I only watched the show after it finished airing, and could never get into it because of how stupid Walter was. Just take the fucking money from the guy who betrayed you 30 years ago, literally who cares. It could all have been avoided trivially but no muh masculinity.
I understand it was a deliberate choice, I just found it frustrating and every time there was some new crisis I just thought "should've taken the money, huh". But this is mostly a personal hang-up about characters making choices that are obviously bad; I also disliked Uncut Gems for more or less the same reason.
Oh, me too. My wife and I are always like "just go cook the meth, idiot" when he's got that nice rig that Gus gives him in the laundry building. I get he wanted artistic license and a bigger piece of the pie or whatever, but ALL HE HAD TO DO was show up, punch in, cook that shit, go home. A million dollars a cook.

That's a feature, not a bug. So many people expect Scarface when they're watching it, but it's a show about how incompetent and proud this man is.
Same thing with the Skylar hate. "She's so annoying" is a take uttered by people with no analysis skills.
All that being said, Better Call Saul > Breaking Bad

You'd think he'd be happy just doing chemistry and getting paid
Better call saul > breaking bad if you need a nap
I like a good slow burn
