[–] flamingo_pinyata@sopuli.xyz 20 points 5 months ago (2 children) Exactly, well written, well acted but the absence of sympathetic protagonists killed it for me. I just couldn't care. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 4 child comments replies: [–] RedMari@reddthat.com 6 points 5 months ago I liked that they weren't afraid to have the main character so unlikable. It also made more sense after I realized it was a Neo-Western. permalink fedilink source parent [–] margaritox@lemmy.world 2 points 5 months ago I don’t blame you for not being able to watch a show without any sympathetic characters. I’m the same way. But I disagree about Breaking Bad not having any sympathetic characters though. I felt like it did. Yes, they were doing heinous stuff. But I feel like they did a good job at showing the main characters’ humanity despite the poor choices they have made. But I do understand why you would see it the way you do. Shows resonate differently for different people. permalink fedilink source parent
