I mean the next most sympathetic character after Jesse is Hank and she turned on him too

I think the only person in the entire series who is completely blameless is Walt Jnr (and even then he's a dick to Skyler quite often) but the hate Skyler got was so bad Anna Gunn ended up writing an open letter to fans to address the fact.

She's not perfect, but in a series of imperfect people she's not even in the top 10 arseholes on display.

Holly was more blameless than Jnr. ;)

Marie is probably the worst person in BB, just for her obsession with purple if nothing else.

True.

So we are agreed that Tuco was the only decent person in the show.

Perhaps not even worthy of full sympathy? ;)

By the end of the series if you're not sympathetic towards Skyler, sat alone in a 2 room budget apartment chain-smoking while her disabled son returns home alone and her baby daughter sleeps in a threadbare cot, then you're either a psychopath or literally a neo-nazi who keeps young men in cages.

trufax.

Hank is the best character and the one with whom all and any sympathy must lie.

Hank :wub:

I feel sorry for the kids

Skyler got off pretty lightly all things considered

Jesse dining with the Whites :slol:

The more I watch this more I am puzzled by all the WW/Heisenberg tat I saw years ago; the guy is a monumental pos, why would you want his mug all over your clobber?


We watched it again recently and yeah, this.

My favourite coffee shop in Manchester has his face covering half their wall and I just wonder...why? Walt is such a hateful, disgusting character by the end. But of course we all know why: people who haven't seen or vaguely remember the show putting a character they see as the epitome of edgy cool on a pedestal. Same thing happened with Scarface. Both that and BB are morality tales showing the downfall of, if not decent men then not actively evil ones, into chaos and ruin but all people took from them in the long run was the "One who knocks" speech and Tony Montana with a grenade launcher.

BB is strawberry floating amazing though.



Tony Montana is a scumbag from the start in Scarface. He kills people for money.

I thought first season Hank had racist undertones. But they didn't go in that direction at all. He's a real grey character. He does some shitty things.

Breaking Bad is the best show I've ever watched. It's brilliantly strong the whole way through. I'm still conflicted on some characters.

And the Fly episode is strawberry floating amazing. strawberry float the haters.

I agree. Had so many arguments with people who thought it was gooseberry fool but I felt it was an important moment in Walt and Jesse’s relationship and showed a glimpse of Walts obsessive nature shining through. Foreshadowed that he wouldn’t give up even when he had the chance.
