    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.

        I think they wanted to do the whole ‘threes’ thing, Walt dies, Jesse escapes, Saul gets arrested.

        I do agree Sauls denegration near the end felt out of character to a degree, the guy was a con artist/lawyer his whole life and I dont see him getting that deranged in his old age.
