Factual error: When Gus meets Mike there is a 94-00 black suburban in the background with rims from an 08-11 suburban which didn't exist at the time the episode takes place.
Factual error: When Hector and his men are in Los Pollos Hermanos there's a soda machine in the background with the current logos of the sodas when this episode took place before 2003. (00:12:33)
Factual error: The Rayovac batteries in Chuck's tape recorder use the wrong design for the time period this episode is set.

Factual error: In the mall where Jimmy meets Irene there is the Pandora logo in the background when Jimmy is going up the escalator. Pandora didn't open its first store in New Mexico until 2013. (00:27:00 - 00:28:00)
Factual error: When Mike is meeting with Lydia in her office, you can see an undeveloped hillside from Lydia's office window with sagebrush and other desert shrubs common in New Mexico. However, Lydia's office is in Houston, Texas, where such plants do not grow. Houston also does not sit in the desert, it lies in a coastal plain where it is much greener than Albuquerque.

Factual error: The shoes Jimmy gives Irene are Skechers Shape-Ups. The episode takes place in 2003 but Shape-Ups were not made until the late 2000s.
Factual error: If Chuck had shut off all the electricity, the meter would be moving imperceptibly slowly, if at all. (00:30:31 - 00:34:20)
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.
