Ok sure hes a godly lawyer with a brother that stresses him out. That would be fine.

But his electricity thing is really dumb. Its either mental illness or a stress disorder. Maybe thats fine but he keeps playing high and might and judgmental to Jimmy.

Pick a lane: Youre crazy/worried/stressed about jimmy and have a condition so either back off or double down on Jimmy.

Or be honest and just tell Jimmy you think hes such a shit lawyer you dont want your profesional paths to ever cross or youll go after him.

They just concocted a very dramatic story for story content imo, which yeah is what shows do but the electric sensitivity seems over the top silly.

Other than that i think the shows great.

Chuck is too proud to admit he has a mental illness because it goes against his idea of himself.

Id say if not but for hes in perfect standing to talk down at jimmy. But to make the world bend to it yet not address it is crazy.

And again talking down to someone taking care of you through your crazy mental condition is rude af

Chuck was a prick. I just hated how even though he didn't like Jimmy's character, Jimmy still took care of him and was a way better brother to him then Chuck ever was to Jimmy.

If he had been a better brother maybe Saul never would have happened.

I don't want to spoil anything, so I won't see really say anything besides just give it time, and see where it goes.

Ok: Chucks right about Jimmy. But if he knows him so well then hes stupid not to plan around him better. If he knows Jimmy will play dirty then maybe give some things up so Jimmy wont go after things chuck wants.

More so Jimmy is nice and means well while Chucks an asshole. We constantly see people like and side with Jimmy knowing hes in the wrong and oppose Chuck solely cause hes an asshole.

Chuck needs to be nicer or not fight Jimmy knowing hell pull shady shit. Mike said it best with their being good criminals and bad cops.

Finish it Doe... you know you want to. That self-destructive stuff isn't nearly as bad as Breaking Bad.

I feel like you either haven't gotten to a lot of what makes Chuck tick or you might just be missing it. Keep watching tho, he's a great character.

The amount of time devoted to people bending to his hyper sensitivity to electricity is astounding. Some cases are ridiculous.....

sure Chuck may have been right in regards to Slippin' Jimmy as a lawyer being dangerous to everyone around.

however, he's still a two-faced prick for not giving his brother a chance when he seemed to be straightening up when he was working in the mailroom and got his law degree. heck he used Howard to tell Jimmy he didnt want him working at HHM instead of telling it himself... smh

plus, it seems like he's always been jealous of him for being more charismatic.

also it is a mental illness, but like jimmy says in the hospital scene, you try explaining to a guy twice as smart as you that hes the crazy one. Its not as easy as youd think

I love how nuanced Chuck

He's a fiercely intelligent , hard working man with very high moral values who usually does the right thing and genuinely wants to help people

Yet he is also massively flawed and keeps making awful decisions

he's just so ... human

All that Chuck needed to do was encourage Jimmy to not do shady things as he did help people. Have him use his charisma to aid others but to not go past a certain line so he stays within the legal system.

Chucks jealously and the fact he felt Jimmy was not good enough to be an attorney was the big problem.

This is literally how they worked together on sandpiper

to think if only Saul didnt try to scam Tuco's abuelita, he wouldnt have involved with all those shady characters.

heck, maybe Saul Goodman wouldnt have seen the light of day...
