Naw I like it...I have no problem with people liking it. I'm just surprised that it did so well.
Why Were People Hyping Up Breaking Bad?

How is the characters being like able or not like able not related to show quality?Eh....well....where to begin.
First off, whether or not the characters are likeable is in no way related to the quality of the show. If you dislike the show cool....but you aren't bringing any kind of tangible complaints to the table. "All the characters are unlikeable"....ok, and? Give me something to discuss here.
Andat "it's annoying they have all this money and don't do shyt with it". Them living large as drug dealers ain't the point of the show.

LOOK AT WHAT A SPECIAL SNOWFLAKE OP IS FOR HAVING A MINORITY OPINION ABOUT A POPULAR SHOW!! WHAT ELSE MAKES YOU DIFFERENT AND SPECIAL, OP???
"The Wire" is "The Wire" for white people. White critics are one of the main reasons more people heard about it, because nobody was watching that shyt on HBO.

Because the show is amazing. Season 1-5 have all been outstanding. Just the first 3 episodes are a great story arc so many other shows wouldn't have been able to pull of. The fact that you can't see how amazing this show is after all the development the characters have received is ridiculous. I mean this show has episodes like "One Minute", "4 Days Out", "Half Measures", "Fly", and "Phoenix" and you can't see the greatness?!
(Also I'm one of the few people who really enjoyed the characters of Marie and Skyler, don't really see the problem with them.)

You're obviously trying to make it seem like you hold some sort of special opinion that's more valid than others by making the thread. If you can't see why it's a good show, I'll honestly assume that you're incapable of seeing it at all, ever.I don't recall saying I was so different or special in this thread.

How is it? In terms of anything?
How is the acting? The cinematography? The pacing? The character arcs? The story?
These are things that could potentially affect the quality of a show....not how much you'd like to be a characters friend. This is especially ironic for "Breaking Bad", since the entire point of the show is to turn Walt into the antagonist.
I hate Livia Soprano and Marlo Stansfield, but am I gonna hold it against "The Sopranos" or "The Wire"? Hell no. Not all characters are meant to be liked. Hell, not everyone is likeable in real life all the time, either.

I just started watching the show on netflix I'm at season 4 now it's a decent show but not really a great show. Most of the characters are annoying. At some point in time all of them are annoying.And it's starting to get real annoying that they have all this money but don't do shyt with it really. What's the point if you can't enjoy the money just a little?
I'm surprised so many people like it so much.
It's ok but not great.
And Jesse and Walter/Heisenberg would have been dead from the beginning.

I'm stating my opinion. If you can't handle it than fine. I never said I didn't like the show. You should try reading it and be less emotional in your responses.

I didn't say I wanted to be friends. Characters being likeable have a big part of a shows success.

No, it isn't. How old are you, 80? You sound out of touch as hell. The biggest shows, in terms of viewers/critical acclaim from the last 10+ years have all featured a ton of unlikeable characters....if not unlikeable/unsympathetic main characters.
"The Sopranos", "Mad Men", "Dexter", "The Walking Dead", "Breaking Bad", "Boardwalk Empire", "House of Cards", "Homeland", "Game of Thrones", etc.
Womanizing ad execs, murderous mob bosses, serial killers, ruthless politicians, terrorists, drug lords, etc.
If you haven't turned your TV on in 20 years I could maybe understand this being a culture shock. This trend has been going on a long, long time.
Viewers are not so simple minded nowadays that they need to like characters to like a show.

That's your opinion. You have people that will completely stop watching a show or a movie based off of a simple plot hole or scene that they didn't like. There is also plenty of people who will stop watching a show based off of awful characters . I'm not saying I'm one of them but some people do think like this.
