Rather than portraying him as a good man caught up in an ugly world, the show has gradually peeled away Walt’s facade to show his essential brutality. Mad Men’s writing is excellent for how it makes us like a leading man who does unlikeable things; Breaking Bad’s is excellent for how it make us hate a man for whom we once had boundless sympathy. This is such an audacious, novel track for a show to take, and it makes Breaking Bad the best-written series on TV.
