BETTER CALL SAUL, NETFLIX

A PREQUEL to the acclaimed crime drama Breaking Bad with its unforgettable lawyer Saul Goodman, this multi-award-winning show stands on its own as one of the best crime series on television — and a big part of its success is down to Bob Odenkirk as Saul (pictured). The actor — who actually started his career as a comedy writer — has been nominated for four Emmys for a mesmerising performance that pulls you in from his first scene. Although, when we first meet him, he’s Jimmy McGill — an ex-low life who worked the hard way at night school to become a lawyer and impress his hot-shot big brother. While McGill tries to stay on the right side of the law, he’s always getting into trouble, and it’s in that tension — of his character being pulled this way and that — that the fascination of the show lies. The final series starts on Netflix today, as Jimmy takes his remaining steps to becoming the Saul Goodman of Breaking Bad — and there are five previous seasons to catch up on if you’re new to it all.
