Better Call Saul
Putting the "criminal" in "criminal lawyer."
Created by Vince Gilligan, Peter Gould
On AMC
A meticulously crafted tragedy tracking a man's moral descent into criminality, balancing dark comedy with genuine pathos across a closed, novelistic arc.
Six years before Saul Goodman meets Walter White. We meet him when the man who will become Saul Goodman is known as Jimmy McGill, a small-time lawyer searching for his destiny, and, more immediately, hustling to make ends meet. Working alongside, and, often, against Jimmy, is “fixer” Mike Ehrmantraut. The series tracks Jimmy’s transformation into Saul Goodman, the man who puts “criminal” in “criminal lawyer".
