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

We love getting into a good series but I for the love of movies, never understood this show. Tried to watch it again the other night and just couldn't get into it. What is the deal? How/why is this so popular? I have really enjoyed many other series but this was torture. What am I missing other than Bryan Cranston being a great actor?

How far into it have you gotten?

I think it was like 5 shows into season 1 and I had to go to the other room and watch another show...husband kept watching it.

I couldn’t get into it either.

I’ve heard that men tend to like it much more than women. I watched the first season and liked it but never had a huge desire to watch more.

I’m a woman and loved that show. Complex human and family relationships and a fascinating glimpse of descent into evil that can happen to the average person.

Same. Hate it. Have tried multiple times.

Another hater here. I tried it with my DH but I only made the first 15-20 minutes and was like NO. NEVER AGAIN.

Takes a particular mind-set. Also I think it is a male-skewing show.

+1. Another woman who loved it. Have probably rewatched a billion times since COVID started. That and a few others are my standbys on rotation for when I just want something kinda on in background without having to pay too much attention. It’s just a really well-made show and effing hilarious much of the time too. I guess it depends on your humor and taste though.

Also didn’t love it. The characters make such terrible decisions that it’s hard to identify with them. Like when Jessie got chained up and forced to make meth. Come on.

Yep, and I can’t wait for another season of Better Call Saul. Now Game of Thrones I did not like. Gratuitous sex and violence I thought.

That’s how I felt about the Wire. Oh well. Sometimes a show just doesn’t work for you.

I thought the photography had a lot to do with liking Breaking Bad. Also Jessie. Skyler was so easy to dislike.

Yes, me too. Hated Breaking Bad, and hated The Wire. Shows for men.
