re: Why do we hate Skyler White with such purple passion?

Just finished my first viewing of the series last night. Overall, I liked that they had reasonably good closure to the series without leaving too much hanging.

I think the point of the show title and characters is that EVERYONE has their "breaking bad" moment(s) at some point in what we see of their lives. I would have liked to see Marie get her comeuppance, but as in life not everyone pays the price on the schedule we would like. The only fully sympathetic character is Holly.
