Me too.

Wow, it’s interesting how different shows resonate differently with different people. I was on the edge of my seat through the whole series.

I agree about the fact that watching those type of shows is not enjoyable. But not everyone feels that way about Breaking Bad, including me. Yes the main characters do a lot of wrongs, but the writers do a good job at showing their humanity and didn’t portray them as “evil” people.

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 thought it was a little too “Hollywood”.

By “still talks“, I mean, still talks in his autobiography, which was written years upon years later, when he was already supposedly sober and probably in his early 40s.

Here’s the thing though: he did mention it in his autobiography, which was written years later after this event happened. And his tone was still nonchalant. So whether he “regrets” ever mentioning it or not, it still doesn’t change the way with which he wrote about it when he was already in his early 40s.

I get it. And I think that’s what it was for people. But I still don’t fully “get” it because it was like any other rock stars autobiography: debauchery, sex, drug use. I guess people like reading about those.

Yea, I think that part is the worst. The fact that he still talks about it nonchalantly is gross.

Yes!!! The biggest red flag is not that it happened, it’s his tone of recalling these events.

I think it has more to do with the tone with which he recalls the incident. There is no regret or acknowledgment of how inappropriate that was.

Absolutely! I hear people saying about how good this autobiography is.  But I don’t know what the hell they’re talking about. It’s written in such a flat tone, it sounds like he was bored himself while writing it. 

I actually checked and you may be right.

I think there’s an extra chicken in the 2nd line.

Is the “just because we disagree on politics we can still get along” frame of mind generally a conservative thing? Because on one hand, it makes sense. On the other hand, I find it very difficult, for example, to look past the fact that some conservatives want to stop aid to Ukraine (as a Ukrainian living in the US).
