We don't know anything to the extent of how he got where he is, how he developed all the various connections he has (many only alluded to off screen) or what kind of hijinks he got up to before and during Breaking Bad.
I really don't see how it can. Unless there is going to be some serious post-BB revelations the arc of the character from episode one up to the start of BB is inherently limited. It can be well acted and well written but we know who this character will be in six years or so. Just let it be what it is and don't put that kind of burden on it.
I think this show has the benefit of the fact that Saul was never a character that was fully developed in Breaking Bad. There are a lot of holes to his backstory that can be easily filled without conflicting with anything established in Breaking Bad. Too often you run into problems with a prequel where too much information is already known, established characters are never put in any serious danger due to knowing they live, or things having to be retconned to make the show feasible. Better Call Saul has a fairly clean slate to work with.
Sadly I don't make the ratings or what people watch but yes.
That's a Tarus Judge. It chambers a .45 long colt or a 410 shotgun shell.
This is actually something of dilemma. I mean on the one hand Breaking Bad was absolutely glorious, so the answer should be yes of course. On the other, I don't think anyone should expect the two shows to be identical, so just because you like BCS so far doesn't mean you'll necessarily like BB. The later was a slow road to a dark place for the main character. BCS is about the growth of the character who was the original series' comedic respite from it's heavier nature. So they're going to be quite different.
