Once a powerful lawyer, Billy McBride is now burned out and washed up, spending more time in a bar than a courtroom. When he reluctantly agrees to pursue a wrongful death lawsuit against the biggest client of Cooperman & McBride, the massive law firm he helped create, Billy and his ragtag team uncover a vast and deadly conspiracy, pitting them all in a life or death trial against the ultimate Goliath.
If you're on the hunt for a new television series to become thoroughly engrossed in, look no further than Better Call Saul. This American legal crime drama is not only part of the acclaimed Breaking Bad franchise but also stands strong as an outstanding show in its own right.
The story follows Jimmy McGill (Bob Odenkirk), a small-time lawyer hustling to make ends meet while searching for his destiny. As we watch Jimmy's evolution from an ambitious attorney to the notorious criminal lawyer known as Saul Goodman, we are drawn into a world of crime, drama, and incredibly complex characters.
Alongside Jimmy is 'fixer' Mike Ehrmantraut (Jonathan Banks), a former corrupt police officer turned enforcer for drug traffickers. One cannot overlook other key players like Kim Wexler (Rhea Seehorn), Jimmy's romantic interest; Nacho Varga (Michael Mando), a drug dealer; or Gus Fring (Giancarlo Esposito), a ruthless drug lord. Each character brings their unique flavor to this intricate web spun by creators Vince Gilligan and Peter Gould.
