It's all about the music, dude! Sit down, relax and listen to some tunes.

Sorry for the obscure reference

"Better Call Saul" is a current television series on AMC which grew out of their very successful previous series, "Breaking Bad" (which itself won all kinds of awards, kudos from critics and viewers, etc.). Per Wikipedia, the debut episode of "Better Call Saul" set the record for the highest-rated scripted series premiere in basic cable history.

It deals with a scheister lawyer, Jimmy McGill, whom, despite his venality, you find yourself rooting for. At a later point in the series, he will change his name to Saul Goodman (hence, the series title). Although there are many comic episodes (as when McGill's schemes backfire), the general tone of the series is deeply serious. In fact, in terms of tone, I find it similar to the 1993 Michael Douglas film, "Falling Down" - one of my favorite films of all time.

If you or anyone else ever get(s) interested, the series will probably appear on Netflix at some point - which will allow for binge watching and catching up. The current first season of ten episodes is a little over half done right now.
