I’ve never managed to watch the whole series. There’s great bits but I get super uncomfortable with Walters bumbling, flagrant dishonesty with his wife and family. I get the same thing with a few different shows and I just don’t enjoy it. To the point where I find myself just switching the TV off mid way through a scene and going to do something else without even really thinking about it.
If I had to describe the sensation it would be “extreme toe-curling cringe”.
My personal anti-suggestion is always the office. Too much cringe. I’ll watch compilations of Jim pranking Dwight on YouTube, but I can’t watch the show as a whole because of Michael.
And then there’s my wife, who hated Walter so much midway through she couldn’t watch it anymore.
That was my second watch so not a huge deal to me, but damn she could not stand him.

I have the same problem with stuff. Can you, um… anti-suggest?
Like suggest things I should avoid that hit those same tropes that made bb unwatchable for me…?
