Exactly. The show tells it as it is. It doesn't romanticize crime at all. Gomorrah want us to know how BAD it really is to be part of an organized crime. Action have consequences.

For instance, in Sopranos, Tony never died, did he? Maybe he did, maybe he didn't... doesn't matter. What's more important is the fact that nobody in his family died, right? That's romanticizing crime. Crime shows like Breaking Bad and Sopranos want you to believe that it's okay to commit a crime so long as your heart is in the right place. Bla bla bla...

By contrast, Gomorrah, wants you to stop fantasizing crap and face the reality. Talk sh*t, get bang. You f**k up? Your family pays for it. Want to screw over a drug kingpin? Your child dies... Don't get an illusion that since they are the bad guys and you're only doing it for your family that everything's gonna work out for them (your family) at last, because, certainly, your family or people close to you are going to be the ones that would pay for your crimes. Gomorrah is real life depiction of organized crime at any level at it's finest.

At the emboldened, maybe, it has something to do with the fact that the Camorra Mafia isn't as centralized as the infamous Sicilian Mafia. Thus, it makes it more difficult to combat personal interest & enforce family values.

You completely missed the point I was trying to make. I will try to elaborate further on this.

Did Walter pay for his sins, though? Not really. Sure, he died, but it was expected from the start. He had cancer, remember? Then, he went into a life of crime to provide for his family, which naturally, escalated to a full fledged drug business - the kind that can wipe out a whole family tree. He pulled a lot of sh*t that somewhere along the line, even the most obtuse of viewers must have realized that Walter ain't getting out of this alive. But, that's btw, it doesn't really matter.

What matters is this: Breaking Bad wants you to believe that if you have honest to heart motive, it's OK! Hey, you can kill a lot of people, but since you're taking BAD people out of the equation and also doing it to take care of your family, that it's all okay. That your family will be taken care of in the end. That's romanticizing crime if ever there is one. That's not real life.

Jesse wasn't the protagonist and btw, him being a wreck is insignificant because, it was expected. Ditto Skyler. Walt BIL was an FBI agent, thus, getting killed in the line of duty wasn't that peculiar.

Bottom line, Walt's family lived on - without any Witness protection program involved - without any consequences, to enjoy the wealth he accumulated, via his meth business.
