This Mexican girl I dated for a while told me that 90% of all Tejano is about drug dealers and truckers who run drugs across the border, which makes me enjoy it more but I still find it mostly unbearable, especially if there's a synth involved.
When I first started watching, I knew the vague premise (chemistry teacher, cancer, meth, winnebago), but with this sort of smugness that I knew exactly where this beloved show was going. Walt and Jesse would hate each other at first, then grudgingly form a respect for one another as they tool around in an RV fighting gangsters. Walter White would do some moderately shitty things, but never something so evil the audience would stop rooting for him.
Watching the final product was a learning experience.
