The Breaking Bad universe is an anomaly in pop culture: It's so good that even its spinoffs and sequels stand up to the original.
legal shylock from Jimmy McGill to Saul Goodman, played by Bob Odenkirk.Naturally, many of us have been rewatching the shows and movie, and not just to get caught up on the events leading up to the demise of Jimmy McGill and rise of Saul Goodman. Like all great stories, there's something at play that the eye can't catch in just one sitting. Althoughand all of its subsequent stories birthed the concept of TV bingeing, the fun is taking it all in over time, not just one sitting.
McGill was already on this path long before we're allowed to witness his character-defining moments. His younger and wilder days in Toledo, Ohio, as"Slip 'n Fall Jimmy" show just how malleable Jimmy's moral flexibility is to working a great con for a quick buck. However, he earnestly tries to learn how to trust himself, others and the system by earning an honest buck instead of a conned one, but as goes with all honest endeavors, it's pretty damn hard.
Why does Chuck do it? He and his partners ignore Jimmy's actions for purely selfish and shallow reasons. Chuck's cynicism for his brother Jimmy shapes Saul Goodman because for Jimmy, becoming Saul is the ultimate revenge for breaking his heart. It's the same reason for all of Jimmy's earliest misdeeds. No matter how Jimmy tries, he doesn't fit Chuck's mold or model for a respected attorney or man.
It also doesn't help that Jimmy is surrounded by a sea of pretention in the law business, an industry where image and prestige are often more important than results. For instance, Jimmy finally gets a straight job as a lawyer with the Davis and Main firm run by Clifford Main, played by Ed Begley Jr.
