The number of people who complain about how terrible the characters on Girls are yet have never voiced the same complaint about the characters of Breaking Bad is remarkable.

I must have missed critics and fans of Breaking Bad portraying it as a smartly written, groundbreaking show that accurately reflects a generational experience. Sorry about that.

walter white had a lot of characterization during that show. go watch episode one and the first half of the last season and tell me that there is no difference. jesse was hystrionic at times, but had ebbs and flows. skylar, too.

hank, flynn, marie, and some others (HUELLLL) didn't really do much...but don't claim there was no characterization in BB

plus, when Girls ran out of material last year and they basically just made Hannah completely psychotic overnight, they jumped the shark. this was like the 18th episode of the series, and they were already jumping the shark. that's what you call amazing writing

Walker White and Jesse Pinkman (the two main characters definitely have redeeming qualities in that, walter originally had good intentions. We can relate to the fact that he started something thinking he was doing it for one reason and realizing he was doing it for the self-satisfaction. If anyone on this board says they havent done something like that or felt that way then they are liars)

I never heard one of the leads in Breaking Bad refer to themselves as the voice of a generation
