#3 is correct! I was probably more invested in Jesse in seasons 2-4, but honestly by the final season (this may sound bad!), his character had started to become a bit too much of a sad sack for me... I still liked his character, but I felt like the writers were milking how tragic his life was a little too much, so his character just became frustrating to watch

Yeah, Jesse started rubbing me wrong at the end of S3, tbh. His obsession with the kids just put me off him. I can almost pinpoint it right at Andrea suddenly becoming a person to him when he found out about Brock.

I normally like the sad puppy dog characters, but I must confess that by the time by season 5B I was kind of feeling like enough already, and I didn't always like how the writing felt quite calculated to me to make us constantly feel bad for Jesse and take his side, even though he was in just as deep as the rest of them. I mean yeah having more of a conscience than Walt and Mike is great and all, but I refuse to start seeing him as the shows ~conscience~ because he starts throwing guilt money out the window, as opposed to taking a real stand and contacting the muredered little boys parents. I felt like the show had no illusions about Walt's character, but there was a feeling that I was supposed to see Jesse as a better person than he actually was?

Also, to me, his conscience was a little selective, tbh. Like, he conveniently forgot that Gus ordered a kid killed the second he started favoring him.

But yeah, general agreement. It seemed like they had him feel guilty, but only in certain situations.

Right, and how terrible it was that Mike's granddaughter wasn't going to profit off Mike's drug money, even though the little boy on the bike died because of that very drug operation that had earned him that money

Jesse was such an emotion-based character, it did work for me more in earlier seasons like I said, but eh by the time of season 5 (especially the second half) I was getting a little impatient with him in certain scenes
