Despite the tremendous critical success of Vince Gilligan's dark drama Breaking Bad, few would've guessed as much for the subsequent prequel series Better Call Saul. The sleazy criminal lawyer, Saul Goodman , was little more than comic relief during his run as a side character on Breaking Bad. But the slow-burning development of Better Call Saul over the first five seasons has turned it into a beloved success story of its own.
RELATED: 'Better Call Saul': Rhea Seehorn on Season 5's Best Scenes, and What They Taught Her About Kim In the Season 2 premiere, “Switch,” Kim pleads with Jimmy to reconsider an offer to work at the prestigious law firm, Davis & Main. Her argument falls on deaf ears with Jimmy, who instead convinces her to sit and have a drink with him at a hotel bar. It's there where we first meet Ken , the stockbroker bro who some years later would annoy Walter White enough to get his car torched.
In “Wiedersehen,” they pull a fast one on a sweet old bureaucrat in Texas to switch out approved plans for a new, Mesa Verde bank branch for plans with different dimensions. Not only is this dangerous to Kim's career and reputation as a lawyer, but Jimmy was nearly done with his one-year hiatus from practicing law. Her stunt could've cost him his career, had they been caught.
