That's because they are Breaking Bad, yo. You knew he ended up being Saul Goodman, the transformation was built into the cake. What if you and Dorthy Gale broke bad? Might look something like that, cautionary tale indeed, but how does that prevent relating to the characters?Smitty-48 wrote: ↑Wed Mar 25, 2020 6:08 pmThat was in the first season, but as it's gone on, Jimmy has gotten more crazy and Kim is getting crazy now tooStCapps wrote: ↑Wed Mar 25, 2020 6:06 pmYou said you're like Jimmy and your wife is like Kim, and now you're saying you don't identify with the characters?

Of course, SEAL Team is my Soap, but it's a good Soap, it's not epic obviously
I don't so much identify with the characters in a Vince Gilligan show, I'm not emotionally attached to them
I just take the lessons of the shows, what not to do, it's all cautionary tales

It's going to be a disaster, as you say, but I am not like that, I check myself before I wreck myself

I identify with Clay & Stella like military me and my girlfriend then, I am Clay, she was Stella
Kim & Jimmy are frankly too trashy to be me & the misses, we are actually very upstanding folk

It's a tragedy bro, it would be boring if they lived happily ever after, not to mention a retcon.Smitty-48 wrote: ↑Wed Mar 25, 2020 6:13 pmLike you said, Kim & Jimmy are heading for a meltdown because they don't respect their marriage

If Jimmy and Kim were upstanding folk, Better Call Saul would suck balls dude, cut them some slack.

You're not supposed to cut them some slack, they're both despicable

I'm guessing that if they tried to make a TV show out of your marriage, it wouldn't be as good as Better Call Saul. Not everything that's great in life makes for a good TV show, so try giving TV show characters in a tragedy a little slack for not winning the life lottery, at least at the end, because that's the whole point.

Of course they are despicable, but if they weren't despicable the show wouldn't be any good. Better Call Saul without it's despicable yet relatable characters is not a TV show worth watching, same goes with Breaking Bad.

I'm not saying it's a bad show, I'm just saying it's a show about bad people
I may be a hard man, but I am honorable, Mrs Smitty is the same
