    Breaking Bad and Game of Thrones

    Couldn’t get past a season and the fandoms are just obnoxious.

      I really like (most of) game of thrones, but it’s a tough watch at times for sure. Breaking Bad on the other hand seemed to be nothing but a tough watch. Stopped watching when the mom starts smoking while pregnant. It was just too much, unrelenting misery for me. I can see it’s a really well made show, that deserves the praise, but I just can’t stomach it.

      It feels like all the breaking bad characters were designed to be the heel. I couldn’t stand any of them, and if I can’t stand any of the characters, why would i bother continuing watching the show?

        I also didn’t like Breaking Bad (just finished it recently) - I don’t know if it’s because people kept hyping it up - but I do love Succession and that is another show where all characters are equally dislikable and I still liked them for it. So I guess Breaking Bad just isn’t it for me.

      The first season of breaking bad is pretty slow, and the show runners really like the pattern of a slow start with an intense finish to each season. It gets better, but if you don’t like a slow burn it’s not worth the effort.
