Man I need a dope recap of the first 3 seasons. I don’t remember everything that has happened and I don’t have time to rewatch all 3 seasons.

Man I need a dope recap of the first 3 seasons. I don’t remember everything that has happened and I don’t have time to rewatch all 3 seasons.

Season 1:

Jimmy, serving as a public defender, inadvertently becomes entangled in an embezzlement case involving the Kettleman family, currently being represented by Chuck's firm Hamlin Hamlin & McGill. Jimmy schemes to become the Kettleman's lawyer, which causes Kim, the associate at HHM overseeing the case, to be demoted. Jimmy gains attention from the case, finding himself taking up several elder law cases, and discovers that Sandpiper Retirement Homes have been mishandling their residents' funds, leading to a potential multi-million class action lawsuit. Jimmy tries to offer this suit to HHM and to hire him, but Chuck secretly blocks this. Jimmy discovers Chuck's involvement and instead ends up turning the case over to HHM for counsel's fees and requiring Howard Hamlin to take over caring for Chuck. Later, Jimmy learns that the Sandpiper case has gotten too big and HHM is portioning part of the work to a second firm, Davis & Main, who want to hire Jimmy due to his knowledge of the case.

Season 2:

Jimmy is put in charge of outreach for the Sandpiper case, but there are very few responses from potential class members from traditional mailings. Jimmy does improper face-to-face solicitation to draw in class members, but Chuck points out this runs afoul of state law. Instead, Jimmy creates his own ad targeted to seniors and airs it without getting its approval by his senior partners. While the ad draws in many clients, Jimmy is reprimanded, and Kim, who was aware Jimmy was making the ad, is further shunned and demoted down to document review at HHM. To try to regain her position, Kim runs through her old contacts, and eventually is able to arrange a meeting between HHM and Mesa Verde, a large regional bank. Though HHM secures the deal, Howard denies Kim any of the credit. Jimmy, who has quit out of Davis & Main, leads Kim to quit HHM and establish her own firm co-located with his as to share the overhead costs. She nearly resecures the Mesa Verde deal herself but Chuck interjects to block her. In revenge, Jimmy makes falsified copies of all the deal papers with an incorrect address, which, when HHM and Mesa Verde present to the government, are forced to put the deal on hold; Chuck becomes paranoid and is convinced Jimmy fakes it, while Kim is able to come in and take back Mesa Verde for herself. When Jimmy next visits Chuck, Chuck feigns illness to bring Jimmy to confess falsifying the documents, which he records on tape.

Season 3:

Chuck plots for Jimmy to learn of the existence of the taped conversation through Kim. Jimmy breaks open Chuck's door and breaks the tape, but Chuck has Howard and a private investigator hiding nearby to witness this, allowing him to issue a criminal offence against Jimmy, which can include having his license to practice law pulled. At the hearing, Jimmy creates a situation where Chuck's electromagnetic hypersensitivity was tested, putting his sanity into question; Jimmy is only blocked from practicing law for a year. To try to cover his part of the shared office, Jimmy turns to producing commercials for local businesses under the name "Saul Goodman", but Kim still is forced to take on extra clients to fully cover expenses, leading to sleep deprivation and causing her to crash her car and break her arm. HHM's insurance learns of Chuck's condition from the trial and threatens to raise their rates as a result, and while Chuck tries to work with a doctor to avoid his hypersensitivity symptoms, Howard ultimately buys Chuck out of his share of HHM, terminating him from the firm. Jimmy tries to make amends, but Chuck refuses to listen, and his hypersensitivity symptoms return. After a fit of tearing out the wiring from his home, Chuck purposely knocks a gas lantern over and starts a fire.

These summaries are incomplete as they don't really mention Mike at all. Long story short he killed two cops that murked his son, then moved to ABQ where he does low level goon work. During those random jobs he started beefing with the Salamanca cartel (Tuco, Hector, the cousins, etc.) which got the attention of Gus, who approached him about working together.
