738334, I still love it but feel it's a little less convincing than previous seasons.

Like I spoke with someone (maybe you ?) above, I'm not buying Gus convincing Mike to join the dark side just based on that one word: revenge. Thought that was almost a lazy storyline.

I'm also sorta not buying Kim marrying Jimmy after what he did, especially not based on some flimsy "just tell me the truth about your work" shit that she knows he won't hold to.

Both hooks seem lazy to me.

Those are major gripes but I still am enjoying the season. The writing is still pretty impeccable and there's still a lot to like about what they're doing with the camerawork in various scenes and things like that. I'm just not totally sold on those two plot points considering how important they are.
