@Adam.H I agree that this guy being a dick, but I disagree with the idea that we should just shut up and watch the content.
I think the fun of reaction content and watching movies and TV in general is watching something and having a community to discuss it.
I leave comments on here all the time. Many of my comments are of the “50 paragraphs” variety, but I don’t do it to be mean or to prove them wrong. I just have a lot of ideas about the show, and I don’t know anyone who has seen it or are interested in talking about it. Obviously, they are interested in talking about it or else they wouldn't make the videos, but maybe I am misreading the situation.

I can't even imagine having such an awful take. Also, pretty mean tbh. How could you skip the Jimmy scenes? Jimmy is one of the most complex and beautiful characters ever written. The whole point of the show is that they make us feel such great sympathy and loss for someone who is, at the core of his being, a manipulator and a liar who is deliberately taking steps toward his own destruction. Every time I watch Jimmy take another step down the road, I hope that Jimmy will see where he is going and turn back to be happy with Kim forever even though I know his destination is inevitable. It is really sad, but that feeling is the heart of the show. I don't understand how you could even enjoy the show if you don't feel any sympathy for Jimmy.

I don't think they've made any excuses for him at all, they just like him and dislike Chuck (which is how the show is written to act out). And that's the interesting part, liking someone who is objectively doing bad things and continuing to do worse each episode. It's complicated.
Tbh it's pretty cringy that you are so upset over how some people (that you pay) don't react the same was as you do.
What's the point in subscribing and being a patron of them if you want them to think the same way you do?
Even if I disagree with their take on something I'm not gonna go out of my way to write 50 paragraphs debating them on their thoughts being wrong. I just enjoy their reactions.
At the end of the day it's a show meant for entertainment, they're not on jury duty or something...

Or, it's an incredibly well written show that you could go back and forth on for years, and you could take either person's side and have a million reasons to do so.

You girls sure do make alot of excuses for a grown ass man in his 30's. " Its his dads fault" "Its Chucks Fault". Jimmy aint some 17 18 year old kid who cant figure out right from wrong, hes a damn lawyer. Chuck layed it out perfect in their last scene together. Jimmy will do some fucked up scamming shit, shows some remorse when hes done, then goes right back to doing fucked up shit to whoever is in his way. Its a nasty cycle that a man in 30's let alone a LAWYER should be able to recognize and correct, unless jimmy is really the one with some mental issues not chuck. Chuck never wanted Jimmy in Jail or dead he wanted his Lawyer tittle stripped because he knows how destructive Jimmys personality is. Lets not forget he quit a perfect fine job in season 2 just because "It diddnt fit his style". Daddy and Big brother are really suppose to hold this mans hand throughout his whole life to keep him outta trouble. I loved Saul Goodman but Jimmy McGill is a peice of shit who yall continuously make excuses for because hes funny and charming. Saul Goodman was a Savage, Jimmy McGil is a 30 year old baby. Honestly if it wasnt for knowing how crappy his life is post breaking bad at the cinnabon i wouldve fast forwarded all the jimmy scenes and just watch the Nacho, Mike and Gus stuff. its way more interesting then watching jimmy lack of accountability episode to episode

I think it was Jimmy unloading his guilt on Howard. He thought he was the one that caused Chuck's demise with the whole court room debacle, then he realize Howard pushed him out of the firm because of the insurance, Jimmy is putting that on Howard. Even though he is also as fault for the insurance he either doesn't realize it, ignoring it, or like you said, just living with no regrets.

Acting by Fabian, Seahorn, and Odenkirk is just great in that last scene. But I bust out laughing when y'alls faces looked so much like Howard's after jimmy dropped that bomb on him. Enjoyed imons tension breaker with "well there it is" XD

Don't think I'm the guy you referenced about always being down on jimmy, but, it's not a bad point to mention that you have seen full blown Saul in breaking bad.
Odenkirk is too sweet of an actor for me to genuinely dislike, but I gotta recognize my own bias, and see this as the tragedy it is, and goodness gracious all praise to this show for making me so conflicted despite knowing the outcome (of most of it)
Don't mind me, I just like talking up the quality of this show, carry on, love your reactions
