Better Call Saul (2015)

Namaste - S5-E4

Trivia: The scene in which Saul tricks a witness on the stand into identifying a defendant that he had swapped out with a doppelganger may be based on a real-life incident from 1994, in which a lawyer swapped out his client with a lookalike, leading to the arresting officer for the case to misidentify the defendant. The judge presiding over the case then ordered a not guilty verdict and held the defense lawyer in contempt for deception. He ended up only having to pay a $400 fine as punishment.
