The people who didn't like the last season are the people who flat-out didn't understand the show.

Case in point, a few posts in this topic.

I think that is a broad conclusion to make. I get the show. Walt cloaked his hubris in the need to provide and continued because his ego wouldn't allow him to quit. Good story.

What I don't like is that Walt turned from "complicated man out of his element but surviving none-the-less" to outright Lex Luthor style super villain. It felt forced and cartoony. The Nazis felt like a desperate attempt to make a villain most people would hate more than Walt, but their beliefs never actually had any impact on the show. They could have been literally any criminal organization, but Nazis were chosen obviously so they could keep Walt at least a bit morally grey. On top of that, Hank went completely off character, going from 'an ass who is good at his job' to a complete failure of a cop. That's not to mention how long and drawn out it was. It felt like episodes were padded.

I'm not saying it's a bad show, by any means. It's not my personal favorite, but I get its popularity and I think it deserves some credit. The last season was just crap, though.
