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 âfixerâ Mike Ehrmantraut. The series tracks Jimmyâs transformation into Saul Goodman, the man who puts âcriminalâ in âcriminal lawyer".
