I think you missed the point about Walter's answer regarding what his regret was, and why he would change it if he could. His answer, that he wished that he didn't quit Gray Matter the company that he helped set up with his 2 colleagues, was not because of Walt's pride. It's because if he didn't quit, he would be as rich and successful as them, and hence, would not need to have gone in the Meth business at all, because he would not have any money problems.

2025-06-05 17:55:35 +0000 UTCI absolutely loved this episode. I watched it live on television and it was such an emotional conclusion to a universe years in the making. All three big characters (Walt, Jesse, & Jimmy) all got different endings to their characters (Death, Freedom, Prison). It wrapped up everything that made this show special and tragic. It was almost nostalgic in a way. Saul finally coming clean and unloading the burden of everything he had internalized for years on public display, and going back to being Jimmy McGill was such a great send of for his character. The whole episode you're feeling anger and embarrassment for Saul due to his lack of remorse or regret. He gets asked twice what his regrets were and both times he gives a superficial answer (money, health). But at the very end, Jimmy redeems himself and confesses to everything. Even the deeply buried emotions about his brother Chuck, and how he played a role in his suicide. The Time Machine aspect of this season was a great touch. The book is also subtly shown throughout the season (intro to episode 1, and another time on his nightstand at Kim's apartment) as a sort of reverse Easter egg (according to the show creators). You're not ment to know it's significance until minutes before the very end of the show. Chuck clearly was reading The Time Machine and got to thinking about having a heart to heart talk with his brother in that flashback. In the book, from what I remember, the main character builds a time machine to go back in time to change events that occurred to him, more specifically, he tries to save his wife from being murdered/killed while they are out on a date. He realizes that no matter how many times he goes back in time to try to prevent this from happening, that she will just end up dying in a different manner. He realizes that the future is predetermined and that certain events are inevitable. Saul goes around asking Mike & Walt what they would change if they had a time machine. Walt cuts right to the chase and explains that Saul is really asking about if they had any regrets. At the very end of the show, Saul, now Jimmy, explains his true regrets. We then see a tragic flashback in which Chuck was actually trying to talk with his brother late one night. Jimmy sort of shrugs it off and misses out on this heart to heart with his brother. I like to think that this was one of Jimmy's regrets in life. Jimmy also mentions in that scene that tomorrow, he'll try to pick up the Financial Times newspaper over on Central Ave. for Chuck. In Season 1 Episode 1, he comes into Chuck's house saying that he got that certain newspaper. This tells you that the flashback between them two is set 1 day before the show starts. The entire first 3 seasons, and even season 4, had a message at its core that "people don't change" and "he was always like this," according to Chuck. They brought back that theme from earlier on in the series and its nice to know the creators had that vision in mind. Even until this episode, we see Gene STILL scheming and ripping people off until he is caught. It is only then that he decides to transition back from his Saul persona into his James McGill one; the one we met earlier in the season. The finale makes it clear that people CAN change, despite what Chuck and others may believe. This show is so brilliantly done. Can't believe its Saul Gone, man

2025-05-19 00:44:38 +0000 UTCThat ending always hit hard for me too. Jimmy/Saul/Gene wasn't just saying goodbye to Kim, but to all of us. The BB universe and all the story arcs are complete. It's entirely why it's such an amazing series to rewatch, especially with reactors like you. It's not just a TV series, it's a journey. And everyone experiences it differently :)

2025-05-14 18:33:47 +0000 UTCIts been really wonderful watching this show with you, V. This is quite the human story. Which is why I feel people have difficulty nailing down the character. He's not a limited dimensional character; Bob created a story about a human. Jimmy is a man of opportunity. Not good or bad. A man that had knowledge of his choices in almost every circumstance. Jimmy was a capitalist. He had the ability to manipulate his own empathy. Not many written characters are this level of nuance. In older stories, Jimmy would be seen as a change maker, a facilitator, a catalyst. People aren't good or bad, they're human. He widen and narrowed his perspective as it suited him. We judge him because of what we desire him to do with his powers, of what we believe is the right way to live. As though there is only the correct way and the wrong way. Jimmy never focused on an end goal, he never focused on building a life, only in having a life that allowed him to never worry about the future, never worry about where his next meal came from. Massive amounts of money means never having to worry about a future. Never having to worry about where you'll end up because the money will solve it, whatever it ends up being. Its only when he focused on having a future (limiting his opportunities) that he chose the more moral path. JImmy lived in the present, "living his best life, yolo", as the selfish egotistical kids say, lol. He didn't care about the direction of mankind. He saw his own actions as a drop in the bucket compared to the actions of people around the world and in history; unimportant, "people take from people everyday, people die everyday, can't be stopped, I'm just taking my cut" kind of mentality. He only focused on doing what he needed to do today so that would reduce his worry about tomorrow. He only believed in the good he could do when the good believed in him. But that meant he had to worry about tomorrow again, worry about Chuck, worry about Kim; so like any human, he pushed away from his support under the belief it was holding him back. He was human. Bob achieved the near impossible task of successfully writing a character with so many dimensions that it was as close to a human on the page as he could; and he knocked it out of the ballpark.

2025-05-11 06:02:32 +0000 UTCI think Jimmy is someone who can really only be good in prison now. He’s definitely with his people. We can tell from the Gene story that if Jimmy did get out in seven years, all signs point to him falling back into scams and ultimately ending up back in prison. Did Saul realize this about himself? Maybe. Or maybe he just knew that any version of him being “changed” should look like him in prison taking accountability. The only thing that’s for sure is that Kim inspired the change. Kim was always who Jimmy wanted to appear “good” to. Having her respect in prison meant more than not having it while free. Hearing that she confessed just as she had advised him to do is what opened that door in his mind. With Kim doing the right thing and Jimmy still wanting her approval, the only option is doing the right thing himself. Lastly, I think Jimmy confessing his role in Chuck’s suicide is what finally does earn Kim’s approval. This is the one thing he’d held back from her and refused to acknowledge even to himself. For him, it’s a big step to actually verbalize it. For her, it would explain so much about why Jimmy became cold. She was always trying to figure out what was going on with him without prying. Hearing this in court would like, “Oh, *that* is what was going on with him.” It gives them both closure in that way.

2025-05-10 04:05:58 +0000 UTCNot yet. She gotta finish the other shows she started first.
Aldo Gonzales
2025-05-10 03:46:10 +0000 UTCNow you’ve gotta check out either The Sopranos which fun fact had a huge influence on Breaking Bad to be made orrrr the Yellowstone saga I know you’d love them

2025-05-09 00:19:28 +0000 UTCHey Vee! i quick little detail that alyways gives me goosebumps in terms of emotions is when Saul asked Walt about regrets he takes a moment to think about it repeating the word "regrets?". When he says that he looked down at his watch ticking. The same watch Jesse gave him as a present

2025-05-08 09:48:09 +0000 UTCMy recommendation is Severance and only Severance until it is watched. Please enjoy all shows equally.

2025-05-08 09:10:17 +0000 UTCHi V. I agree with most of the recommendations given so far, but here's a great one for you most people don't know about. It was originally an HBO show now on Prime. "The Time Travelers Wife." I truly believe you'll absolutely dig it! The only caveat is that it had a 6 episode order in it's 1st season, beautifully and subtly set up the rest of the story (I know because I read the book, lol,) but never got a 2nd season to finish the story. So if you can handle the frustration of it not getting completed, I think it's a fantastic 6 hours of entertainment. It was also a movie, but the series is more charming than the film. Think about it.

2025-05-08 05:08:18 +0000 UTCMy interpretation of Jimmy, but first my interpretation of Walt. The common belief is that he was a good guy he became bad. My belief is that he was a pussy who became a strong man, even in college he let his so-called friends rip him off of his inventions because he was a pussy. So once he became strong, he didn't know how to be strong while still maintaining any degree of morality. You might say Gus and Mike were evil too, but they had a strong moral code. Heisenberg had none. Jimmy was a bad kid who strived to be a good guy, but everything and everyone in his life tried to stop him from being good. After Kim left him, the only one who ever truly believed in him, all attempts at being good were gone. But in the end, he confessed everything because he wanted Kim to hear it. He took 86 years instead of 7 to impress Kim; he did it for love. That's why I love Saul so much more than Walt. Feel free to disagree. I know I might be in the minority, and a debate on this could be fun.

2025-05-08 05:02:40 +0000 UTCI think you should watch Mr. Robot next
Bryson Freeman
2025-05-08 04:47:28 +0000 UTCBreaking Bad creator Vince Gilligan is also working on a new unrelated show with Rhea Seehorn (who played Kim) as the lead so keep a look out for that 👀

2025-05-08 01:55:45 +0000 UTCI got one that many haven't heard of that is on Hulu, though it's as gritty psychologically as it is otherwise. "The Shield." I don't mean Marvel either; no offense to that fanbase; it's a cop drama, with a dirty cop as the main character, but more of an anti-hero premise. You can youtube the trailer for it if you want to, and see what you think.

2025-05-08 01:13:22 +0000 UTCFargo is definitely a great comparison to BB/ BCS with similar balance of Comedy/ Drama/ Thriller as well as amazing filmmaking

2025-05-08 01:11:30 +0000 UTCIt's been a pleasure to be alongside you for this journey. I adore these two shows and am glad you do too. This finale was written in a similar vein to A Christmas Carol. Jimmy was visited by 3 ghosts, Chuck (his past), Mike (his present) and Walt (his future), all of whom he discussed regrets & making changes in one's life with. In the first one with Mike, Mike opens up about his regret for the first step he took on the path he ended up on & Jimmy comes back with a shallow financial ambition. In the second, Walt too opens up about a personal regret of bowing out of Grey Matter & Jimmy responds with another shallow answer about injuring himself in a con. In the third (likely set the day before S1E1), Chuck, having been reading The Time Machine & thinking on making changes, gives Jimmy the opportunity to discuss his path (though it may have thinly veneered with how he doesn't trust Jimmy as a lawyer) & he declines. From there the events of the show transpire. Perhaps not accepting that offer is Jimmy's ultimate regret? Once he found out that Kim actually did do the right thing and turned herself in, I think it shocked Jimmy and made him think about how he too should confront his sins and stop trying to hide them away. So he admits to his crimes & wrongdoings and simultaneously gets Kim off the chopping block whilst under oath, sparing her from facing consequence and taking it all himself. Between Walt, Jimmy & Saul you've got 3 great, appropriate endings. 1 got away, 1 died in a blaze of glory and 1 faced up & accepted the consequences.

2025-05-08 01:08:57 +0000 UTCI highly recommend Mr. Robot as well, absolute masterpiece in every aspect, it's the only show I would put in the same tier as Breaking Bad and BCS. I feel like you would absolutely love it!!

2025-05-08 00:35:24 +0000 UTCI can recommend the Fargo TV show. Every season has different characters and story. As the famous movie directed by the Cohen brothers, the show is a thriller and a black comedy with crime/detective drama. It's very good. The HBO show "Barry" that has already been recommended is also very good in the same genre.

VKunia
2025-05-07 23:01:05 +0000 UTCClosest for me is Barry (HBO). It handles drama and humor perfectly, excellent black comedy. The episodes are 30 minutes also.
