Why it’s a Friday Night Flick
Audiences adore it (8.7/10), people are still talking about it and it held its audience for several seasons. Make plans for this one.
Our take: A spin-off that many fans rate as highly as Breaking Bad: a patient, tragic character study of a small-time lawyer.

Six years before Saul Goodman meets Walter White. We meet him when the man who will become Saul Goodman is known as Jimmy McGill, a small-time lawyer searching for his destiny, and, more immediately, hustling to make ends meet. Working alongside, and, often, against Jimmy, is “fixer” Mike Ehrmantraut. The series tracks Jimmy’s transformation into Saul Goodman, the man who puts “criminal” in “criminal lawyer".
