Breaking-Bad-Skyler-Walter-White
Summary Kim Wexler was Better Call Saul’s answer to Breaking Bad’s most polarizing character, Skyler White, and the comparison between the two made me appreciate Skyler more. Once Better Call Saul settled into its premise, Kim took on the same role that Skyler played in Breaking Bad. In Breaking Bad, when Skyler finally became aware of her husband’s secret double life as a drug kingpin, she became the show’s moral compass.
Kim went the other way. When Jimmy first started bending the rules to keep his clients out of jail, Kim immediately expressed reservations. When Jimmy kept breaking the law, Kim decided she wouldn’t stop him from doing what he was doing, but she didn’t want to hear about it, so she wouldn’t be legally liable. But as time went on and Jimmy’s schemes got more elaborate, Kim eventually became enticed by the thrill of rule-bending.
Kim came to the same realization that Skyler eventually came to: that she’s in a toxic relationship and needs to get out. The only difference is that Skyler didn’t have to get one of her colleagues killed to come to that realization. Skyler knew from the get-go that Walt’s life of crime could only end in tragedy, and she was called an annoying nag for trying to point that out before it was too late.
