If you’re not caught up with Breaking Bad, read on with caution!
The central story of this new AMC series tells how Jimmy McGill, a scrappy, low-rent public defender in Albuquerque, N.M., came to adopt a sleazy new persona as Saul Goodman, a criminal lawyer specializing in representing unabashed criminals. If Saul were a superhero, this would be his origin story — and that’s really what this show is about, because McGill, from the start, does have a superpower. It’s his quick wit — and his fast mouth.
When we left Saul at the end of Breaking Bad he was on the run, disappearing into a new life entirely, so nothing about Saul’s future is certain, but his past is pretty clear and contained, and that’s the focus of Better Call Saul, as the series is set up as more or less of a prequel to the Walter White era revealed to us in Breaking Bad.
We met Saul Goodman on Breaking Bad when one of his many seedy advertisements inspired Jesse to call him for legal assistance. And from there, the rest is history, as Goodman’s shady resourcefulness, connections and legal background proved particularly useful at times to Walter White. But how did he become the man Walter White met in the “Better Call Saul” episode? That’s what this new series will reveal. Set six years before Saul Goodman met Walter White, Saul Goodman is going by the name Jimmy McGill, and he’s described as “a small-time lawyer searching for his destiny, and, more immediately, hustling to make ends meet.”
