To think that Jimmy and Kim in ‘Better Call Saul’ are one of the best examples of how to keep the fire burning in a relationship?

I know a lot of their antics - scamming etc aren’t exactly legit - but I love it. To me this is a fantastically written example of how to keep a relationship healthy, intimate and passionate.

Silly little games that bond two people together, private jokes and shared experiences. Yes, it sometimes comes at the expense of making some third party look like a clown, but hey 😂

Erm.

The thing is, we know how the story ends. And it's not healthy...

You know their relationship doesn't work out, right? 🤣

Do we? No one but the writers know. We know she’s not in Breaking Bad, which means something happens but who knows what.

And I don’t mean literally that you need to scam people to build a healthy relationship 🤦‍♀️

But I love that they truly work on those shared experiences together that are far, far more meaningful than just going through the hum drum routines of day to day life in terms of having fun together.

you know and I know It is more likely to be a tragedy that ends it than ‘this isn’t working for me’.

Although we know it won't end well, I think it's probably one of the most realistic depictions of a relationship in recent TV shows/films. I absolutely love Better Call Saul. I'll go ahead and say it - I think it's better than Breaking Bad.

Me too, I definitely prefer it. I dont see them as a realistic couple though. They dont seem to fit somehow
