What it’s about

Jimmy McGill is a small-time lawyer in Albuquerque, New Mexico, hustling to make ends meet. He works alongside and sometimes against Mike Ehrmantraut, a fixer. The series follows Jimmy's transformation into Saul Goodman, the criminal lawyer he becomes.

What hooks you

Bob Odenkirk stars as Jimmy McGill, with Jonathan Banks as Mike Ehrmantraut. The series won eight Saturn Awards, including Best Action/Thriller Television Series. The first season aired on AMC, and the show was renewed for a second season over seven months before the pilot premiered.

Director Thomas Schnauz
  1. Saul's yellow car is a Suzuki Cultus Crescent sedan, produced from 1995 to 1998. It is known as the Suzuki Esteem in the US and as the Suzuki Baleno in Europe, Asia, and Australia.
  2. In the early stages of production, the series was planned as a 30-minute comedy, but ultimately it was decided to change it to an hour-long format.
  3. The first episode of "Better Call Saul" drew an audience of 6.9 million viewers. In the entire history of the AMC channel, only the first episode of the television series "Fear the Walking Dead" (2015) has drawn a larger audience (10.1 million viewers).
  4. The AMC channel announced in June 2014 that the series had been renewed for a second season, more than 7 months before the premiere of the pilot episode.
  5. The series is set in 2002, 6 years before the events of the series "Breaking Bad" (2008-2013) and 7 years before Saul's first appearance.
  6. On his car keys, Jimmy McGill carries a keychain remarkably similar to Walter White's keychain in the «Felina» episode of «Breaking Bad» (2008-2013).
