Better Call Saul: Netflix, torrents and the piracy dilemma
Better Call Saul, the Breaking Bad prequel, remains one of the most acclaimed series of recent years. But its streaming availability is a maze. While Netflix offers it in its catalog, part of the audience opts for illegal downloads, often needing a VPN to bypass provider blocks.
The positions are clear. On one side, those who defend paying for the show on Netflix, citing quality and legality. On the other, those who feel the price doesn't justify the content and turn to torrents, accepting security and bicho risks. Interestingly, some viewers claim the series is even better than Breaking Bad, which fuels the interest.
The question is: how much is it really worth paying for a series when piracy is just one click away?
