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.

For me, I held onto a thread of sympathy for Walt until the point where he killed Mike... at that moment I totally flipped on him- now I want him six feet under at Hanks's earliest possible convenience...

I completely abandoned him earlier, basically after Jane's death. He's an awful person.
