    People hated Skyler more than Todd??? I thought she was annoying and a spoilsport for admonishing my, and the rest of the audience’s, desire to watch a meth empire power fantasy show, but most hated??

      Different kind of hate, I think. I hate Todd, but I still enjoy having him on the show and am curious / interested in his plot lines.

      Skyler, conversely, just makes me wish she wasn’t in the scene. She’s not enjoyable to hate.

        Skyler’s role was integral. It was problematic for some who wanted to see more absurd violence and drug-fueled antics. Walter had a whole-ass family that he abandoned to become a crime lord. Yes, the story an indictment is health care in the u.s. Skyler was a human being whose life was ruined, and her kids’ lives were hit

        Edit also, fuck Todd, but he was also a compelling character

      I don’t even remember Todd I had to look him up. I really disliked Skylar but I definitely don’t hate her more than say, Gus
