No, I wasn't.

It was so crassly manipulative, Walt ok then oh dear bad stuff happens to Walt because of the meth. Up down up down. Because METH is Bad people.

And he is so so vile in his white underpants. WHY did we have to keep seeing him in his pants?

I watched it on Netflix and I was really not that impressed. I had no empathy for any of the characters except maybe Jesse because he was cute, I thought Walt was a twat from almost the very beginning. He has no redeeming qualities.

FreudiansSlipper · 27/11/2013 22:42

but you watched it. did you watch the whole series?

it shows the complexities of humans who would think a nice guy like Walt would get a kick out of being a criminal, having that power, it giving him confidence that he has not had before and being turned on by it all

i think it is great i am on series 3

Yabu it was a great show. Bit tired towards the end. Ended ok. Brilliant in the beginning & bits in the middle. Loved how they got you rooting for the bad guy. It was all so ambivalent & yet not.

Well cast, scripted & plotted.

AryaofhouseQuark · 27/11/2013 22:42

It was worth it just to gaze in to Jesse's beautiful blue eyes, and dream of nuzzling him in to my blossom.

I like Skyler and Marie, ok the purple was a bit excessive, other than that they were perfectly nice people. [glares]

I'm like that too Hully.

Which is why I'm now watching S6 of Dexter, another shite and overrated mess of a show.
