Don’t Drink And Drive. But If You Do, Call Him

The transformation from Jimmy McGill to Saul Goodman is well on its way in the fourth season of Better Call Saul.

“Because I’m not done with Hector Salamanca.”

The Breaking Bad prequel follows Bob Odenkirk’s scene-stealer on his journey from (relatively) upstanding lawyer to legal aide of the Albuquerque underworld, and the fourth season is poised to bring his world closer than ever to Gus Fring’s (Giancarlo Esposito) criminal empire.

Better Call Saul is a grittier and may very well be even more serious than its predecessor. While other series may have taken only a season to show off the transformation of Jimmy McGill into the sleazy Saul Goodman, Better Call Saul has been almost glacial with its pacing. One of the key factors to its success.

In this latest trailer for the crime series, Saul Goodman looks like he is very nearly here:

Check out the synopsis for the season:

“In Better Call Saul‘s fourth season, Chuck’s death catalyses Jimmy McGill’s transformation into Saul Goodman. In the wake of his loss, Jimmy takes steps into the criminal world that will put his future as a lawyer — and his relationship with Kim — in jeopardy. Chuck’s death deeply affects former colleagues Howard (Patrick Fabian) and Kim as well, putting the two of them once again on opposite sides of a battle sparked by the Brothers McGill. While Mike takes a more active role as Madrigal ElectroMotive’s newest (and most thorough) security consultant. It’s a volatile time to be in Gus Fring’s employ, as Hector’s collapse sends shock waves throughout the Albuquerque underworld and throws the cartel into chaos — tearing apart both Gus and Nacho’s well-laid plans. While Gus changes course, Nacho finds himself in the crosshairs of deadly forces.”

Better Call Saul returns to AMC for its fourth season on August 6th.
