I know this is putting a lot on you, but there have been feminist critiques made of most of the shows you mentioned (esp Doctor Who under Moffat which if you listen to some people is the most misogynist thing ever made or whatever). Would you mind talking a little about why you don't find feminist critiques compelling in these cases, or more generally, I guess, what separates the stuff that you dislike from the stuff that you like?

AYRT

Wait, maybe I'd better back up. When I said "it's not my thing" I meant Breaking Bad, not feminist critiques.

Errr... yes? Sorry, I think I'm missing something or being horribly unclear or something, let me see if I can avoid doing that.

You said (assuming you're OP or someone that agrees with them) that you don't like Breaking Bad etc because you're a feminist, presumably because you agree with feminist critiques of those shows. You also listed a bunch of other shows that you do like, many of which - like Mad Men and Doctor Who - have also had feminist critiques made of them. So I'm just wondering whether you could talk a little about why the feminists critiques of Doctor Who and Mad Men don't affect your enjoyment of those shows but critiques of Breaking Bad etc do. Or to put it another way, what do you think makes the difference between the shows that you like and the shows that being a feminist has made you dislike? And this isn't a veiled attack or anything, I really am just curious.

Does that make more sense? apologies if I'm still rambling nonsensically (or if any of my assumptions are wrong)

SA - sorry, just saw your comment below! Apologies again for any confusion

Anon You Sort Of Replied To ;)

It's not a problem, just a misunderstanding. :) I did wonder why you asked in the first place...
