Better Call Saul Season 1
Overview
Better Call Saul Season 1 is the first season of the critically acclaimed Breaking Bad prequel, following Jimmy McGill (Bob Odenkirk), a small-time, struggling lawyer in Albuquerque, New Mexico, six years before he becomes the "criminal lawyer" Saul Goodman. Jimmy is a former con artist trying to go straight. He works out of a back room in a nail salon, takes court-appointed cases for low fees, and desperately wants the respect of his older brother Chuck (Michael McKean), a brilliant but mentally ill partner at a prestigious law firm. Chuck secretly sabotages Jimmy's career, believing his brother is incapable of being a real lawyer. The season also introduces Mike Ehrmantraut (Jonathan Banks), a former corrupt cop who becomes a fixer, and Kim Wexler (Rhea Seehorn), a smart, ambitious lawyer who becomes Jimmy's love interest. The first season ends with Jimmy discovering Chuck's betrayal and confronting him. Better Call Saul Season 1 is a slow-burn, character-driven masterpiece.
