Before Saul Goodman, he was Jimmy McGill. And if you're calling Jimmy, you're in real trouble. The prequel to "Breaking Bad" follows small-time attorney Jimmy McGill as he transforms into Walter White's morally challenged lawyer, Saul Goodman. Written by zaahir1604
OK, i appreciate it's hard to judge any new series after just one episode, but with Better Call Saul, we already have the benefit of what went before with Breaking Bad & we can instantly relate to the protagonist. As far as opening episodes go, this ticked all the boxes, it gave us just enough information to make us want to see more, & introduced Saul brilliantly.
From start to finish, we get to see how the shady lawyer from Breaking Bad came to be, from dodgy deals, to creating stress for himself, it's always been in a days work for him it seems.
Anyway for an opening episode this gets an 8 from me, but going forwards, the show looks to have enough promise to put it alongside some of the best.
