Breaking Bad: 10 Times Walter White Made You Genuinely Root For Him

10. His Relationship With Bogdan

It's one of the very first things we get to see about Walt's life outside of the classroom in season one and it's safe to say that there aren't too many people who like car-wash owner, Bogdan.

Bogdan essentially humiliates Walt, asking him to pull extra shifts and clean cars, much to the amusement of some of Walt's students.

However, there's more than one occasion when Walt uses Bogdan to get you right behind him as a character.

Shortly after finding out he has cancer, Walt trashes some of the reception area of the business before telling Bogdan to "Wipe down this!", while thrusting and gripping his crotch in Bogdan's direction.

It's a satisfying moment in itself what gets you backing Walt from the get-go.

Bogdan eventually gets his comeuppance in season four at the hands of both Walt and Skyler, who buy Bogdan out after staging the fact the site has a pollution problem with the help of Saul Goodman.

Walt smashing the photo frame containing the dollar bill and using it as a final small win over Bogdan is not only satisfying for the viewer, but shows just how far Walt has come from the man he was in season one.
