Created by Vince Gilligan and Peter Gould, the show is a prequel to the hit series Breaking Bad, and follows the story of Jimmy McGill, a struggling lawyer who later becomes the infamous Saul Goodman. In this review, we'll discuss the show's story, visuals, sound, characters, and overall enjoyment.
