For all the ways he took Kim Wexler (Rhea Seehorn) for granted in the first two seasons, he has shown a capacity for surprising acts of empathy, especially in the wake of his law partner, Chuck McGill’s, death in season four he even offered Jimmy a job at his own company, Hamlin Hamlin McGill (HHM), to make amends in season five. The man who, according to Jimmy McGill (Bob Odenkirk), “reached a level of douchebaggery that will live on for generations” has always shown signs that he’s more complicated than that. Howard Hamlin (Patrick Fabian) has long been one of Better Call Saul’s most underrated characters.
Spoilers ahead for the mid-season finale of Better Call Saul.
