‘Better Call Saul’ EP Melissa Bernstein On ‘Legal Ethics’ Short-Form Series, “Sewing Up” Saul Goodman’s Story & Getting “Complicated Show” Back On Set Amidst Pandemic
Matt Grobar Assistant Editor, AwardslineIn Legal Ethics With Kim Wexler, Better Call Saul EP Melissa Bernstein found a compelling, new opportunity to extend the universe created by Vince Gilligan and Peter Gould, examining with humor a character who’d found herself at a major moral crossroads.The critically acclaimed spin-off to Gilligan’s Breaking Bad, Better Call Saul centers on Jimmy McGill (Bob Odenkirk), a small-time lawyer and beaten down con man, on a downward spiral toward a life of crime and corruption. In the drama, Rhea Seehorn plays Wexler, an upstanding attorney, who becomes entangled with McGill—and his alter ego, Saul Goodman—on both professional and romantic levels.
