    He wasn't always Saul Goodman, ace attorney for chemist-turned-meth dealer Walter White. Six years before he begins to represent Albuquerque's most notorious criminal, Goodman is Jimmy McGill, a small-time attorney hustling to make a name for himself. He's a forceful champion for his low-income clients, an underdog whose morals and ambitions often clash. Jimmy works with private eye Mike Ehrmantraut, a former Philadelphia cop and recent transplant to the Southwest. Mike has a specialized skill set -- he's a "fixer" of sticky situations -- that Jimmy soon learns to appreciate.
    Better Call Saul stars Bob Odenkirk as Jimmy McGill / Saul Goodman, Jonathan Banks as Mike Ehrmantraut, Rhea Seehorn as Kim Wexler, Patrick Fabian as Howard Hamlin, Michael Mando as Nacho Varga, Michael McKean as Chuck McGill, Giancarlo Esposito as Gus Fring, Tony Dalton as Lalo Salamanca, Kerry Condon as Stacey Ehrmantraut, Peter Diseth as Bill Oakley, Dennis Boutsikaris as Rich Schweikart, Mark Proksch as Daniel "Pryce" Wormald, Brandon K.

      It’s even MORE than that though, which is insane. Jimmy/Saul/Gene was facing a life sentence and 180/190 (I can’t remember the exact number) years for all of his crimes! But he knew the prosecution’s biggest fear - his charm being able to convince at least one juror, causing the jury to become deadlocked and causing a mistrial. The prosecution didn’t want this to happen, because they wanted to put this awful criminal away for all of his crimes, so they were willing to take a deal. It’s honestly incredible, thinking about what Chuck felt about Jimmy - “you’re not a real lawyer”. At the end of the day, Jimmy was able to do something that Chuck never could - negotiating a life sentence + 190 years down to 7.5 years.
      Jimmy truly was one of the best lawyers to be seen, even if he got his degree from some “University of American Samoa”.
      This show is literally incredible!

      I couldn't agree more. The fact that they made it in such a dry way with no crazy sound in the background or with no build up at all makes it horrendously great. You are just left there feeling kind of bad for Howard, having to deal with his stained image and with his depression, and you have no idea that the suffering of that man is just about to end, perhaps good for him but definitely terrifying for the spectator. Such a great scene though, directed with the perfection of the whole series and of Breaking Bad.

I'm on the team of people who praise BCS more than BB because it's more polished overall and got me more entertainmed and less bored. But it reaaaally depends on your particular taste.

    One thing I see a lot of people say that I cant help but disagree with is that he absolves kim of her involvement in Howards death. My interpretation was that he hears she confesses and then realizes what he has to do, so he tells the government she was more involved in the death than reality so it compels her to come to the court room, then he says what he told them was just bullshit to get her there but everything she confessed to still exists. She is still open to a civil suit and she still gave her confession of being involved and she without a doubt had a hand in it. Jimmy just acknowledged that she left and tried to better herself and that he couldnt.

    • @timelapsega
      @timelapsega ปีที่แล้ว +15

      I took it as him unburdening himself/setting himself free and simultaneously taking away part of Kim's emotional burden and showing her that Jimmy was still in there, since there was absolutely no sign of him the last time she saw him. We've seen her face the consequences of his actions before while he got away unscathed, like when she was punished for losing the Kettlemens or when she ended up in dock review because of what he did with the commercial at Davis & Main.

If he was a little supportive of Jimmy, he couldve been a really good and relatively harmless Elder Law specialist. Instead, chucks constant disapproval and undermining of Jimmy started the slipper slope that became BCS and BB

      This video doesn't at all get into the flashback scenes that set up the fact that Jimmy was, at least partially, responsible for their father's shop going out of business, something that led to his death. Remember that Chuck doesn't just accuse Jimmy of stealing from the register- he actually did it, and we have no reason to believe just once.
      That's not to say that Jimmy was morally culpable at that point- he was a child, still developing his own sense of right and wrong. But Jimmy pretty consistently worked as a petty criminal UNTIL he became a lawyer. Was Chuck right to continue holding a grudge? Obviously not. But Chuck wasn't simply and wholly awful. He acted awfully to his brother, but there's real emotional pain and setup for the why. And it's not as if Jimmy was good to him, either- not all the time.
      Because let's not forget- Jimmy looked after Chuck, yes, but Chuck, before that point, had also been looking after Jimmy for years by representing him when he got into trouble. Family is complicated. Their relationship was broken beyond repair.

      Because he was, as Kim put it, a sick man who was consumed by envy and resentment over his charismatic brother.
      Even though Chucks last words with Jimmy were absolutely awful, you just know he sabotaged himself by breaking the only meaningful relationship he had left.
      Chuck was not a good brother, but damn did I felt every emotion in a single character.

    As great as this series is and as good as the creators are I find one unfathomable plot hole that really sticks in my craw. All the precautions taken to keep the super lab a secret then Gus introduces himself as "Gus Fring" when meeting the German engineers. I cannot believe no one in the writers room stopped this travesty. It needs to be edited out in reruns, any airings or digital releases.

    • @Xpwnxage

    • @fictionnerd78
      @fictionnerd78 4 หลายเดือนก่อน

      I get where you’re coming from and that is an entirely reasonable and logical point to raise, however, the German engineers were being supervised 24/7 by Gus’s own people and had no ability to communicate with the outside world, so I sincerely doubt Gus would have any reason to believe that revealing his name would be of issue because there’s just no chance of that information being leaked.

At the hearing, he recanted his lies about her involvement. But he couldn’t do anything about her confession, or make it less likely that Cheryl Hamlin would sue her.
