Let me start by saying I really like the drama and the action writing in the show. What I really hate is the premise for it. I never really bought it. Why did Walter leave Grey Matter for a high school teacher job? And why was he then pissed that he was earning less? I mean what did he expect? If he was such a genius (contributions to the Nobel), why couldn't he find a better company/research position? Why did he not take Elliot's offer, even though it is the most surefire way of securing his family's future, as opposed to "breaking bad" which is highly likely to end badly (given how he had to kill two people by then)? The whole excuse of him wanting to be the provider of his family is nonsense because if he gets caught then his family gets nothing and has to depend on someone else while he rots in jail.
I think the show is much better when it gets to the point where Walter accepts that he wants to do this and then the show entirely focuses on the drama. But the part which tries to explain why he got into it is just very forced.
