    Same, why do people like watching shows where you hate everyone? There’s no one to sympathize with!

      You sympathize with aspects of each character and synpathize with different struggles.

      Everyone has done something wrong in real life, and I like seeing that represented in a show.

      Jesse is the good guy of Breaking Bad, imo. Dude’s worst crimes are being addicted to meth and listening to Walt’s advice. Hard to feel hate toward a pawn.

        I never make it to that point, because if there’s only one redeemable quality of each character there’s literally no reason to watch the show at all. I want entertainment, not to be reminded of how shit people are.

        I guess assassinating the other chemist qualifies as “listening to Walt’s advice”, but murder is technically his worst crime.
