I’m glad to know I’m not the only one who thought the ending was a load of liberal horseshit. I got the feeling the writers just needed the law punish someone at the end of the BB story, since Walt and Jesse more or less got away with it, but it also felt like they were punishing the audience for daring to like the likeable scumbag character they wrote. Liberals just want to be the teacher. How dare you have fun? go to detention!
I liked it, made sense to me that walter or jessie dont get caught or punished.
I will agree that the entire show has a right-wing liberal idea of drugs, morality and such. I think it was only good because of the acting, dialogue, camera work ect all being 10/10 but when the ideology shines through (and its always there) the bias of the director and the writers can shine its ugly head thru.
I think mostly about how there are basically no black characters in the entire show, about a drug kingpin in america; I mean think about that lol, you manage to go two entire shows without even discussing the root of politics of the drug war of america and its the freaking topic of the show lol.
Avoiding the discussion of the politics of the drug war definitely felt kind of surreal watching it. I do agree that in terms of execution the show was great though. I just found the ending with Saul giving himself up really hamfisted and completely out of character for him. It just felt like moralizing for the sake of it.

Indeed, the ending basically ruined the whole show for me.
