Better Call Saul (AMC – 2015-Present )
The creators of Breaking Bad took a massive gamble making a prequel spin-off to one of television’s most beloved and acclaimed series. The resulting origin story of fan favorite character Saul Goodman has been a more than worthy addition to the canon. But long before he was Saul, he was former con man and struggling attorney Jimmy McGill, constantly straddling the line of morality and frequently bending the rules as he sees fit.
Better Call Saul, besides being an excellent piece of fan service, has been an amazing showcase for its lead actor. Bob Odenkirk is fantastic in his trademark role, bringing a pathos and nuance to Jimmy/Saul that none of us could have ever expected. We all may know that his journey ends with him ultimately becoming Albuquerque’s #1 “criminal lawyer”. But his path getting there has been mesmerizing television regardless.
