I agree that breaking bad was an excellent show. But I can also say it's perfectly understandable why anyone wouldn't enjoy it.
All the characters in it are flawed far beyond even reality, they're each pretty much disgusting in their own ways and the frequent moments of slow pacing just leaves you stewing in how pathetic and lamentable pretty much everyone is. It's a tragedy in the true classical sense, you're supposed to feel bad after watching it. And it's a good show because it succeeds at just that. The best description I have of the experience of watching it is "grimly satisfying"
I struggled to get into it just because of how fucking infuriatingly awful the Wife was. Like, everyone else's flaws are at least compelling enough and evoke interest in seeing what happens. Hers just make me wish the scene ended already.
And, I'm told she only gets worse as the show goes on. Which means I never was able to keep watching either.
Jenny you could almost make a case for being a "victim" in the background. Its retarded and doesn't absolve her, but she does at least suffer.
I think the first handful of episodes of Breaking Bad is literally just watching the Wife be an actual piece of shit for zero reason. Yet all I hear from women and simps is "she was suffering from his actions too!"
When afaik, he was an innocent and loving man until the show started proper while she was clearly emotionally and mentally abusing him based on how little he reacts to her on screen bullshit.
