    I did prefer Breaking Bad but BCS really nailed the bad choice road journey for Jimmy with much more complexity in his personal and working life. I wish the creators made more and more shows like this. So good

      Same here, I especially preferred the ending of Breaking Bad, but you hit the nail on the spot with the bad choice road journey for Saul, something which I can relate to a lot as I see a lot of myself in Jimmy. It is very interesting how the butterfly effect can take a couple of bad choices and spiral them out of control onto a highway with no exit.

    The soft spot of this character Jimmy McGill that makes people empathize with him easily is that, no matter how evil he became, he never serves the corporate establishment. He always stands against the system that rejects him and so many marginalized people.

    Jimmy is one of the most in depth characters ever written. People are complex and our morals/behavior is not based on a set of laws or a rule book. That’s why I think Jimmy is so relatable. His actions are realistic and the audience are able to understand why he acts how he does, even if his actions morally wrong. Better Call Saul has the best character writing in all of tv history

    There’s never bad guy without backstory where he gets his heartbroken. Sure the story of the cartel, Mike, Gus and Nacho was definitely amazing but this show is called “Better Call Saul” for a reason. If Jimmy wasn’t stabbed in the back by the only person he looked up to there wouldn’t be Saul Goodman and he was going to redeem himself from his bad past. The story of Mike, Gus and the cartel wouldn’t go that far and even Walter White wouldn’t become The Heisenberg we know. Everything that happen in this universe is because of Chuck driving Jimmy to become Saul Goodman. This whole story of jimmy’s childhood to Heisenberg’s death is absolutely incredible and genius.

      Then it grew up and those people were blown away by how complex, nuanced, beautiful and different the show was.. Me included. We should've known, it was the same team. But this huge misunderstanding came from one sentence: "It's a spin off, not a show that can stand on its own."

    Key points and takeaways from the video:
    1. "Better Call Saul" is considered one of the greatest TV shows because it offers a unique perspective on morality.
    2. Jimmy McGill's character undergoes a transformation marked by empathy, mistakes, and atonement. His journey is a central theme of the show.
    3. The show explores the dichotomy between following strict laws (deontology) and considering the consequences of actions (consequentialism).
    4. Jimmy's choices and actions have far-reaching and often unforeseeable consequences, illustrating the complexity of real-life moral decisions.
    5. The video discusses how the system is often rigged against individuals with criminal records, making it difficult for them to reintegrate into society.
    6. Characters like Chuck represent the establishment and uphold strict moral codes, but their actions can be morally questionable.
    7. Jimmy's transformation into Saul Goodman is a result of his detachment from his true self and his descent into the world of scams and unethical practices.
    8. The show portrays how individuals can lose their sense of right and wrong when immersed in a corrupt system.
    9. Jimmy eventually chooses to confess to his crimes, marking a significant shift in his character as he seeks atonement for his actions.
    10. The video concludes by emphasizing that moral choices come from personal experience, moral compass, and the ability to discern right from wrong.
    Overall, the video delves into the complexity of morality as portrayed in "Better Call Saul" and how it reflects broader societal issues and moral dilemmas.
    It highlights Jimmy McGill's journey, portrayed by Bob Odenkirk, as a struggle marked by empathy, mistakes, and atonement. The video emphasizes that the show's strength lies in its ability to offer a clear and deep view of morality in the context of a rigged system.

That’s why I’d say breaking bad is a better show than better call Saul.

    Great video. Jimmy and Chuck often felt like two sides of the same coin to me. Both are intelligent, persistent and have a talent for manipulating people. I think the difference, outside of their views of the law, is Jimmy seems a lot more caring than Chuck. Chuck even scolds him for it, telling him to just not apologise if he's going to do it anyway. But it's the caring that makes people love Jimmy, and is ultimately what leads him to his best nature. Chuck isn't heartless, but there's a coldness to how he treats people that makes everyone eventually turn their back on him.

    This is a great depiction of Moloch, the god of unhealthy competition. He emerges from game theory anytime cheating can produce short-term gain and thousands of years ago in more superstitious times, this meant child sacrifice (the ultimate expression of this principle). It was thought that sacrificing a child to Moloch would strengthen any structure, so city walls etc. had child bodies in their foundations.
    I find it creepy AF that modern wokism also has this ultimate expression of child sacrifice to pedophiles or mutilation of sex organs to secure short-term virtue. This is much bigger and more insidious than most people could ever imagine.

      @@jamesrichards2720 Jimmy was a con artist, he regularly scammed people. Not just when he was "Slippin' Jimmy" but in the course of his work too. He was far from good. In the BCS series, representing Lalo wasn't evil. Everyone is entitled to legal representation, no matter what crime they are accused of. But the way he behaved in the course of his duties was really bad. He went on to do far worse things in BB anyway.
      Kim tried to be good at first, but was led astray by Jimmy. She was a smart woman and knew better, she went in to it with her eyes wide open. She did bad things totally on her own with no help from Jimmy, and she was the one who had to talk Jimmy into taking Howard down. Then she destroyed his character at the memorial to protect herself. That is extremely low.
      As for Chuck, he was the worst of the three. He was a self-righteous coward who hid behind the law. He used the law as a weapon to get his own way. He would put the law before everything, whether it was right or wrong. He resented Jimmy because he was his dying mother's last thought. That type of jealousy ate away at him, and he ultimately killed himself when the consequences of his actions came back to him. Absolute coward.
