Better Call Saul Premiere Dates – Two-Night Premiere Event
Episode 1 is set to premiere in the US on AMC at 10/9c on Sunday February 8, 2015, with episode 2 airing the following night.
Over in the UK on Netflix, the series premiere date will be Monday the 9th of February 2015, becoming available to watch online from 7:00am onwards. The second episode will then be added to Netflix UK the day after, with the following episodes coming every Tuesday at 7:00am.
Season 1 of BCS will be broadcast over 10 episodes, with a 13 episode second season already commissioned.
Plot/Premise
The show is a prequel spin-off to one of the greatest television series of all time, Breaking Bad. Set six years prior to his first appearance as Walter White (Bryan Cranston) and Jesse Pinkman’s (Aaron Paul) ‘criminal’ lawyer/partner in crime, the series is based around the then small-time and struggling James McGill. Operating on both sides of the law, BCS follows Jimmy on his journey to becoming the successful TV and billboard plastered Saul Goodman.
As the series begins we see Jimmy trying to earn an honest living and make a name for himself simply through being a hard-working and legit lawyer. But desperate for cash and respect, McGill sees an opportunity to make some much needed money. However this time legality is less of a concern to ‘Slippin’ Jimmy’.
Accompanied by fellow BB character, his fixer and cleaner-upper Mike Ehrmantraut, Jimmy will be doing whatever it takes to make ends meet and transform himself into the comb-over sporting, massage loving Mr Goodman.
Being a prequel, you won’t have needed to watch Breaking Bad first in order to understand BCS, but if you haven’t seen it yet, do yourself a huge favor and start enjoying one heck of a television drama. The first series is good, but from season 2 on, it gets great, so stick with it.
