Good guy or bad guy?


Jimmie tried to help the people in the senior home, and he helps Chuck, but is he also doing evil? It's hard to understand his character.

He's a bad guy with a heart.
If he loves you, he'll break the law to help you.
If he hates you, he'll break the law to hurt you.
If he is indifferent to you, he might use you to help or hurt other people.

He has charisma, charm, warmth, gregariousness and a lovability about him. That is why a lot of people like him. But make no mistake, he's a criminal at heart and he ends up hurting people (even those he loves) far more than he helps them.

This is a man badly in need of redemption for a lifetime (and I do mean a lifetime) of corruption.

Thanks! That makes perfect sense.

He's mixed. He's good and bad. He seems to be a genuinely nice and good guy, but he's also extremely selfish and greedy. He did help the seniors, but it was more about gain for himself. He then turned everyone in the home against the one lady to make a quick buck. But then he regretted it and fixed it, which hurt himself. So yeah, completely mixed.

In Breaking Bad though, he becomes more bad than good. Hes never evil, hes never as bad as Walt, but he's much more okay with committing serious crimes. He full blown works with a drug lord, he suggests having multiple people killed...he's still very likeable, but he also doesnt mind being a part of serious crimes, both directly and indirectly.

He's really a complicated character! Multiple personalities!

Both. He's always been both. In BCS he's just more good than bad.

But as the show goes on, towards the times of Breaking Bad, the scales seem to dip more and more to the bad side.
