    Better Call Saul is the prequel to the award-winning series Breaking Bad, set six years before Saul Goodman (Bob Odenkirk) became Walter White's lawyer. When we meet him, the man who will become Saul Goodman is known as Jimmy McGill, a small-time lawyer searching for his destiny, and, more immediately, hustling to make ends meet. Working alongside, and often against, Jimmy is "fixer" Mike Erhmantraut (Jonathan Banks), a beloved character introduced in Breaking Bad. The series will track Jimmy's transformation into Saul Goodman, the man who puts "criminal" in "criminal lawyer."

      What’s interesting though is that Kim seems much more intent on destroying Howard than Jimmy. Jimmy goes along with it and enjoys the thrill but Kim is the one who is making the plans and seems most concerned with the plot going through. Howard was douchey to Kim but I’m still a bit confused as to why she was so set on this plot.

    The worst thing about Jimmy (and Kim) treating Howard bad is Howard always looks like he liked Jimmy. Even in this scene, Howard was the one who gave the nickname "Charlie Hustle". At the very least Howard wasn't against Jimmy working as a lawyer (Chuck who denied it), in the board scene Howard always asked Jimmy opinion if he felt he was uncomfortable with a particular decision, and Howard later on invited Jimmy to work at HHM.

      Pete Rose was nicknamed Charlie Hustle, and since then the name has become synonymous with cheats, liars and gamblers.

Then the way He treats Ernie and his employees is unfair and arrogant. Putting Kim in the cornfield, leaving her there and stealing her client was legal but ruthless at best.

At first he may seem like the typical "bad guy" in movies or even like some weird jock but I think that quickly changes and they make that easy for the viewer to see because they go out of their way to humanize his character a lot.
      Chuck was the "skyler" of the show. The writers were able to keep chuck and skyler's characters unlikable from virtually all angles without making it unrealistic. I think a lot of viewers side with Howard and his character even though they may "root" more for Jimmy in a given scene. I think most viewers just want Howard and Jimmy to get along.

    You can see Howard liked Jimmy, the only parts he didn’t like was because of what Chuck was telling him.
    The saying goes “if you’re told something enough you start to believe it”. I think Chuck was a big reason Saul was created and Jimmy wasn’t able to flourish as a lawyer he was earlier in the series. (Especially because he didn’t want him to be hired)
    I think if Howard had a backbone and stood up to Chuck’s jealousy and bitterness toward Jimmy, he would still be alive today and have the respect of Kim and Jimmy.
    But he stood up too late to Chuck, and Chucks damage to Jimmy was already done. Thus Jimmy and Kim lost all respect for Howard. Jimmy had issues before, don’t get me wrong, but maybe having Chuck not call him a liar constantly and believing in him would have helped turn him into a better person

    Knowing what we know, Howard has been the most honest.

    Howard is the most underrated character. Patrick Fabian is a class act.

    I hope Vince and the team have the creative reserves left to continue expanding this universe, it seems like they not only never miss but only keep raising the bar.

    What I love about these writers and their character development is how they create these complex human characteristics. Jimmy (in the BCS timeline/NOT the breaking bad timeline) ofen didthe wrong things for the right reasons. Chuck, on the other hand, did the right things for the wrong reasons.

    Something I love about Howard and that I picked up on right away is how he always carries himself upright and proud almost. His shoulders are always high and his back is straight, often he puts his chin up a bit. It's all subtle but it hammers home his characters biggest trait (imo), his pride. When he's drunk or manic he loses control of this proud demeanor and slumps his shoulders and drops his head. Fantastic physical acting from Patrick Fabian.

    2:50 "Don't stray too far. Charles McGill is not the subject of this hearing"
    He most certainly is but not one in the room is aware of it yet. Except Jimmy.

    It's really impressive how much Howard changes on rewatch, you really notice how much Chuck's chicanery forced him into bad situations for his professional career and general life.
