10 TV Villains You Didn't Realise Actually Won

Better Call Saul introduces us to Saul Goodman back when he still answered to "Jimmy McGill". The show is (currently) a prequel to Breaking Bad, with some scenes occurring decades earlier and was a great excuse to expand Bob Odenkirk's wig collection.

When we meet Jimmy, he is caring for his older brother Chuck who thinks electromagnetism is out to kill him. A hugely successful lawyer before he started living by candlelight in a tinfoil jacket, he is shown to have saved his younger sibling, Slippin' Jimmy from a few scrapes in the past. However, it soon becomes clear that he is a jealous, controlling man and, horrified by the prospect of his brother achieving comparable success, Chuck essentially blocks all of Jimmy's attempts to join a top legal agency, condemning him to small-time lawyering and financial turmoil.

Upon realising this betrayal, Jimmy is set on the irrevocable course to become "Saul Goodman", ending up in witness protection and finally managing a Cinnabon; truly a fate worse than death. Sadly, it's been left unclear if Chuck regrets the decisions he made or just the fact that he needs to find someone else to fill his cool-box with bacon.

The twisted logic that Jimmy will never amount to more than being an immature conman was confirmed by Chuck himself as he callously drove him to it.
