And yeah, the two shows come out equal on the number of characters you want to root for. Mad Men has Peggy and Joan, and that's basically it. Though I'm starting to root for Megan Draper. Breaking Bad has Hank as its true hero, and Jessie is someone we root for as well.

Of all those characters, perhaps only Peggy is without flaws.
I don't think Hank is the true hero. He's only a hero by virtue of his profession, not because he's actually a character we root for to succeed. Shouldn't a hero be someone people want to see succeed? I don't think anyone wants to see Hank catch Walt and Jesse.

I think Jesse turns out to be the true hero in the end.
