Better Call Saul (2015)

Synopsis

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".

BingeNext's take

If you’re into crime dramas with a strong character focus, Better Call Saul is a great pick, especially if you like stories about how people change over time. The show follows Jimmy McGill, a small-time lawyer hustling to find his place, before he becomes the slick, morally flexible Saul Goodman you might know. It’s a slow burn that really lets you get to know the characters, with Bob Odenkirk leading the cast and Jonathan Banks adding depth as Mike Ehrmantraut. Watching it feels like peeling back layers of a complex person, with plenty of tension and moments that make you think about right and wrong. If you enjoyed shows like The Lincoln Lawyer or Tulsa King, this one will fit right in. It’s perfect for when you want something smart and gripping but also personal, with six seasons to keep you hooked.
