"Putting the “criminal” in “criminal lawyer”"

Boxlist takeExpect a morally murky, intimate crime comedy series, grounded rather than fantastical. Best if you like close-up stories over spectacle.

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".
