Better Call Saul: 10 WORST Things Jimmy Has Done

Jimmy’s entire life is into his work as a lawyer, but his very work is destructive to law itself.

Once he regained his license back, Jimmy, now operating as Saul, dives into the criminal underground to find his best clients. With big displays as free phones and 50% off non-violent felonies, Saul’s methods to please his clientele essentially gives them a “free pass” when it comes to crime.

He encourages criminals to spread the word of his service and advises them on how to hide their crimes better rather than stopping them. Spouting off legal loopholes and boasting extreme stretches of the truth, Saul brings himself down to a criminal level to gain the offenders’ trust and reduce their sentence down to the bare minimum.

This often prevents the innocents who have been harmed their sense of justice and gives the criminals a mere slap on the wrist without ever stopping their criminal ways.

Over time, Saul’s actions add up to a huge stain on his character. While as the audience revel in seeing Saul succeed in his career after all of his setbacks, it’s dampened by realising he’s using his talents to help petty criminals and cartel members to get away with vicious crime, rather than making actual good.

It’s clear by this point Saul cares more about money and counting up his many wins, rather than realising the consequences it leads to.
