Saul Goodman

Saul Goodman was written as comic relief for three episodes and became the centre of a six-season prequel widely judged to be better than the show that produced him. The trick of Better Call Saul is that it inverts its parent series: Breaking Bad is a good man choosing to become bad, and this is a man desperate to be taken seriously being refused, repeatedly, by people who are technically correct about him.

Who is Saul Goodman?

Saul Goodman was written as comic relief for three episodes and became the centre of a six-season prequel widely judged to be better than the show that produced him. The trick of Better Call Saul is that it inverts its parent series: Breaking Bad is a good man choosing to become bad, and this is a man desperate to be taken seriously being refused, repeatedly, by people who are technically correct about him. His brother's judgement — that he is fundamentally a conman playing at law — is both unfair and true, and the tragedy is that being told it is what makes it certain. The name is a pun that the character explains as a marketing decision, and the strip-mall lawyer aesthetic, all screaming primary colours and inflatable statues, is a sustained joke about the gap between how he presents and what he is.

Why Saul Goodman endures

A three-episode comic part expanded into one of the most acclaimed prequels ever made, and a rare case of a spin-off widely regarded as surpassing its source.

What Saul Goodman looks like on a shirt

Signature motif: The garish suits, the Constitution backdrop, and the slogan billboard

This character's apparel is almost entirely typographic — the catchphrase, the fake law-firm branding and the strip-mall advertising aesthetic. Loud primary colours are the point, which makes the designs unusually bright for an adult-rated property.
