I dunno, I think with Breaking Bad you were supposed to start off finding Walt likeable and sympathetic, and gradually realise that he was a monster (whereas Hank appeared to be goofy, not very bright, and annoying, and you gradually came to see that you'd been seeing him through Walt's eyes and that while, yes, he was goofy, he was also a good agent, much smarter than Walt thought, and a much better man). But I'm still not sure how well that landed with all the audience.
