Am I the only one in the world that hates Breaking Bad?

I didn't like the first season of BB at all. But stuck with it and was completely captivated in S2.

Funny I watched on DVD. We had moved and the cable hook up was 5 days away. My husband picked up 2 seasons from the $5 bin at store just to have something to watch. I probably would have given up S 1 if I had other options.

The first time I ever saw it, I happened to walk by the TV when DH was watching BB, the train robbery episode where Todd kills the kid, Drew, on his bike. OMG, I had to watch it. It looked incredibly evil, but by the reactions of Walt, and Jesse in particular, I knew this was an artform. I've rewatched it 3 times. Best Show Ever!

I despise BB so dumb so over done so, so dumb.

I hated it too, watched a few seasons but couldn’t make myself watch the rest. Although someone here will argue “that’s what drug dealing is like,” some of the constant violence felt gratuitous. Definitely a guy show.

I loved The Wire but hated Breaking Bad. Maybe because The Wire at least had some (flawed) good characters.

Agree it’s not just a guy show—so many of us women are saying that we loved it. Actually my husband wasn’t blown away by it like I was.

I’m a Black woman who was sucked in during episode 1, season 1.

One of my faves.

Same here.

I liked it better after the first season. I liked Better Call Saul better, though.

I hate Breaking Bad. I grew up in a family with multiple uncles who dealt drug. It's not a fun watch for me.

Breaking Bad isn’t about drugs. And it’s most certainly not a guy show. I really don’t understand people who reduce it to that. It’s fine if you didn’t like it but saying it’s a show about drugs and drug people or saying it’s a guy show is just silly.
It’s like those who won’t watch Friday Night Lights because “I don’t like football”. Again, very silly.

S1E1 was one of the best hours of television in history. Brilliant.
