Breaking Bad. I'm sure it's an entirely entertaining experience, with danger and drama and all of that, but I'm too sensitive and easily bothered by great immorality, and honestly I'm also a bit too critical of male weakness... Like, Walter, either move to Europe or die, my guy. You're such a frail, ungrateful, unsatisfied b* that you have to do all of that?! I only watched an episode and a half because it's in my wife's top 3 but it wasn't for me, and not because it's a bad show... I just didn't agree with having to follow this guy, there are enough villains IRL.
My kids and spouse were in to BB, but I paid limited attention bc I wanted to watch it from the beginning.
About 18 months back, I started from the beginning.
Watched 4 episodes. Found it brutal to watch: the dialogue, acting, storyline - all sucked imo.
I know it got better, as I had glimpses of the last few seasons, but I couldn't be arsed to watch any more episodes waiting for it to get better, and I wonder how people did.
And it's so acclaimed too... I'm gonna be charitable and say something perhaps just isn't clicking with us. 🤷
Same, I have started this series two times and for whatever reason, it didn't click with me either. All my friends were like, "it is the best!"
