Breaking Bad. Have tried multiple times, just couldn't get into it
I made it pretty far into the series, past the Gus Fring arc and beyond the train robbery - but it’s just such a hard slog with no likeable characters that it just ground me out.
I think that's what got me. There are no redeeming characters. I don't want to root for anyone. Jesse is the only semi likable character and even then that is generous
I din’t get into it either. So many people praise it, but after 5-10 episodes I gave up. Maybe it’s the premise itself that does not entice me, I’m not even sure.
Same here, haven't finished the first season. IIRC the guy who played Jesse's acting was a sticking point for me.
You might try “Better Call Saul”. I didn’t like Breaking Bad, but I enjoyed the spin off up until the last season. It doesn’t really rely on the other show until the final episodes.
