In my opinion this series started out brilliantly on a very interesting premise. But later I think the series started to lose its own credibility. It suffered from the same fate a lot of series have these days: they throw in everything they got at the start to actually make an impression. But that leaves them with only so much for the remaining seasons.
*** CONTAINS SPOILERS BELOW ***
After a few seasons, you know the trick and you start wondering how Walter and his unstable friend can dodge so many bullets. His sidekick Jesse started to become really obsolete, and quite frankly annoyed me up to the point that I was actually praying for some gang member to end his life sooner than later. A guy that is constantly nagging and feeling so sorry for himself is only interesting for so long. After that he just becomes annoying. Personally I think this is a result of just dragging on for far too long with a series on a same premise. It becomes a one-trick pony. It would've served the series better if they'd cut it down a season or two.
