How The Godfather Influenced Breaking Bad Explained By Vince Gilligan
Breaking Bad creator Vince Gilligan explains how his show was influenced by The Godfather. The crime-drama series aired five seasons from 2008-13 and ended its run as one of the most acclaimed TV shows ever made, and Gilligan's subsequent prequel series, Better Call Saul, has received similarly high praise. The film from director Francis Ford Coppola, which is similarly rated as one of the greatest movies ever made, enjoys its 50th anniversary this year, causing it to be temporarily put back in movie theaters.
