Bob Odenkirk had one rule for reprising the role of Saul Goodman in Better Call Saul: 'you’ve got to make him likable if you want to write a show about him.'
Better Call Saul star Bob Odenkirk reveals the first thing he said when approached about the spinoff. The popular Breaking Bad follow-up is finally returning to AMC with its sixth and final season. Consisting of 13 episodes, and split into two parts, Better Call Saul season 6 will debut its first half on April 18. The remaining half will follow on July 11.
Odenkirk is fully recovered from the health scare and with the arrival of Better Call Saul season 6 just weeks away, the actor is looking back at arguably his most famous character and how he has evolved over the course of the spinoff. Although it’s largely a prequel, save for a select few black-and-white flashforwards, the show has deepened audiences’ understanding of the titular lawyer and introduced unforgettable new characters such as Rhea Seehorn’s Kim Wexler.
“The first thing I said to Peter and Vince is you’ve got to make him likable if you want to write a show about him because I didn’t think he was likable. I thought they’d be insulted because I knew they liked the character, but they weren’t. They understood what I meant. I did grow to like him a lot more than when I started.”
Given how Saul was introduced in Breaking Bad as something of a lackey to help along with the plans of Walter White , it’s understandable that Odenkirk wouldn’t much like that version of the character. But what Better Call Saul has done so well is to give life to the person Saul was before he crossed paths with Walter. Jimmy McGill, which is Saul’s real name, has his fair share of flaws.
That nuance, which is afforded to almost all of the characters including the likes of Howard and Nacho , is part of why the series has consistently been among the most praised by critics and adored by viewers. Odenkirk isn’t alone in having doubts about the viability of continuing one of the most impactful dramas of the past few decades. However, with its end near, it’s clear that Better Call Saul stands on its own as a remarkable show.
