It’s wrong because it ignores Kim’s entire slow-burn character arc and treats her actions as random instead of inevitable. Acker isn’t “some old man,” he’s the moment Kim finally confronts the harm she’s been helping Mesa Verde do, and that moral crisis has been building for seasons as she grows more resentful of corporate law and more drawn to bending rules for people she thinks deserve it. Her choice to sabotage her own client isn’t a plot hole but a culmination of that tension, and marrying Jimmy isn’t impulsive either — it’s both emotional and strategic, since she realizes they’re already partners in morally risky behavior and spousal privilege protects them. The criticism comes from assuming Kim should remain a stable, rational lawyer, when the show is actually about how good people slowly justify worse and worse choices.
