He idolizes Stalin and the way he runs everything. Sasha wants to join what is known as the Young Pioneers‚ but when his father suddenly gets arrested in the middle of the night he isn’t so sure anymore.

    While watching and analyzing the sixth episode of the Breaking Bed‚ I disagree with Harvrilesky that Walter White is unlikable because I believe that TV shows even make the anti-hero to be likable. The anti-hero characters‚ in the TV shows and films‚ have some specific historical backgrounds and show the audience the purpose of these anti-heroic actions‚ which usually convert the audience’s senses of unlikable anti-hero into a of sympathy or respectfulness.
