In 2008, a divine drama was born.
The terminally ill middle-aged uncle, in order to let his family live a good life after death, decided to use his chemical expertise to take risks.
From producing the purest baby powder in the city in an RV, to embarking on this road of no return and becoming the biggest drug lord in New Mexico, USA...
No one expected that this drama, which was rejected by Fox and HBO stations back then, won the award softly after it was broadcast.
won the Guinness Award from Emmy and became the "No. 1 American Drama" for many drama fans.
There is a banquet in the world, and no matter how good the drama is, it can't escape the fate of being ended.
In order to take care of the reluctant and sad emotions of drama fans;
What's more, the producer is not willing to give up such a cash cow easily, and the derivative drama was born as a matter of course.
In 2015, ghost screenwriter Vince Gillegan returned with another work, which is a spin-off of "Breaking Bad", which has been named the first masterpiece in recent years by thousands of drama fans-
"Coquettish Lawyer"
Better Call Saul
Really super five-star recommendation!
A total of six seasons have been released, and the word-of-mouth of the whole network has exploded.
At present, Douban has a score of 9.3-9.7, and IMDb is also as high as 9.0 points.
Nowadays, drama creation is becoming more and more fast-paced.
However, "Coquettish Lawyer" inherits the characteristics of "Breaking Bad", which is anti-pop, anti-hero, anti-traditional, and anti-genre.
Its story is so simple that one sentence is enough to sum it up:
How Jimmy, a street gangster, became the opposite of what he hoped he wanted, the story of Saul Goodman.
It takes six seasons and a total of 63 episodes to tell the story of a character's self-transformation.
Jimmy, the lawyer, struggles with the fight between good and evil for five seasons alone.
Therefore, it is not a drama that caters to the audience, this slow and necessary narrative method, and the detailed shooting technique, are themselves selecting the audience.
Although it has the aura and filter of a poisoner, the excitement of this drama is not just a prequel to the drama.
Even if you haven't watched Poison, it won't affect you from watching this show.
The story of "Coquettish Lawyer" takes place in 2002, that is, 6 years before the story of the poisoner.
Saul Goodman, a superb lawyer who has not been ruined by Lao Bai and ran away anonymously, is still a stunned young lawyer who has just started.
At this time, he was just Jimmy McGill with street smarts and angry everywhere.
At this time, he had been in prison, had committed crimes, had no proper employment, and only had a correspondence law degree from which pheasant university he did not know.
At this time, he had to look at people's faces when he drank a cup of cucumber water, and he had to go to the men's toilet to practice before going to court to defend himself.
At this time, he also wanted to be a lawyer like his brother Chuck.
Chuck graduated from an Ivy League school and founded a well-known law firm, HHM, and is the number one person in the legal industry.
As the elder brother of the elite, he knows Jimmy's mind and wild ways too well.
Chuck has a strange illness - he is allergic to electromagnetism, and during this time Jimmy is responsible for taking care of Chuck's daily life.
Anyone who has watched the drama should know that this disease really torments caregivers, and without general patience, it is estimated that they want to take care of them for two days and quit their work.
A lot of details in the show show that the dead mother and divorced wife prefer Jimmy, who is unlearned in Chuck's eyes.
For Chuck, who represents the elite, he is a law that will never allow the indiscriminate means to pollute justice.
To put it nicely, he is upholding the justice of the law, and to put it badly, he wants to prove Jimmy's inferiority.
Therefore, when Jimmy took the test three times and finally got a correspondence diploma, he got Chuck's merciless ridicule:
University of American Samoa, my God, what's the joke? I have today, how much effort has been put in, do you think you can be on an equal footing with me by taking a shortcut?
Jimmy, who was embarrassed at every turn, left his brother's big law firm.
He rented an office in the depths of the beauty shop and embarked on the road of independent work, but the whole career was extremely difficult.
As the saying goes, the road is dead, but the man is alive.
Jimmy has two secret weapons, a clever mouth, and crooked methods.
In order to attract customers, he writes and directs fake news;
Hype yourself as a heroic lawyer who sacrifices himself to save others, and advertises himself for free.
There is no business, he takes the initiative!
Go to the nursing home to fool the elderly with snacks and games, create a good image of yourself enthusiastic and responsible, and promote your own will business by the way.
With a keen sense of smell, he discovered the corruption case in the nursing home.
In order to successfully win the class action lawsuit, he hid in the toilet to write a lawyer's letter, and went to the foul-smelling trash can to find relevant evidence.
However, the case that was finally managed was cut off by the barrister.
Poisoners and lawyers are small people who have worked hard from the beginning to become industry legends in their respective fields.
However, the approach to the two is very different.
If the poisoner is a crime drama of criminal smuggling and gang fighting;
Then the lawyer is a lawyer who relies on his own indiscriminate means to kill an evil way.
When Jimmy's bad reputation is ridiculed by elite lawyers, there is one person who stays with her - Kim.
Kim is an independent, capable lawyer with ambitions and goals, and she wants to be a good lawyer at HHM Law Firm.
At first, she insisted on procedural justice and disagreed with Jimmy's outcome justice.
