Gould added that Jimmy McGill is a character that he loves and roots for and it really makes him a little sad and worried to see how he is going to evolve into a totally different person, which is inevitable anyway considering that “Better Call Saul” is the prequel of “Breaking Bad.”
Bob Odenkirk, however, believes that fans of the show will remember more his character Jimmy McGill rather than his villainous transformation to Saul Goodman. He said that as time goes by, viewers will no longer see Saul Goodman in the character, but Jimmy McGill playing Saul Goodman.
It remains to be seen if fans of the show will take the transformation of Jimmy McGill positively and make Season 2 the success that Season 1 was or altogether stop watching the show because Saul Goodman has taken over the character.
However, the transition of Jimmy into Saul will not be immediate. There will be a lot of things happening first before he evolves into his alter-ego.
Set in 2002, “Better Call Saul” is the story of Jimmy McGill, some six years before his appearance as Saul Goodman in “Breaking Bad.” Although a spinoff series, events after the original series are also briefly explored.
