It depends on what season you're talking, really. Some seasons, Jimmy was making an honest attempt

But even though I don't like chuck, it was clear he was driving the show in a good way. The parts where he isn't involved aren't quite as interesting and Jimmy does worse, just because the plot has ro move forward somehow

jimmy does a LOT of stupid shit even without the help of chuck's refusal to acknowledge him. chuck is right that jimmy has no business being a lawyer.

but chuck also does nothing to help Jimmy fix himself and sabotages Jimmy's attempts at going straight in a way that even kim can't do anything about.

so fuck chuck

but man i love this show

yeah, chuck is a gigantic asshole while being right, which is what's so impressive about him

love both omar and ernie!

i think jimmy gets his own "grey matter" moment when he actually does get the job at davis and main. even after his initial fuckup, he was kept on the team, but he intentionally sabotaged that.

i find this show significantly slower than breaking bad, but it's possibly my favorite still-running show.

and erin nails being a (slightly exaggerated) snooty, unbending second year at a big law firm?

Weaku don't read this.

Would people generally prefer a fake spoiler that someone dies, or a real spoiler that someone is alive (in a show where characters dying is a risk?) I want to correct that misunderstanding, but I'm not sure it'd be making things better.

does this show have a confirmed number of seasons or is it kind of just going still?

I couldn't stand season 2, to the point that I didn't watch Season 3 until after 4 finished. The jump in quality from season 2 to season 3 was crazy, and 4/5 have been even better

I rewatched some of S1 the other day and definitely agree. It's kind of heartbreaking. The episode where they're both animated about the Sandpiper lawsuit and working together is great to see, and then it just all implodes. And you think "OK, at least that means Howard is an ally rather than a villain", but Howard is still kind of a psuedo-Patrick-Bateman-ish prick, just less of one than we were led to believe.

Damn you BB/BCS and your ability to wound me

Yeah it's easy to forget how much of a prick Howard is, I wonder how that arc will end. And I almost wonder if they didn't know Chuck would be an antagonist until Episode 9, or maybe it just slowly came out because I guess Chuck still loves Jimmy? It's definitely a leap that comes out of left field, it would just be good to know it was all planned. But with the way Vince writes as he goes, it's doubtful.

it's been stated that it wasn't all planned. but that said, it's a brilliant twist and honestly it really makes chuck a far better character.

Yeah, but that means the beginning and later Chucks are different people. Sure it's an improvement, but it could have been done far more cleanly.

IIRC, Howard works to pay off Chuck with personal funds because taking the money from the firm might endanger it. Sure, I may not want to work with Howard (unlikable stuffed shirt), but I definitely wouldn't want to work with Jimmy, Chuck, or even Kim. Of the four "main" attorneys the show focuses on, Howard is easily the most normal and professional.

How is Kim not professional? Overworking herself? Having fun with Jimmy on the side? She seems steady to me.

Howard is a prick, at least at first. Idk what his deal is. Perhaps Chuck changed him?

Also yeah @Snrkiko , don't scroll or look up from here til you finish Season 3.

Lol yeah it comes out of nowhere. It's worse when you know it's coming, or at least it was to me when I rewatched it.

Season 3 may be my favorite season so far, but I think 6 will go toe to toe with it, and 5 has possibly my favorite episode.

Chuck is honestly one of my favourite antagonists on TV. Completely loathsome yet sympathetic. Casting, writing, concept, performance, all perfect.

A lot of that can be said for Kim too though (not the loathsome part, obviously, since Kim is the best)

that's one of the single worst things jimmy does, IMO. that said, the show has backtracked on a lot of jimmy's worst actions too (gaslighting chuck for mesa verde).
