One of my favorite shows ever, but Walter was one of the biggest pieces of shit lol. I guess I can say I rooted for him when it came to going after Todd’s crew at the end, but he deserved everything bad that happened to him otherwise.

I don’t know why so many people hate it. I thought it was really gripping. Sure, some of the characters were pretty stupid. I hated Jesse, and Hank missed some pretty obvious signs. The real DEA would have caught Walter by the end of the first season. Some parts were a bit dragged out, But regardless I found it entertaining. I was definitely rooting for Walter at certain points.

All the characters just felt like sad upsetting people and I wound up disliking Walt because it was clear his ego was gonna get him killed. Especially after he killed the dude he was supposed to train.

Fair. Although Gus wanted Gale to replace Walter because Walter was a bit of a liability. So for Walter, it was kill or be killed.

I know that this is like, the point of the show or whatever but it just makes me grumbly because I feel like if Walt was just 10% less of an asshole, 10% more humility. He could have had a perfectly successful criminal career and made out like a fucking bandit. But he was all like oh I’m Heisenberg bro and look where it fucking got him.
It just felt unsatisfying. I wanted to like Breaking Bad, I acknowledge that it’s well crafted, I just didn’t enjoy it. You can think something is a quality product but not personally enjoy it.

But it was never about the money. It was about his desire to realize his potential and feel like he was in control of his own life.

I don’t hate it, I just never got into it. I watched a few episodes which didn’t really do it for me, and I just didn’t really feel any need to continue it.
