Season Review
Season 3 brings the brothers to court: Chuck versus Jimmy, with Kim caught between, and the show’s debut of Gus Fring tying the prequel thread to its parent. The Chicanery courtroom episode. Chuck unraveling on the stand, exposed by a battery in his pocket, is one of the great TV hours of the decade, and its aftermath (Chuck’s exit, the lantern) is devastating.
