I do know what I am missing.

Immoral and Amoral characters. Gory violence. Meaningless sex and nudity. Lots and lots of foul language.

did I miss anything?

Interesting that the one who brought Walt into the mess has been desperately trying to get himself out.

Yes, but is it diversified? Are there Negro, Chinaman, lesbian and gayish characters in it? Disabled-Americans are a must!

Haven't watched it. My favorite is NCIS and there one also gets to know each character over the seasons. I especially like Ziva and Tony. Actually have seasons 1 through 10. Great series.

We all need an occasional escape from the real world madness surrounding us every day. This excellently written and acted series has been mine. I’ll miss it when it’s over.

And Cranston IS Walter White!!!

Some regular, straight-laced guy is dying of cancer or some such and turns into an evil meth manufacturer/dealer.

Sick of seeing men who are old enough to know better sporting bizarre facial hair.

Now I read the Forbes article.

I see the connection to the Godfather.

Michael Corleone wanted to save his family. But by doing so, he destroyed it.

Walter White want to save his family. He starts cooking meth so he can leave his family with something when he’s gone. In doing so, he destroys them.

Powerful stuff, man.

I watched a coupled of episodes. It had a problem. When a show has no characters that I have any attachment to, I lose interest.

I lost interest.

Yes, yes you are missing much.

No meaningless sex or nudity. Just the human sole laid bare.

Look on my works, ye mighty, and despair!’
