Just binged the entire show in 2 weeks! I dashed to this subreddit and was really surprised with one thing

The fan reaction to Skyler White.

She was my favorite character in the show -complex, layered, conflicted. She was written and acted with so much depth and nuance. And most of the audience hated her?

I loved watching the anger with her husband after catching him in a massive lie, realizing it was meth, refusing him, coming to an understanding that it was about family, trying to help by making the financial situation more protected, leveling with Walter, worried for her family’s safety, and eventually giving up. It’s one of the most complex arcs I’ve seen in a character.

One of my favorite moments was when Ted asks her what Walt did to her so he doesn’t make the same mistake, and she just pauses and says “I’d be amazed.” Or when she’s drinking wine by the bottle at dinner with Jesse and Walter. The nuance in it is incredible.

Why did you guys hate her character? I was really expecting everyone to love her like I did and it wasn’t the case.
