How long does it take to watch Better Call Saul?

How long to watch Better Call Saul
about 50 hours
63 episodes across 6 seasons

Better Call Saul ran one episode longer than the show it was spun off from, which is unusual — prequels are normally shorter and worse. Its episodes vary more widely than Breaking Bad's, from 41 minutes to a 69-minute finale, because AMC stopped enforcing a fixed length as the show went on. Watched back to back with Breaking Bad and El Camino the whole Gilligan continuity comes to about 101 hours. The two shows overlap in time rather than running in sequence, which is why "what order do I watch them in" is a genuinely contested question rather than an obvious one.
