Better Call Saul's Most Tragic Character - Howard Hamlin

#bettercallsaul #breakingbad #bettercallsaulseason6

In this video, I take a look at season 6 of Better Call Saul and the death of Howard Hamlin. Vince Gilligan and Peter Gould's cinematography and writing made Better Call Saul's ending that much better, but Howard's writing might be the most tragic. This is Better Call Saul's most tragic character.

Howards death was genuinely the most surprising death in the series to me, the moment felt so real, the acting was amazing in that scene

What I think makes the feud between Jimmy and Howard hit so hard is that Jimmy does this because he thinks Howard can’t change when in fact he can, while Howard believes Jimmy can change when in fact he can’t. Their whole conflict is based on the fact they’re unable to understand one another

[aceyspud]

Howard was the only one who went to a therapist.

Nuff said.

What made me sad while watching Better Call Saul was when I saw the private life of Howard. Your job can suck, that's fine.. as bad as it sounds. Guess we all have times in our lives where our job is hell. But when you come home after work and even your "family life" sucks.. that's truly tragic and made me feel for him.❤

The most heartbreaking scene in this series isn't Howard's Death.
It was when he put all the effort to make a coffee for his wife with care and affection, but all she did was to put all that in a tumbler.
That scene broke my heart.

[autonomous]

I gotta say. The most heart breaking scene for me wasn't when Howard was shot, but the episode that came after when you see Howard's shoes by the ocean, and it really sinks in. They destroyed this man's life, reputation, career, kill him, and framed it so that it looks like he committed suicide. In just a few seconds of intro, without a word or dialogue, we're told so much from that scene.

I like how Howard does not freak out at all in the series, he seems to always think before he speaks.. So thoughtful and methodical

[JohnSmith-wjwd]

An extra thing of tragedy was that in Howard's last sentence, he speaks as if he's about to plead to save Saul and Kim's life, thinking that Lalo is out to get them. Despite his conflict with them and everything they pulled on him, he still tried to defend them not knowing he was the one about to get shot.

Howard and Nacho are two most tragic characters on two different side of the law

[benevolutionary]

what really broke me was seeing the several images of a smiling Howard at his funeral, images of him at the beach just happy as can be. it was such an unbelievably needless death. i just finished the series with my boyfriend a few days ago, and this is the part that's still lingering with me the most. Howard was definitely the most tragic character. rest well, Howard, you didn't deserve any of it 💔

[BareBandSubscription]

Easily the most tragic character, and BY FAR the most misunderstood. How anyone ever “hated” this guy after the first season is beyond me, especially after Chuck’s death. He tolerated so much cruelty and was practically saintly at turns in the later seasons. Howard haters make no sense.

[jankopransky]

I rooted for Jimmy/Saul for most of the time. Until he and Kim destroyed Howard. That made them villains in my eyes.

[mbanerjee]

Howard is the brother Chuck wishes he had. And everyone on the show pay the price for it.

Howard was the best of both McGills. We are lead to believe Howard was product of nepotism but he did succeed on his own merit. Howard had Chuck's professionalism but he also had Jimmy's charisma. He never does anything immoral or illegal but ends up sharing a grave with Lalo.

[outloat]

saddest part is that his last action was trying to bargain for saul and kim’s safety

[Onaterdem]

I was honestly so relieved when Kim came forward at the end of S6.

Howard honestly deserved NONE of this, yet it all felt so real, like there are people who undeservingly have their lives ruined IRL, similar to him. And there 100% are. It felt so sad. So tragic. When Kim finally came forward and spoke the honest truths, it felt like a cold breeze after a terrible summer day.

[wacktastic]

Jimmy doesn’t hate Howard, he hates Chuck. Everything he thinks of Howard is actually how he thinks of his brother. Jimmy just can’t admit it. He still idolizes his brother. He can’t admit that his brother was terrible to him.

[sarahreynolds]

Howard is so poorly done-over by both the McGill brothers, and he really tried at various points to help them both. It's a heart-breaking arc that Patrick Fabian is never going to get the credit he deserves for.

[CuriousPug]

Nacho and Howard are the two most tragic stories in BCS/BB universe

[Carl_JohnsonGSF]

I honestly lost all simpathy for Jimmy and Kim after what they done to Howard
