struggles as a lawyer long before the Breaking Bad timeline (Spoiler Alert: It starts out for the most part at a time when he didn't even go by the name Saul).
