Everyone I’ve spoken to about the show, \u003ca href=\"http://www.avclub.com/articles/why-the-end-of-breaking-bad-doesnt-and-does-matter,101411/\">every\u003c/a> \u003ca href=\"http://www.avclub.com/articles/how-breaking-bad-broke-free-of-the-clockworkuniver,101278/\">blog\u003c/a> \u003ca href=\"http://articles.washingtonpost.com/2013-08-08/entertainment/41193205_1_creator-vince-gilligan-breaking-bad-walter-white\">post\u003c/a> or \u003ca href=\"http://www.newyorker.com/arts/critics/television/2012/08/27/120827crte_television_nussbaum\">article\u003c/a> I read, and everyone I follow on Twitter, have a certain collective understanding about how the show will end. It will be grim. There will be justice for protagonist-turned-antagonist Walter White, but it will come at the expense of innocents. We’re happy with that.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>I think we’ve all come to this conclusion in part because we’re rooting for the show to be great—something else that’s unique about \u003cem>Breaking Bad.\u003c/em> I loved the first season of \u003cem>Mad Men\u003c/em>, thought it faltered a little in the second and third seasons, became amazing again, and by last season, I was happy to write about it \u003ca href=\"http://blogs.kqed.org/pop/2013/04/08/mad-men-recap-suicide-is-painless-but-this-show-is-not/\">for this site\u003c/a> in a \u003ca href=\"http://blogs.kqed.org/pop/2013/06/20/mad-men-is-it-time-to-give-up-on-don-drapers-soul/\">glibly ambivalent manner\u003c/a>. I have no idea how \u003cem>Mad Men\u003c/em> will end, just as I was in a great deal of suspense with how \u003cem>The Wire\u003c/em> and \u003cem>The Sopranos\u003c/em> would end, but I feel like I was more open to the idea of those shows failing me than I am about this one doing the same.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Maybe we root for the show so hard because, in a lot of ways, it’s not really as great as \u003cem>Mad Men\u003c/em> or \u003cem>The Wire\u003c/em> or \u003cem>The Sopranos.\u003c/em> With the exception of the pilot episode—which, unlike those of many great shows, is perfect and gives an ideal preview of what’s to come—much of the first season of \u003cem>Breaking Bad\u003c/em>, if I recall correctly, focuses on Walt lurching around suffering from cancer and berating his young partner Jesse Pinkman, having just enough close calls to keep the viewer going for another episode. The humor isn’t great early on, especially before the introduction of Bob Odenkirk’s flamboyantly smarmy lawyer character, Saul Goodman. Walter’s wife, Skyler, takes a long time to develop as a character. The first drug dealer Walter squares off with, Tuco, is ridículo. We tell people, “You have to watch \u003cem>Breaking Bad!\u003c/em>” all the time, but to ask somebody to watch seven hours of something that isn’t great yet is pretty absurd, more absurd even than saying, “The first 70 pages of the novel are a little slow, but it really gets going later.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>I’m not a big sports guy, and I’ve tried to be, but I understand the joy of rooting for a team in great moments. My parents met in Boston, and I was with them when the Red Sox won their first World Series in three millions years. My undergrad school’s basketball team gained “Cinderella” status and went to the Final Four just after I graduated. I was here for the sweep. \u003cem>Breaking Bad\u003c/em> is kind of like Giants baseball: sometimes you’re excited or vindicated, but mostly you’re just tortured. Like sports fans, my fellow bloggers and I root for \u003cem>Breaking Bad\u003c/em> to turn out to be as good as \u003cem>Hamlet\u003c/em> and \u003cem>A Good Man Is Hard to Find\u003c/em> and \u003cem>The Sopranos\u003c/em> all rolled into one, as though our conscious extreme liking of it will actually make it better.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Watching last night’s episode, as is almost always the case, I felt a great deal of joy at watching the grim events unfold, despite that nothing truly unexpected happened.

Everyone I’ve spoken to about the show, \u003ca href=\"http://www.avclub.com/articles/why-the-end-of-breaking-bad-doesnt-and-does-matter,101411/\">every\u003c/a> \u003ca href=\"http://www.avclub.com/articles/how-breaking-bad-broke-free-of-the-clockworkuniver,101278/\">blog\u003c/a> \u003ca href=\"http://articles.washingtonpost.com/2013-08-08/entertainment/41193205_1_creator-vince-gilligan-breaking-bad-walter-white\">post\u003c/a> or \u003ca href=\"http://www.newyorker.com/arts/critics/television/2012/08/27/120827crte_television_nussbaum\">article\u003c/a> I read, and everyone I follow on Twitter, have a certain collective understanding about how the show will end. It will be grim. There will be justice for protagonist-turned-antagonist Walter White, but it will come at the expense of innocents. We’re happy with that.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>I think we’ve all come to this conclusion in part because we’re rooting for the show to be great—something else that’s unique about \u003cem>Breaking Bad.\u003c/em> I loved the first season of \u003cem>Mad Men\u003c/em>, thought it faltered a little in the second and third seasons, became amazing again, and by last season, I was happy to write about it \u003ca href=\"http://blogs.kqed.org/pop/2013/04/08/mad-men-recap-suicide-is-painless-but-this-show-is-not/\">for this site\u003c/a> in a \u003ca href=\"http://blogs.kqed.org/pop/2013/06/20/mad-men-is-it-time-to-give-up-on-don-drapers-soul/\">glibly ambivalent manner\u003c/a>. I have no idea how \u003cem>Mad Men\u003c/em> will end, just as I was in a great deal of suspense with how \u003cem>The Wire\u003c/em> and \u003cem>The Sopranos\u003c/em> would end, but I feel like I was more open to the idea of those shows failing me than I am about this one doing the same.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Maybe we root for the show so hard because, in a lot of ways, it’s not really as great as \u003cem>Mad Men\u003c/em> or \u003cem>The Wire\u003c/em> or \u003cem>The Sopranos.\u003c/em> With the exception of the pilot episode—which, unlike those of many great shows, is perfect and gives an ideal preview of what’s to come—much of the first season of \u003cem>Breaking Bad\u003c/em>, if I recall correctly, focuses on Walt lurching around suffering from cancer and berating his young partner Jesse Pinkman, having just enough close calls to keep the viewer going for another episode. The humor isn’t great early on, especially before the introduction of Bob Odenkirk’s flamboyantly smarmy lawyer character, Saul Goodman. Walter’s wife, Skyler, takes a long time to develop as a character. The first drug dealer Walter squares off with, Tuco, is ridículo. We tell people, “You have to watch \u003cem>Breaking Bad!\u003c/em>” all the time, but to ask somebody to watch seven hours of something that isn’t great yet is pretty absurd, more absurd even than saying, “The first 70 pages of the novel are a little slow, but it really gets going later.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>I’m not a big sports guy, and I’ve tried to be, but I understand the joy of rooting for a team in great moments. My parents met in Boston, and I was with them when the Red Sox won their first World Series in three millions years. My undergrad school’s basketball team gained “Cinderella” status and went to the Final Four just after I graduated. I was here for the sweep. \u003cem>Breaking Bad\u003c/em> is kind of like Giants baseball: sometimes you’re excited or vindicated, but mostly you’re just tortured.

What was once the season of fleeting love and less-than-quality television programming has turned, for those of us who are adults with jobs and Netflix, into the season of still-basically-single and pretty-great television. Because I am a positive/delusional person who likes to make lemons into imaginary lemonade, I have decided the best way to regain the romance of summer is by having imaginary relationships with the gentleman I see most frequently: the boys of TV. Since I am TV-polyamorous, I would like to share the wealth with you. Let me introduce you to my six favorite TV boyfriends of the summer.
