Breaking Bad (including spoilers)
Discussion
The limitation in Hank's character for me is his binary nature.
Everything is either good or bad, nothing in between.
If he'd have put two and two together and realised 'blue' only started after Walt's diagnosis, and merely asked why (knowing that Walt is a fundamentally decent guy) Then things could have been very different. Instead he went in guns blazing and backed Walt into a corner.
Admittedly, not helped by Walt's various comments to show superiority...

Most characters were a
holes in one way or another and to various degrees.
Hank had a bit of a grating personality but was basically a solid bloke. Pretty much the only significant character who didn't deserve what happened to him. It was his job though so you can understand why he had to take down Walt. Why would he even consider Walt was responsible for the blue in the big picture he's a chemistry teacher.

Then, even winding forward more to when he performs some more radical acts, when you think about it, they were logical. Cold, certainly, but it was to keep himself alive and providing.
It was only later on, where Walt exhibits the sin of pride and lets things slip that I felt I would not be the same.
The relationship between Walt and Jessie was where Walt turned bad , blowing up Tuco as payback for beating Jessie and then killing the 2 dealers to save Jessie It was only later on, where Walt exhibits the sin of pride and lets things slip that I felt I would not be the same.

Killing the two dealers to save Jessie was a shock, but it really shouldn't have been. It was logically the best thing to do, so he may as well have got on with it.

his relationship with Jessie was very complicated and in the end almost Fatherly

I've been watching it online/streaming, and tonight, I'll be watching the very last episode.
For me it started out slow and after season 1 I thought "WTF". Everyone said stick with it. I did. It was worth it. Although at times I think Walt was excessively stupid for someone so smart, which made me realise how good this show is. It was a very good portrayal.
9.5/10 for me. Final episode awaits.
