Shows that feel likeBetter Call Saul (2015–2022)

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".

If you loved Better Call Saul, the closest series we have are Breaking Bad (2008), Fargo (2014) and Pluribus (2025). All three share Better Call Saul's contemplative and darkly funny feel, which is what we rank on before quality.

Seen the big three already? The under-the-radar pick below is Queen Charlotte: A Bridgerton Story (2023).
