This show is supposed to be about the journey to become Saul. Jimmy when we meet him in this show is not a psychopath. Sleazy. petty criminal and he does or did care about people. Your post stated he was a psychopath because he was always slipping Jimmy. We just saw him pretty much turn the corner, complete when he pisses off Kim - as he will have no real relationships.
Oh, he was absolutely a psychopath. He's a thief. A liar. A scammer. He scammed his parents out of their (house? business?)...that was in there in the first season. It evens shows you how little kid Jimmy saw his dad being scammed in his family story...and identified with the scammer.
Whether or not he realized it or accepted it or fully embraced is the question; it's not Slippin' Jimmy
becoming a psychopath, it's Slippin' Jimmy
facing it and becoming Saul Goodman. But honestly it's becoming a bit trite.
Jimmy's got his "Nobody's going to give me a fair shot! Whaaaaaaa! I might as well be the bad guy!" origin moment.
Mike got his transition from hardboiled ex-cop to cold-blooded narco enforcer moment. Werner only existed to give Mike a genuine friend to blow away and show us his turning point.
Yeah, Lalo, Nacho and Kim. The new stories within this world are much stronger than the backstories spun off from BB imho. Those are the ones I'm really interested in.
*edit* And props to the creators for giving Mike McKean a chance to sing. Here's a tribute to Chuck:
