Breaking Bad follows protagonist Walter White (Bryan Cranston), a chemistry teacher who lives in New Mexico with his wife (Anna Gunn) and teenage son (RJ Mitte) who has cerebral palsy. White is diagnosed with Stage III cancer and given a prognosis of two years left to live. With a new sense of fearlessness based on his medical prognosis, and a desire to secure his family's financial security, White chooses to enter a dangerous world of drugs and crime and ascends to power in the world. The series explores how a fatal diagnosis such as White's releases a typical man from the daily concerns and constraints of normal society and follows his transformation from mild family man to a kingpin of the drug trade.
Better Call Saul is the prequel to the award-winning series Breaking Bad, set six years before Saul Goodman (Bob Odenkirk) became Walter White's lawyer. When we meet him, 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 Erhmantraut (Jonathan Banks), a beloved character introduced in Breaking Bad. The series will track Jimmy's transformation into Saul Goodman, the man who puts "criminal" in "criminal lawyer."

He was too proud to admit he needed someone to have his back like that immediately. Like when he went to that other lawyer believing he planned it out right. Probably what got him killed in the end if he hadn’t had that encounter with Walter.

[@prestowitch]

“i can’t believe there’s like over a billion people on this planet, and the only person i have to talk about this to is you”. what did jimmy mean by this exactly? is he simply saying he’s alone in this or is he saying mike was no help to him in that conversation?

[@jbern2185]

Yeah, saul/jimmy seemed like he was really tortured with the whole saga. Mike knew how to check his feeling and didn't care to be Sauls therapist about it any longer.

[@MICROKNIGHT3000]

Its a honest expression from Jimmy. Itxs like he is this helpess and the only person he can talk about it is somebody as stoic and serious as Mike. Inmagine you are in a desperate situation and the only person who u can talk to it is not Mike, but somebody with similar personality. We dont get to appreciate that until much later but right now. Whats Mike saying isnt something he wants to hear.

[@alainportant6412]

@@MICROKNIGHT3000 That was not wholesome from Jimmy. Even in the last Breakind Bad episodes when he's down there with Walter waiting for his new life, he can't even open up to Walt about his regrets and just tells some stupid slip'n'fall anecdote.

[@martincamacho2444]

In hindsight after Walter killed, Mike Saul should’ve left and fled

[@Maikyl.]

Bagman is the best episode this duo have

[@ReMattch]

Every one of these scenes, Mike says in one way or another for Jimmy to move on. At any point if Jimmy actually listened to that man for a second, literally nothing moving forward would be possible. This entire story is a lit fuse and Jimmy constantly keeps it from getting snuffed out. As he says in the end "Walter White couldn't have done it without me" We basically got the frame story to Breaking Bad.

[@MARK111174]

Nacho is not Cho man, never caught that

[@martincamacho2444]

Why? I'm sure Jimmy knows Mike is trying to help him but look how different they are in terms of processing things. In fairness an assassin for a cartel boss isn't exactly great therapy That's why Jimmy specifically asked how long it will take someone like him to process it. Mike's is already over it. It was still good advice Mike gave him but I'm sure that's the end of Mike talking to him about it. Can you imagine calling Mike at midnight and being like "hey this is messing with me"? At best you'd hear "get over it..click" lol. Yet Mike waged a war when a civilian was killed after something he did
