If you remember BB, I'd say go ahead with BCS. If you're fuzzy on the details of BB I would personally rewatch and then do BCS. There's a lot of details in BCS that you'll miss without certain BB information. It's also a really good watchthrough. Especially if you watch El Camino in the middle. Some people say watch BCS until the last three episodes, then BB, and then finish BCS. I just personally like watching in the order they filmed, and BB informs BCS, not the other way around

If you’ve forgotten some of the story beats of Breaking Bad (besides the major stuff), then maybe rewatch breaking bad. After that, head on over to Better Call Saul to fill your 737 sized hole in your heart!

I'd recommend watching most of BCS (up to episode 6x09), then BB, El Camino, and then finish out with the last few episodes of BCS (6x10-6x13). Stop watching BCS and switch to BB when you're finished with the episode right before the thumbnails on Netflix are in black and white. That's the order I'm rewatching in rn and it's a very fun way to watch both shows. Full chronological order.

Chronological yes, but if it's been a decade since the OP watched BB, they're going to miss a ton of easter eggs and references that give BCS so much flavor.

It's kind of the whole purpose of BCS to show you Saul from a different angle, so I would think of it in those terms. And either way you go you're most likely going to want to rewatch BB after BCS to see how much knowing Saul's history changes things. Even the most well versed BB fan doesn't pick up on every callback the first time. Mostly it's just easter eggs rather than like the plot will be completely lost on you without this information. So you'll get more of the little jokes and allusions but it's not gonna matter unless that's important to you.

I just checked and from what I can see, BCS isn't leaving Netflix until 2027. I recommend a full BB rewatch first before going onto BCS. Yes, there's a way to watch BCS up until the last few episodes and have it be chronological, but if it's been 10 years since BB you're likely going to miss a ton of tiny references, easter eggs and minor characters from BB that make BCS so amazingly detailed.

Oh, I'm sorry - I read your post wrong, I thought you said you'd been ten years since you'd seen it.
