With a painful past burdening him and the betrayal of the people closest to him on his thoughts, Jimmy is expected to start heading toward the shadows of the law where truth are all lies and every trial comes with a price.
It would be his history and his current situation that would combine and contribute to his eventual transformation as Saul Goodman.
In a recent interview, Bob Odenkirk said that he and the production team of “Better Call Saul” are not pressured at all to be at par or surpass the accomplishments of their mother series “Breaking Bad.”
He said that they are just trying to make something good that has an integrity and honesty to it. While many critics are praising the perfection of “Better Call Saul” as a TV series because of the astute guidance of “Breaking Bad” creator Vince Gilligan and executive producer Peter Gould, much of the success is also due to Bob Odenkirk.
Odenkirk brings a level of humanity to Jimmy McGill as an earnest but green Albuquerque lawyer who eventually transforms into Walter White’s outspoken lawyer Saul Goodman.
During the Season 1 finale of “Better Call Saul,” there were already hints of the emergence of Saul from Jimmy as he has come to terms with the fact that he is not to be one of society’s good guys.
