What’s This TV Show About?

A Breaking Bad prequel and dark AMC comedy drama, Better Call Saul is set before Saul Goodman (Bob Odenkirk) became Walter White’s lawyer. The cast also includes Jonathan Banks, Rhea Seehorn, Patrick Fabian, Michael Mando, and Giancarlo Esposito. In the early 2000s, Saul is still down-on-his-luck Jimmy McGill. After the death of his brother Chuck (Michael McKean), in season four, Jimmy begins the transformation into Saul. As he edges into the criminal world, Jimmy risks his relationship with Kim (Seehorn), who ends up at odds with Howard (Fabian).
