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.

What an amazing show it has become. It now has a sense of self that puts it above almost everything else on television. Go to Full Review
Judy Berman TIME Magazine 10/10/2018
In showing us one individual's preordained moral downfall, Better Call Saul spent Season 4 demonstrating how a hypocritical criminal justice system can ensnare a whole class of people for life. Go to Full Review
Emily St. James Vox 10/10/2018
Yet I loved the way the series slowly shifted its focus so that in some ways, its true protagonist is Kim, the character who still has a chance to escape the rapidly decaying orbit Jimmy finds himself trapped in. Go to Full Review

If you've been a fan of Breaking Bad and found the official prequel nothing like the mother show, especially its titular character, well, things have been changing and changing fast. Go to Full Review

Like Wile E. Coyote pursuing the Road Runner, Jimmy McGill doesn't realize he's falling from a high cliff. Unless until he looks down. [Full review in Spanish] Go to Full Review

Donald D @Don23 3d The format remains the same excellent character development sometimes slow, sometimes punchy. See more 21 - Priyan B @Priyan Dec 27 It had pacing issues but the last 4 episodes were so intriguing. Rating: 8.3/10 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. See more Saul G. @SaulG0onMan Sep 28 Following Chuck's death, season 4 finds Jimmy at a crossroads, banned from practicing law for a year. The season is a character study of his grieving process and his further entanglement in the criminal underworld. The final, heartbreaking scene cements his transformation into the unapologetically corrupt "Saul Goodman". See more Ted B @Movieaddicted Aug 23 4.5 stars; Season 4 met every expectation of the production quality of the first three seasons. The storyline is changing from a 'master of the con' to a much darker theme, now following cartel mob activity. This season's plot line matches Jimmy's life spiral. Consequences start piling up on his cons as he learns that he is also conning himself as well as those that mean something to him. Looking forward to Season 5. See more Gareth v @geewah Aug 12 A strong, moody season that bridges the gap between Jimmy McGill and Saul Goodman, setting the stage for high-stakes drama to come. See more Read all reviews
