I resisted “Breaking Bad” out of sheer hatred for drugs, drug manufacturers, and dealers. But I broke down and watched it — indeed, it was amazing. I also watched Season 1 of Narcos which was fascinating, too. Unfortunately, Narcos is now playing throughout Mexico, close to home.
I had the same attitude more or less as you and refused to watch BB I watch very little TV except sports, history and cartoons. My girlfriend kept bugging me to watch it so after the shows stopped running I bought a dvd and was blown away.
It was then buying them all and binge watching.
How can you not like a show where the “hero” is standing in the road in his underwear with a 45 waiting for an expected showdown with the cops?
