Yes, I actually binge watched season one and was able to watch by the time the second season began. I didn't think I'd want to watch it for the same reasons. Brilliant writing and superb acting won me. I was surprised at just how much I related to Walt, which is sort of troubling, lol. Did you and your husband like Skyler? I don't know why she got so much hate online. I thought she was an equally complex character.
We both were not fans of Skylar, but it didn't turn to something close to "hate" until the whole Ted thing (don't want to say more because there are a few people who haven't watched the series yet...not sure what they're waiting for???). I know why she did everything she did, but my loyalties were still with Walt then.
But I think it's flattering to Anna Gunn that she played that character so well as to invoke such intense hatred in the fans.
I give credit to anyone who was a fan while the show was still airing new episodes. I could barely wait til the next day to stream my BB fix, let alone week to week or (God forbid!) season to season!
