What's the Story?

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".

Content Ratings

What's in the title & why it matters

Language Heavy

4/5

Strong language is used sparingly. Each season contains some uses of "damn," "a_s," "a_shole," and "sh_t," along with occasional uses of "b_tch," "prick," and "d_ck." "F_ck" is typically used three or four times per season.

Drinking, Drugs & Smoking Moderate

3/5

Drug use is infrequent overall, though some scenes are strong. Season 6 frequently references hard drugs, though they are mostly not shown directly, aside from fake bags of cocaine used to frame someone. One scene shows people high, and a montage depicts a group of drunk men drinking.

Violence & Scariness Moderate

3/5

The first three seasons contain infrequent violence, mostly punches and shootings with little blood, including one scene where a man's arm is shot with blood splattering against a wall. Seasons 4 through 6 increase the violence, with shootouts producing more blood, including a stomach shot that splatters blood across the camera and a neck shot with some blood splatter.

Sex, Romance & Nudity Mild

2/5

The show contains no nudity and one sex scene, brief and non-explicit. Kim is shown having sex with a man, with moaning, bed creaking, and movement implied but nothing graphic shown.
