These 10 Minutes Of Better Call Saul Reveal The Real Reason For Chuck McGill’s Downfall

Chuck McGill’s self-righteousness established him as Better Call Saul‘s primary antagonist during the initial seasons, but it was the first 10 minutes of season 3, episode 5, “Chicanery” that perfectly demonstrated Jimmy’s brother’s downfall. Chuck’s unlikability as a person stems from his outright refusal to be vulnerable to the people he cares about out of fear of looking lesser in their eyes. That was very much on display when Chuck blew his chance to reconcile with his then-wife, Rebecca, as shown in a flashback.
