    Jesse is what killed it for me. He was tolerable and even decent in the first season but after that I just started to increasingly loathe him more and more until the point I couldn’t even stomach the idea of watching another episode. I loved everything else about the show too so it’s unfortunate.

      Jesse’s supposed to be a complete dipshit but he has a really good redemption by the end in my opinion

        That was my problem with the show too.

        Smart person decides to cook meth…

        Step 1: Partner with complete dipshit

        Step 2:

        Step 3: Profit

        It’s not hard to cook meth especially if you have a science background.

        EVERYTHING in the show is there to make cooking meth harder because if it wasn’t hard it would be a completely boring story.

      For me it was Skyler, I know she’s not supposed to be likeable but that doesn’t excuse it for me.

      I hate her character and she makes the show just unpleasant for me.

      I did finish breaking bad though, about it being the best show of all time is not something I agree with. it’s alright

        I hated Skyler the first time I watched it. The second time through, I felt a lot more sympathy for her character.

          Nice, she’s been the reason I never attempted a rewatch. Maybe I should give it a try

        I think Skyler is pretty universally disliked. I thought the kid was annoying too which pretty much undermines the whole premise of the show.

          I didn’t mind the kid too much, I think it helps the plot because it becomes easier to see that for Walter it’s all about his ego

          His kid also contrasts Jesse who’s basically the child Walter always wanted, witty and smart in ways Walter isn’t.

      Same. His character just kept getting more and more annoying the whole time I watched.
