yeah the show starts to get even shittier. they focus less on him doing bad ass meth drug lord shit, and more on his stupid, annoying, entitled, wife. not to mention his unimaginably naive kid, which is just not believeable as a character.
Season five spoiler:
Spoiler (highlight to view):
You do know that Walt murdered half a cell block, right? He also nearly cut off his own hand, killed Mike, attempted to kill Lydia, robbed a train, planted bugs in a government building and expanded his meth business internationally.
If that's not "bad ass meth drug lord shit," then I don't know what is.

all in all, show would be insanely better if his family just got cut out.
I'll admit that I fucking hate Walt, Jr. as a character. RJ Mitte's acting is way, way too unbelievable—maybe it's his cerebral palsy, but he just can't get an audience to like him. Still, Junior and Skyler (at least for the first three seasons) serve as foils to Walt's growingly megalomaniacal and sociopathic tendencies; without them, Walt's morality during the "trying times" that were seasons two through four would not have been so apparently dynamic.

oh well. my comment stands! that show sucks!
As someone whose opinion of a work of art is based upon whether or not it focuses on its protagonist "doing badass meth drug lord shit," your judgment is to be afforded the utmost respect.
