I didn’t make any judgements but I am not interested in watching a show about people making drugs or whatever

Superficially.

As Bernard Marx said, "Anyone who’s read Sophocles, Aeschylus or Euripides has known from the first season how the show would eventually unwind. It’s classic Greek tragedy. Walt suffers from the tragic flaw the Greeks called “hubris.” Kudos to Gilligan and crew for never shrinking from the terrible logic of Walt’s demise."

It’s not about the drugs.

It’s about what greed does to “good” people.

The drugs could have been substituted by any other product.

There’s a lot of crime behind bootleg designer handbags but who would watch a show about a guy who makes fake Guccis?
