he said that Hank was at his wildest only in the first season. So if the complaint is that he was this wild character who eventually ended up being out-wilded by everybody else - which in your mind ultimately made him unredeemable - you're saying you only enjoyed that first season, and nothing else after.

It's also worth mentioning that the only reason he wanted him to die was because he drank and smoked too much. He also mentioned that the idea was tossed around but never really brought into play, which, good, because it's kinda nihilistic and cynical and completely goes against the spirit/theme/message of the show, which is that, despite how screwed up people are, they do and should get chances to start over, to make amends, to do the right thing by those they love. To me, that's more realistic and "logical" than having a so-called happy ending ripped away because it's allegedly what the character "deserved."
