"Breaking Bad" from Skylar's perspective is a psychological horror series

One reason people generally dont root for Skyler is that the things she does are bad but not bad ass. The things Walt does, play into a power fantasy while things Skyler does do not.

<a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LFCOVaCe8eE&t=1221">20:21</a> I never hated her. I totally understand how she was feeling. I can understand how she was in a no win situation. When someone is gaslit over a period of time it causes a disconnect with reality, the person changes into someone else just to survive.

Props for pointing out that Walt is an abusive husband who assaults his wife - that doesn't come up nearly as much as it should.

What's interesting about this show and the majority of people watching it is that they manage to overlook what Walter gave up to embrace his double life of crime. Walter left his company out of this narcissistic pride he felt after realizing how wealthy Gretchen's family was. Gretchen and Elliot miss Walter, there's a reason Walter was still invited to his birthday party among all the other scholars he felt out of place with. Had Walter swallowed his pride for once and chose to accept Elliot's offer, he would've had job security, health insurance covered, and probably would've still left a few hundred thousand dollars with Skyler before succumbing to cancer two years later. Ending on good terms with Elliot and Gretchen, they may have even helped Skyler financially after his death, throwing a few million to her would clearly be pennies to them, especially when they care about Walter. Most importantly of all, he'd also be remembered positively by his family. <br><br>Instead, despite having to already kill two people in a life or death situation before attending that party, Walter would rather turn down the offer to make the money illegally. Somehow, most people still watch this show with the idea that Skyler is a worse character than Walter.

You missed Skyler’s most iconic line in the whole show “ Someone has to protect this family from the man who protects this family.”

I've always gotten why ppl disliked Skyler, but the overall hate she gets never made sense to me. She feels like a very realistic character in a situation like this.

Some fans will look at Skyler, and someone like Gus Fring, and decide that Skyler committed the more heinous acts

Skyler didn't consent to the life Walter was dragging his family into. In her perspective Walt's strange behaviors were just symptoms of his newfound diagnosis. Only to find out (while hes already too deep) with children that he's part of a drug empire. <br><br>The weight of holding two horrible realities, keeping her children unaware as much as possible, and even HELPING Walt because of how deep he was. Compared to the large array of other characters who have done far worse.
