Boils back to the same thing. Not everybody is into breaking good as entertainment. I tried watching an episode of Touched by an Angel once and almost developed diabetes, that kind of sickening sweet entertainment just makes me ill. I like mob movies, I like heavy metal, I like things that reflect the darker version of reality I see, actually I like things DARKER than the world I see, makes my world lighter and happier by comparison. Nothing cheers me up like a Lou Reed song about somebody ODing, it gives voice to my own pessimism and leaves it feeling spent and satisfied so I get to have less “back chat”.
And with something like BB, which is so much about repercussions, helps restore a sense of fairness to the world, where I see a lot of people NOT facing repercussions for what they’ve done (yet, I hope) I at least get to see Walter White have his world destroyed in a way he so richly deserves.
I still have a soft spot for ‘Little House on the Prarie’.
