Saul Goodman

Hey there everybody,

Today I have decided to talk about our protagonist’s crooked lawyer, Saul Goodman.  ‘’Better Call Saul” says his TV ad, which is a bad sign for a lawyer.  However, being criminals Saul is a perfect match for Walter White and Jesse Pinkman.  As an awesome actor, and a really awesome character, Saul Goodman has added a lot of value to the overall show with both comedy and criminality.

                Walt and Jesse first contact Goodman for his services after becoming their own distributors of the blue meth.  Badger is hit by an undercover cop while selling the product, and Walt and Jesse know they must do something quick.  So they call Saul.  The new lawyer meets with Badger and informs him to turn in ‘Hesseinburg’ but not Walt.  Sounding like a lazy idea, we viewers are put on edge.  However Goodman’s plan unveils and it’s a smart one as well.   After giving a  description of Hesseinburg, Badger is let free, but what about Walt?  Saul hires a man who enjoys going to jail to take the bail for them, and the team of meth dealers is again safe thanks to Saul Goodman.

                My favorite thing Saul does is in the third season.  Skylar and Saul are at each other’s throats about where Walt should launder his money.  Eventually once things start to boil up with Gail and Gus, Saul’s character really shows through.  He goes up against the kingpin of the southwest, showing that he actually does care about Jesse and Walt.  After hiding out in a lazer tag business, Saul helps cover up and plan with the two protagonists to lead up to one of the best episodes of the entire series.

Keep watching!

Thanks!
