Everyone knows that when you’re looking for the perfect weekend TV show to binge, that Netflix is the best place to look.
Everyone also knows that Bryan Cranston being in anything is a surefire way to know that you’re in for a treat.
So combined – the five best Bryan Cranston shows on Netflix should be the cream of the crop… right?
Well we’re here to find that out, by looking at the best five Bryan Cranston shows on Netflix right now.

To avoid arguing all day long about which is the best of the five, this isn’t ranked (before you yell at me).
If your favourite Bryan Cranston TV show is left off the list… too bad! These are the five best and you'll just have to deal with that.
Breaking Bad
I mean. Obviously. Whilst the list isn’t ranked – I think it’s safe to say if it was, Breaking Bad would comfortably be top.
Advert
That’s because the show, which solidified Cranston as an all timer actor for many of us, is considered by many to be the greatest of all time.
Unless one of you can find a secret cameo by Cranston in The Sopranos or The Wire, this has a pretty unavoidable place at the top of this list.
Your Honor
Maybe not as well known as Breaking Bad, Your Honour has been a mainstay in the Netflix top 10 charts since it was added in late May.
Advert
Following Cranston as a judge whose morality is tested when his son is involved in a hit and run accident – the show has been a massive hit with fans.
Whilst Cranston hasn’t entirely ruled out a third season – there wasn’t even initially supposed to be a third – the chances are slim, so binge and appreciate what we’ve got.
How I Met Your Mother

“Sorry, what?” Yep, for those not in the know – How I Met Your Mother doesn’t just have a cameo from Bryan Cranston, the Breaking Bad man appeared in three episodes over the course of a massive seven years.

The actor starred as Hammond Druthers – the main character Ted’s boss, an architect who is blissfully unaware for his propensity to make phallic buildings.
He may have only appeared in a few episodes, but he stole the show every time – and they are well worth a watch for Cranston fans.
Better Call Saul
The Breaking Bad spin-off starring Saul Goodman, the criminal lawyer who helped Walt and Gus get away with all their crimes, is a vastly underrated show.
Advert
Appearing in flashbacks as Walt aka Heisenberg – Cranston returned to the character that he is now immortalised as.
For Breaking Bad fans – this and El Camino are the perfect next watch.
Seinfeld
Again. “Huh?”
Before starring in Malcolm in the Middle (sorry guys, it isn’t on Netflix), Cranston played Dr Tim Whatley on Seinfeld.
Appearing in five episodes of what many consider to be the best sit-com of all time, it paved the way for Cranston to become one of the premiere actors of this generation.
