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".

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
