這部榮獲艾美獎提名的影集是《絕命毒師》的前傳，劇情描述三流律師吉米·麥吉爾如何一路走來，成為遊走在法律邊緣、惡名昭彰的薩爾·古德曼律師。

Set against the backdrop of a hit dating competition show, "UnREAL" is led by Rachel, a young staffer whose sole job is to manipulate her relationships with and among the contestants to get the vital dramatic and outrageous footage the program's dispassionate executive producer demands. What ensues is a humorous, yet vexing, look at what happens in the world of unscripted television, where being a contestant can be vicious and producing it is a whole other reality.

Set in the early 1960's in New York City's Public Morals Division, where cops walk the line between morality and criminality as the temptations that come from dealing with all kinds of vice can get the better of them.
