BETTER CALL SAUL: SEASON ONE

RELEASE DATE: 02/09/15 FORMAT: BD/DVD/UV Putting the ‘criminal’ in criminal attorney

How do you follow up a brilliant piece of television like Breaking Bad ? Creator Vince Gilligan has given Walter White’s shonky lawyer Saul Goodman (Bob Odenkirk) his own spin-off series, set six years before his dealings with Walt and featuring some other familiar faces who will become peripheral players in BB . An origin story, Better Call Saul reveals how small time Albuquerque public defender and con-man Jimmy

McGill becomes the man you better call. Mentored by his brother Chuck (Michael McKean), a former high profile lawyer, Jimmy’s ambition is to rise above his reputation as “the kind of lawyer guilty people hire”. Saul added some welcome levity to Breaking Bad and once again Odenkirk is a delight to watch, but his solo show is no sitcom; Gilligan and co-creator Peter Gould have delivered another dark-hued and compelling character study.
