Yeah actually after posting something about Breaking Bad being good a couple weeks ago, I tried to rewatch it this week, and it's tough. It's entirely out of touch with its own subject matter and has a, for lack of a better term, D.A.R.E.-washed view of not only drugs but drug users and people who sell drugs. It feels a little bit like a weird caricature of "drugs" drawn by one of those racist caricature artists. I also found it strange in retrospect how little time it spends acknowledging all of the countless lives Walt destroyed offscreen by flooding the local meth markets of small-town New Mexico with easily-accessible supply. Plus it has that whole thing of having to be on Cable TV and dance its way around profanity and stuff that makes a lot of the conversations feel like awkward stilted things written by a church group.
