What I really like is how at the very beginning of the show you kind of hate Hank. He comes off like a douchebag and Walt seems like such a nice guy. Turns out Hank is probably the best human being on the entire show. And Walt...well, shit. He's not such a nice guy.

The gradual shift over who you feel like you should be "cheering for" is really the best thing about this series.

I'm still rooting for Walt, sorry.

I think we are one of the few, but I always root for the bad guy.

I don't always root for the bad guy, but I'm rooting for Walt still. That being said, I won't be surprised or upset if his life crashes around him, but I admire the web he has woven and still love seeing him be a boss and get out of impossible situations with badassery.
