He wasn't always Saul Goodman, ace attorney for chemist-turned-meth dealer Walter White. Six years before he begins to represent Albuquerque's most notorious criminal, Goodman is Jimmy McGill, a small-time attorney hustling to make a name for himself. He's a forceful champion for his low-income clients, an underdog whose morals and ambitions often clash. Jimmy works with private eye Mike Ehrmantraut, a former Philadelphia cop and recent transplant to the Southwest. Mike has a specialized skill set -- he's a "fixer" of sticky situations -- that Jimmy soon learns to appreciate.

It's not a slight to the cast, however, to point out that some of the very best moments for these supporting players have as much-if not more-to do with the staging as with the delivery of dialogue. Go to Full Review
Rob Sheffield Rolling Stone 06/27/2017
In its masterful third season, it really broke free from the shadow of its predecessor, as Bob Odenkirk added new dimensions of slime and shame to his portrayal of hustling lawyer Slippin' Jimmy McGill. Go to Full Review

Better Call Saul is a show about how we become agents of our own destruction, in large part because of where we choose to store our treasure, which is to say, find our meaning. Go to Full Review

I liked how the show answered Chuck's recording of Jimmy being admissible in court. That made sense. Go to Full Review

Donald D @Don23 Jan 25 It’s steady excellence all the way through from series to series so far. See more 21 - Priyan B @Priyan Dec 21 First five episodes were so peak but then it moved slower but overall a great season. Rating: 8.8/10 See more Marco L @decatur555 Dec 7 Better Call Saul can’t quite match Breaking Bad’s bursts of adrenaline, and that shadow is always there. Instead, it plays a slower, more patient game, leaning into silences, small choices and moral grey zones. Watching Jimmy McGill slowly slide into Saul Goodman is both fascinating and painful: you understand why he does what he does, even when you’d like him to stop. The show shines in its characters: Kim grows from "the girlfriend" into a brilliant, conflicted force of her own, and Mike is the weary counterpoint who’s already made peace with the life he leads. Visually, it keeps the trademark style of this universe – bold compositions, desert light, and details that tell the story without a word. It may not be as explosive as Breaking Bad, but it’s more intimate and quietly devastating. By the end, it feels like you’re saying goodbye to people you actually know, and that sticks with you.

Del mundo See more Saul G. @SaulG0onMan Sep 28 Season 3 is a pivotal turning point, as the show more directly connects to the events and characters of Breaking Bad. The introduction of Gus Fring and the further development of Mike's relationship with him signal the show's move into higher-stakes crime drama. The climax of the Jimmy and Chuck storyline, particularly the courtroom drama, is a series highlight. See more Ted B @Movieaddicted Aug 16 5.0 stars; Well, after two Seasons, my expectation was that it was time for the sophomore jinx to set in. Shows what I know. This was the best Season yet. The acting stayed at an excellent level, and as one of the reviewers pointed out, the staging just keeps getting better. I really love the way they work emotional scenes without turning them into a soap opera. Now, I have high expectations for Season 4. I just don't know how it can get any better, but I know I'll be surprised. See more Read all reviews
