Better Call Saul (2015)

Better Call Saul is a 2015 crime series created by Vince Gilligan and Peter Gould. It stars Bob Odenkirk, Jonathan Banks and Rhea Seehorn.

Before he was Saul Goodman, he was Jimmy McGill, a fast-talking Albuquerque lawyer running his practice out of a nail-salon back room and chasing respect he cannot quite earn. His brother Chuck, a legal legend, doubts him. A colleague named Kim Wexler believes in him, which may be the tragedy. Vince Gilligan and Peter Gould trace the slow slide from likable hustler to the criminal lawyer who will one day defend Walter White, alongside fixer Mike Ehrmantraut's own descent. Bob Odenkirk and Rhea Seehorn turn a Breaking Bad footnote into one of television's saddest character studies.

Better Call Saul in our writing

A few thoughts on Better Call Saul

Breaking Bad is the obvious next stop, the story this prequel is quietly walking toward. Fargo shares its Midwestern crime and moral rot delivered deadpan. For the same slow corruption on the page, The Godfather charts a decent man's descent into the family business one compromise at a time.

Lawyers who bend the rules until the rules bend back

Jimmy McGill's courtroom instincts always run a half-step ahead of his ethics, and this set follows lawyers who make the same trade. The Lincoln Lawyer and Perry Mason work cases from the margins of respectable practice, Damages and Goliath turn litigation into a blood sport, and Your Honor and Daredevil: Born Again show what happens once a legal mind starts justifying the wrong call.

Good men sliding into the criminals they swore they'd never be

Jimmy McGill's slide from struggling lawyer to Saul Goodman happens in inches, not one big leap, and these six trace that same slow corruption. Animal Kingdom and Griselda watch families get swallowed by the business, Mr Inbetween and Sneaky Pete build ordinary routines around violence and lies, and The Penguin and Tulsa King let a likable rogue talk his way deeper into the life.

Games built on moral choices instead of shootouts

Better Call Saul spends most of its runtime on conversation and consequence rather than action, and these four games work the same muscle. Disco Elysium hands you a broken detective rebuilding his own identity through dialogue alone, The Wolf Among Us and Detroit: Become Human weigh every choice against who you're willing to become, and Max Payne wraps its noir guilt around a body count.
