Overview
Six years before Saul Goodman meets Walter White. We meet him when the man who will become Saul Goodman is known as Jimmy McGill, a small-time lawyer searching for his destiny, and, more immediately, hustling to make ends meet. Working alongside, and, often, against Jimmy, is “fixer” Mike Ehrmantraut. The series tracks Jimmy’s transformation into Saul Goodman, the man who puts “criminal” in “criminal lawyer".

Primary
The series primarily explores individual moral decay, ambition, and the complexities of the legal system, presenting a nuanced view of human nature and the consequences of choices without explicitly promoting a specific political ideology or offering a partisan solution to its central conflicts.
The series features visible diversity within its cast, with several prominent roles filled by minority actors. However, these characters are integral to the established narrative and do not represent explicit race or gender swaps of traditionally white roles. The narrative itself focuses on individual character development and moral ambiguities, without explicitly critiquing traditional identities based on race or gender.
Secondary
Better Call Saul does not feature any identifiable LGBTQ+ characters or themes. Consequently, there is no specific LGBTQ+ portrayal to evaluate within the scope of this framework, leading to an N/A rating.
The movie does not contain any action or adventure elements.
Better Call Saul is a prequel/spin-off to Breaking Bad. All returning characters from Breaking Bad maintain their established genders. New characters introduced in Better Call Saul do not have prior canonical genders to be swapped from.
