Better Call Saul (2015)
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".

What critics compared Better Call Saul to
Whether intentional or by happy accident, the latest Looney Tunes pic also has some comedic parallels toBetter Call Saul, what with the scrappy Albuquerque law firm, its over-the-top advertisements, and dramatic desert showdowns.
And also a satisfactory Better Call Saul shout-out. Or maybe all law offices in Albuquerque just look that way.
“Better Call Saul” fans will surely love that the film is set in Albuquerque, apparently a haven for cheapo lawyers…
The Albuquerque lawyer is a sly allusion to both Breaking Bad and Better Call Saul, but is mostly an opportunity for the movie to offer its own take on the classic Bugs Bunny line, “I must have taken a wrong toin at Alberquoike!”
Near-perfect prequel Better Call Saul’s characters hardly ever left Albuquerque, but the rarely overlapping lawyer and cartel sides of the series kept each sphere feeling fresh.
