I don’t blame you for not being able to watch a show without any sympathetic characters. I’m the same way. But I disagree about Breaking Bad not having any sympathetic characters though. I felt like it did. Yes, they were doing heinous stuff. But I feel like they did a good job at showing the main characters’ humanity despite the poor choices they have made.
But I do understand why you would see it the way you do. Shows resonate differently for different people.
Exactly, well written, well acted but the absence of sympathetic protagonists killed it for me. I just couldn’t care.

I liked that they weren’t afraid to have the main character so unlikable. It also made more sense after I realized it was a Neo-Western.
