    I hate watching shows where you’re supposed to hate everyone. BB is one of those shows. Like how is that entertainment?

      I agree about the fact that watching those type of shows is not enjoyable. But not everyone feels that way about Breaking Bad, including me. Yes the main characters do a lot of wrongs, but the writers do a good job at showing their humanity and didn’t portray them as “evil” people.

          do you make fun of your shows and shout “no don’t go in there” and whatnot and have puppet shows during breaks and pretend you are a little robot stuck in space (go watch Mystery Science Theater 3000 seriously) or do you sit in silence and enjoy cinema as critics and only the snootiest frenchmen demand cinema to be experienced? they’re both valid and fun, just y’know, they’re very different experiences

          the mst3k experience is a little more fun for watching shows with hateable characters

            My wife and I complain about shows constantly (I’m talking about the shows and movies we like!), pausing to point out every little thing, and I’m in absolutely no way a movie critic, in fact I hate most shows that critics like. If I was to watch a show where I hated every character I would be pausing every five seconds (this isn’t hyperbole, I’m being serious it would be every five seconds) to complain more and more. The show isn’t enjoyable when there’s literally zero reason to like anyone in it.
