Ultimate nerd logic, that things were always better two decades before hitting adulthood.

I don’t know… Believe me, I’m usually the first to rail against nostalgia (along with organized religion and party politics, I think it’s one of the three worst things we humans have inflicted upon ourselves) BUT…
I still can’t help but feel like the idea of the late 90s/early 2000s feels better than the direction the world has gone in the two decades since. 
It’s certainly elements of nostalgia creeping into my worldview (try as I might to fight them) but it’s definitely felt like we’ve been in the worst timeline for quite some time now…

Jimmy. Chuck is an asshole, and he was trying to sabotage Jimmy for reasons that were entirely out of pettiness and bitterness, but everything he said turned out to be entirely true.
Also one is a lawyer for the cartel, the other is, well, not.

Jimmy, because despite his good intentions, he ultimately sold his soul, even if he still had limits on how far he’d go. Chuck, on the other hand, was petty and resentful toward his brother, but that was it. He was not only a fantastic lawyer, but he actually stayed within and followed the law, never stepped into criminality, and even some of his more assholish tendencies toward the end could be chalked up to his steadily worsening and undiagnosed mental illness. Put me in a situation with either of them, Chuck is by far the safer bet.

If you committed a crime Jimmy would probably be your guy though.
For more preferable results, sure… so long as it went like it was meant to and nobody ever caught on. If there’s a screwup though, it would be even worse. Chuck is better when staying out of further trouble, both with the law and the underground.
I AM NOT CRAZY! (Beat) I am not crazy! I know he swapped those numbers, I knew it was 1216 — one after Magna Carta, as if I could ever make such a mistake! Never, never! I just-I just couldn’t prove it! H-H-He covered his tracks, he got that idiot at the copy shop to lie for him! You think this is something, you think this is bad, this, this chicanery? He’s done worse. That billboard! Are you telling me that a man just happens to fall like that? No, he orchestrated it! Jimmy! He defecated through a sunroof! And I saved him! I shouldn’t have, I took him into my own firm! What was I thinking?! He’ll never change. He’ll never change, ever since he was 9, always the same. Couldn’t keep his hands out of the cash drawer. “But not our Jimmy, couldn’t be precious Jimmy!” Stealing them blind! And HE gets to be a LAWYER?! WHAT A SICK JOKE! I should have stopped him when I had the chance! And you, you have to stop him, you— I apologize. I lost my train of thought… got carried away. Do you have anything else?

Jimmy still beats him with that rant he gave Howard at the end of season 5.

I should watch both the shows one day, my sole exposure to this show is exclusively through memes.

I know you have a poor, and not entirely misplaced, opinion of AMC properties. But, trust me, this franchise is absolutely worth it.

Wait what is the opinion you are talking about? I don’t think I have ever expressed an opinion on an AMC show in my life.
You’ve said, right here in this thread I think, though I could be wrong on where, that AMC is terrible with stories. Or IP. Or terrible with some thing, which seemed to hint that you have a low opinion of them. Am I mistaken in the interpretation?
But he’s only like that toward Jimmy, and even the thing with his mother was out of jealousy that he, the good son, was not the last one his mother was thinking of when she died. Other questionable behaviors with other people is no different than any other person’s dickish side showing.
The Walking Dead is fantastic.

I don’t remember saying that, I have issues with some of their programs like The Walking Dead’s decline but nothing that is out of the ordinary for a normal person. I could also say I dislike the erasure of episodic formatting but AMC aren’t the sole factor behind that phenomenon.
Well, either way, you should definitely check it out. It’s like a Scorsese film made into a series. And don’t watch it in chronological order; the greatness of Better Call Saul is in knowing how things turn out in Breaking Bad, so you should watch that first. The movie, El Camino, I don’t think hurts watching after either one.

Chuck, most definitely.
While Jimmy is a shyster and a conman, using devious tricks to get things work his way, his brother, I feel, exposed how bad he could be.
