    Exactly, well written, well acted but the absence of sympathetic protagonists killed it for me. I just couldn’t care.

      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.

      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.
