My four biggest problems with this show (spoilers... i guess....)

1. It's so slow.

It's just so slow. Walter does something "amazing" in one ep, then it's just five more episodes of him being whipped by his wife and her being all like "what are you DOING? where are you going!??!". When she eventually finds out, it's like, no big deal she just finds a way to deal with it and accept it.

2. Not one single openly gay character.

Gus is often speculated to be gay. But hey guess what, the rest of the show has no-one who's gay.
I know there's not exactly a lot of gay guys who get involved in the violent world of drug dealing but still.. if you could just throw one in there somewhere to acknowledge we exist that might be more befitting of the supposedly best show "of all time" (that phrase is so annoying). Instead we got Jesse's few tidbits of casual homophobia (yes I know that was accepted in 2009-2013 and I am not a snowflake and I can take it)

3. Walter Jr. is an insult to disabled people and he's a token character.

How come he never gets a girlfriend in 5 whole seasons?
He was actually good looking, just like Hank said in the beginning. Even if he just got some girl then she left, it would be better than nothing. It's pathetic. He exists as nothing but a one-note character for 5 whole seasons. Incredibly lazy writing with no character development. Jesus christ. Awful.

4. Lack of variety/new characters.
Once Walter meets Gus there's pretty much only 5 or 6 main characters for 3 whole seasons. It's the slowest ever game of "cat and mouse" between Hank and Walter. I mean I was like... "we get it, Hank doesn't know, even though he talks to Walt every day! HAHAHA!"

I dare you to say something that actually proves me wrong instead of just calling me names or questioning my approach to the show or whatever.

Wants at least one gay character. Complains about Walter Jr for being one token disabled character. What? Would that gay character not also be a token character?

I'm pretty sure if RJ Mitte (who played Walter Jr and actually has cerebral palsy) thought his character was an insult to disabled people, he wouldn't have taken the job. He tries to specifically look for acting opportunities that can help educate viewers on the disability which made him want to audition for Breaking Bad.

So tired of people getting offended on behalf of other people that aren't actually offended themselves.

Haha... oh yeah that's a really brilliant point there. Everyone knows 16 year old males are always putting morals before money! If you offer them serious cash to just sit in front of a camera for 5 years eating breakfast they'll say "I've got to run that one through my ethical calculator first!" hahahahah! You're hilarious! He wouldn't have done anything that would have offended the "disabled community" (because we all know what a massive force they were in society in 200-and-fucking-8.....)

So... you agree with me that every non-Muslim who ever used the words "islamophobe" and "racist" against me should be jailed and tortured.

Thanks for the support.

Because you know RJ Mitte personally huh? You know exactly why he took the job? Are you disabled, or do you just like being outraged because being an SJW is fun for you? I wouldn't be the least bit surprised if your name happened to be Karen.

You're not even bringing up more points to dispute what I said in response to your initial post. Come back when you have evidence to back yourself up.

You're trying so hard to put words in my mouth that I so obviously didn't say. I can't even fathom your idiocy. I said "I'm tired of people being offended on behalf of other people who aren't offended themselves" not "people who are offended on behalf of others should be tortured." That's a massive leap. Fucking dumbass. 😂😂

People can call you a racist or islamophobe without being upset on behalf of Muslims, if you're a racist or islamophobe and they're just pointing out facts. Which you bringing that up specifically makes me think you are so I don' t think you can complain about anything regarding this show and how it represents different types of people.

"if you're a racist or islamophobe and they're just pointing out facts."

You wouldnt know a fact if it conquered your country, raped your mother and sister and beheaded you with a rusty scimitar, you clueless dork. Go back to your videogames.

You just called me an SJW and also a racist in the same. Fucking. Post. How insane and deluded do you have to be to do that?

Oh wait, "liberal" people are that deluded... I mean, they think "LBGTQ+" and ISISlam can "co-exist" on the same fucking land.

Trust me dude, your little righteous rant is absolutely fucking USELESS and I have read a 1,000,000 other dorks just like you, type the same bunch of bullshit. Go back to waiting for your magical reward to the sky for all the time you've spent kissing up to cavemen and calling them misunderstood multicultural geniuses. You are definitely NOT martin fucking luther king. Get lost.

lol.... DORK!

I am guessing they matured a bit and realized how moronic they were previously.
