No, Howard Hamlin Was Never A Villain In Better Call Saul (& 1 Detail Proves It)

[هَـ-ђāŵĩ-ـَاوِيتم التحقق من هَـ-ђāŵĩ-ـَاوِي كعضو.]

Patrick Fabian recently denied that his Better Call Saul character is a villain, and the actor is right to defend Howard Hamlin from such accusations. Howard isn't the most likable character in the Breaking Bad prequel, but he's far from intentionally cruel or evil. Despite this, it seems viewers are labeling Howard as villainous because he's an antagonist to Jimmy McGill and Kim Wexler. Given Breaking Bad's focus on morally dubious leads, it's hard to equate antagonists with all-out villains in the AMC franchise.
