I started to like Hank toward the end. In the beginning, he was just that meat head brother-in-law, but he really started to grow on me. I couldn't stand his wife. I really didn't see the point in the whole story line with her being a kleptomaniac. I also don't know how I feel about Walt's wife. She was cool in the beginning but then she just became boring and confusing when she became cold and distant. His son was kind of annoying. I guess the disability angle gave him this sense of innocence and made you feel bad for him for just wanting to love his family while they were falling apart around him. I just found him kind of annoying. All in all, Hank was the only one I really liked. The episode where he died was one of the finest moments in TV history.

I think how the two shows handled deaths of major characters is very different. BB didn't have as many major deaths as GOT, but when they did, it was epic. The Hank death was really something amazing. It was long and drawn out and it just had you going "PLEASE DON'T" inside. GOT, on the other hand, has these sudden deaths that are supposed to shock you. The Jon Snow death, for example, came very quickly and out of nowhere. It didn't have the same feel as the Hank death. The only one that might have was the Ned death in Season 1.
