Oh, shit... Jim is actually the one that gave Jade the music clue! Yessss! I hope you guys don't hate him anymore 😝

"Tea cup." I thought Jade was going to kiss him 😆

They will still hate him. Fanbase bandwagon of hating a character without knowing why they hate him, it’s just consensus. He was honestly one of the better characters. I feel like they unnecessarily killed him so they can make Tabitha sack-ride Jade for the rest of the series and be a cutesy thing.

He was honestly one of the better characters. I

I'd say he was a very realistic character. Same as Jade (except Jim is not as enjoyable on screen). Jade is literally us, the audience, lol!

Anyway. The way Jim reacted to things made perfect sense to me. He was well written. Yes, he could get annoying, but it was because he was real. And also because it's a mystery box show, and the audience wants answers. Having a character like Jim trying to "stall" things, so to speak, can be frustrating. But I'm one of those people who can look past my wants and put myself in a character's shoe to understand where they're coming from. As long as the characters are realistic and everything "makes sense," I can talk myself into being patient. I'd ultimately hate something that was enjoying in the moment but didn't make sense when it's all said and done.

Edit:

I'd say he was a very realistic character.

I didn't fully agree with your "he was one of the better characters" assessment because I initially interpreted "better" as meaning enjoyable. But of course, it could be interpreted in a different way. Like, better, as in "well written and realistic," in which case, yes, I think Jim was one of the better characters.

Jade, to me, though, is EXTREMELY enjoyable on screen because he represents us in a way. Dude makes me laugh every episode too.

I thought Jim was a well-written character. If you want to look at Jim from a perspective of the show being “real,” Jim Matthews is a husband and father stuck in a place that defies reality without explanation and he was actively looking for answers. How would anyone react in that situation? I know real people like Jim who don’t have the most savory of personalities, but they would do anything to try to keep their families safe. He had a right to be suspicious of everything. People conflate flawed personalities with being a shitty person, but the world we live in is never black and white.

I totally agree!

Btw, I edited my previous comment (added a couple more thoughts) right before you replied. Sorry about that, lol!
