Kim Wexler is my favourite female character ever! (Who are some of your favourite female characters of all time?)

I just finished rewatching the whole show and came to the realization that I've never been this invested in, intrigued by and attached to a female character this much before. I'm talking both movies and TV, she is my favourite one ever put to screen. Maybe I gotta watch more shit or something or maybe its just recency bias but I dunno, I can't think of another example who I enjoy watching as much. I'd love to hear other people's opinions on favourite female characters in the comments but for me, Kim takes that spot. She's so well written, well acted, complex, interesting and just goddamn awesome. I love lots of female characters but there is just something different about her and I don't know how to explain it.

For me this show is the best on TV at the whole 'show rather than tell' concept and I think this is what really makes it such a strong character show. It takes its time to show us what makes Kim such a great lawyer, to explore the development of her relationship with Jimmy and we see how her goals and perspectives change throughout the show. For me it was season 4 that cemented it. Just so many great Kim moments throughout and she's come so far from her early days at HHM when we first meet her. I think I realized how invested I was in her during that argument scene on the roof of the parking lot in Season 4 Episode 9. One of my favourite scenes in the whole show but it just hurt me so much watching it. It's such a well written and well acted scene, you really understand both characters perspectives and they just feel like real people to me at this point. I know there's gotta be something bad coming for Kim and Jimmy's relationship considering she doesn't exist in the BB universe but I have so much trust in these writers and know it'll make for some phenomenal television! Holy shit, I can't wait for season 5!
