Why Were People Hyping Up Breaking Bad?

[61 Corpses]

No where near the level as The Wire

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.

It's not my opinion, it's reality. "BB" has a fukk ton of unlikeable characters....I agree....it still ended with 10.3 million viewers, earned a Guinness World Record for the highest rated show of all time, and took home the Emmy for Best Drama a couple months ago. None of this would be possible if quality was hinged on character likeability. Hell, "The Sopranos" would've never kicked off this golden age of TV if that were true.

Obviously there's people that will stop watching. What I'm saying is we've moved past the point as a society....where a show will live or die based on the characters not being likeable.

Season 5 is when it gets wild.

Season 4 is where the fukkery truly begins....Gustavo

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.)

"Fly" is hella overrated.

But "Salud", "Crawl Space" (best scene of the series ). "Dead Freight" (from to )....

And then there's "Ozymandias", the one that some people refer to as the GOAT television episode.

You could've said you hated the show, that wasn't even my point of contention. I was at you saying you didn't like it specifically because the characters weren't likeable, because that's been your sole complaint. If that's how you feel, it is what it is.

Y'all don't read. I'm basically saying the show has a lot of annoying elements to it but it also has some good elements. I said I was surprised it did so well.
