  This is an article written by Anna Gunn, who played Skyler White on Breaking Bad, describing how her character is hated much more the Walt, the protagonist, despite his immoral and criminal behavior.
  Do you think that people tend to react negatively to a strong female character?

  Breaking Bad is without a doubt one of the most complex TV shows ever made as well as the story itself. While watching this show I never really sided with Walt nor Skyler because of how horrible they both of them were. Walt was a drug dealer who was reasonable for the death of over 15 people as well as his brother in law who seemed to also be his best friend. Skyler was a pretty terrible person as well because she cheated on her husband as well as an accessory to his madness. The difference was at the core of there characters. Walt was way more concerned about his family than Skyler ever was. Skyler was way more concerned about herself. I don't think sex plays into this at all like some other TV shows may.

  I remember reading this article in the Times, I think it delivers a healthy perspective to those who disliked Skyler because of her attitude towards Walter. I think I'm going to have to disagree with Declan's comments and beliefs, because Skyler was the wife of a meth dealer, she was in a horrible situation, this dosen't make her a horrible person.
