It’s pleasing how slowly, carefully and meticulously the story unfolds, and while this does continue to verge on snail-paced or frustrating on occasion, for the most part, it’s very enjoyable being sucked into its world every week.
*Episode 3 spoilers ahead, watch it on Netflix here*
The show’s two central stories have now taken completely separate paths (that I’m sure will intersect toward the end of the season), with Mike deep into brooding, dusty, lo-fi MacGyver territory while Jimmy provides the show’s emotion, so tragicomic is his situation.
Chuck follows through on his promise to have the book thrown at Jimmy with great velocity in ‘Sunk Costs’, as the police arrive to arrest Jimmy for a list of charges (and did you notice the handcuff detail on his shoes? Classic Vince Gilligan/Peter Gould stuff). Adding insult to injury, Chuck – always convinced of his moral high ground and in denial of the truth: he’s an asshole – tells Jimmy he is having his brother busted for his own good, leading Jimmy to, in no uncertain terms, sever ties with Chuck, telling him very blankly that he will die alone.
