The axe that clears the forest
Anyone who spells "asshole" the way you do shouldn't be calling anyone out on anything, frankly.No. I thought it was all real and I called the police on him after I saw that, but they said I watch too much TV. What do you think, genius??
Yea, it was his turning point into becoming a murderer. My point is, I can't watch a show if I can't root for the protagonist. I gave it a shot, but I just don't like the main character. He is a selfish, stupidly prideful a$$whole that eventually turns into an evil murderer and hurts those who he pretends to care about. His whole reason for getting involved in the drug business was to provide for his family and pay his cancer treatment bills. His college buddy offered him a high-paying job that would have solved all those problems completely legally and hassle-free, not to mention would have provided a much better life for his wife and son.
Instead, because of his stupid pride, he chooses a life of drug dealing and murder, involving his wife in it as well. And you just know this is not going to end well for his family, no matter how the series ends. There is no deep character development here, nothing to root for, nothing to be fascinated about. Just a bitter, selfish man who makes all the wrong choices and screws up everybody's life.
But seriously...that's the point of the show. It's not like every other show. Walt isn't a good person, I agree. Also....if you don't like the show and no longer watch it, why are you commenting on a thread about it? Some of us (like myself) love the fucking show. And did you really say there's "no deep character development"? Are you serious?!
