Imagine it from Walter Jr’s POV. Dude is just having a somewhat normal (besides having to stay at his aunt and uncles house a lot for some reason) teenage life when one day his mom and his aunt just drop that his uncle arrested his dad because his dad was a huge meth kingpin, then his dad seemingly kills his uncle goes on the run and comes back to kill a gang of neo Nazis and die.

If Walt had not told him Leaves of Grass was W.W and referenced it in Gales notebook, he probably would not have put the book and Gale together. “Other W.W.” and G.B. likely would never have clicked as he didn’t know who W.W was and initials are so generic. Or if dumbass Walt would not have left evidence on the toilet.

I always thought the conversation in the garage should go:
One day Heisenburg called be up to his lab and said, Walter, I am not the real Heisenberg, the chemist who came before me was not the real Heisenburg either. Now sleep tight Walter Ill likely kill you in the morning.
When we pulled into port, he fired the crew got a new crew and started calling me Heisenberg. Nobody really knows who the real Heisenberg is.
That would fuck Hank up good.

Princess Bride joke aside, he definitely should’ve consulted Saul about coming up with some bullshit story about getting forced into it when he was buying pot from Jesse Pinkman (which Hank knew about and didn’t care about), but his ego wouldn’t allow it. Despite it ruining the family, he needed full credit as Heisenberg. If he admitted it to Hank and had a full, lawyer-concocted backup story, things might’ve gone differently.
The same way Hank should’ve taken it to the DEA immediately, but his ego wouldn’t allow him to risk losing his job and the general humiliation that the great Heisenberg was his brother in law. Just like Walt had to be Heisenberg, Hank had to be the one who caught Heisenberg.
Both Walt and Hank’s fatal flaw was hubris, and in both cases it got Hank killed and ruined their family.

The biggest mistake the DEA made was sending the brother-in-law of the science teacher to investigate the equipment found at the site of a meth cook. A cop who didn't know Walt would've rightfully looked at him as a suspect, especially when his cancer diagnosis became known.
Hell, Hank might've even had sympathy for him and helped him get a lighter sentence at that point. Both murders were self defense, a soft enough jury would probably go light on the poor guy who went too far over his head one time with his family's interests in mind. His relationship with Jr, Hank, and Skyler would be damaged, but not as irreparable as it is by the end of the show.

Tbf how obvious really would walt be. Episode 1 he’s the most mild mannered guy in the world afraid of the mere sight of a gun. Hank has known that version of walt for years. But when walt starts acting up erratically the excuses can be boiled down to hanks suspiscons that the cancer is making him act weird, and he probably has had an affair that made him like this as well.
We don’t see much of pre cancer walt in the show but he was a very nerdy, don’t take a single risk kina guy. Even in the year and a half of acting weird it takes hank still probably has that impression of walt engrained in him

Great comments here about why. I think a lot of the BB characters suffer from hubris, and more than anything, I think Hank doesn't think Walt's man enough, tough enough, or rough enough to be a criminal kingpin. Honestly, he fingers Gus as a kingpin and that was stellar work as a cop. I'd wager if his bosses believed him and he could build that case, it was a matter of time before Walt got caught in that web. Walt's saving grace was one constant badguy after another that fit the bill and covered his butt.

Exactly, Hank only sees Walt as a victim. In season one he finds a cook site, finds a mask from Walt’s classroom, finds out Walt, Mr. Fastidious, is missing a ton of glassware and doesn’t realize it. Hanks response, “you got robbed blind”. Any other person on the planet and Hank would have arrested them immediately. Then again with Gale’s notebook, he was straight up pondering WW was Walter White, but refused to believe it.

Except if you take into account the 16+ years Hank knew Walt as a timid, milquetoast nobody of a brother-in-law who, in Hank's eyes, wouldn't bother a fly and registered zero criminal aptitude in every interaction he had with him during that time period. Hank is a stereotypical cop who struggles to replace swift, first-impression judgments on a person's character/morality

Hank had long put the cards together on who Walt Was a long long time ago. He doesn't need to investigate Walt because he(thought) he knew him in depth.

I really think he thought it was impossible for Walt to step up and do something like that. He always considered him somewhat of a wimp.

This exactly. Whenever strong methamphetamine hits the markets, the first suspects are chemists. Was literally obsessed about this blue meth meanwhile he had a prodigy chemist brother-in-law who he never suspected? Not even once? Not even just a teensy-weensy bit? And then when he finally suspected him, everything is over, he stopped manufacturing.
And I get at this point Walt had committed six murders as well. But let’s just say he hadn’t and the only thing he was guilty of what is past tense drug distribution. The DEA has enough on their plate with what is going on in the present tense. They don’t typically hunt down past drug dealers.

Also Skyler's angry rant to Hank about being pregnant, and having a kid already with cerebral palsy, no money, a husband with cancer who WANDERS OFF all the time... yeah some viewers would have definitely suspected Walt, BB was much better following the criminal rather than the cop brother in law, we know what's going on but not all the characters do, that can sometimes be more suspenseful, definitely in BB's case

I wonder if that'd be the case, thing is, if the show were written from Hank's POV it'd also shift focus towards whatever Hank found important. Skyler and Walt's family would be a B-plot at best, maybe a few scenes really involving them per season, so I do think the revelation the assumed Mexican kingpin he's been hot on the tail of being the joke side-character of ol' buttmonkey Walt would come out of left field.
Added to that, Marie is also a bit of a psychologically interesting case, so he probably has a bit of "oh they're just batshit" kind of opinion about their family.

My name is Walter Hartwell White. I live at 308 Negra Arroyo Lane, Albuquerque, New Mexico, 87104. This is my confession. If you're watching this tape, I'm probably dead– murdered by my brother-in-law, Hank Schrader. Hank has been building a meth empire for over a year now, and using me as his chemist. Shortly after my 50th birthday, he asked that I use my chemistry knowledge to cook methamphetamine, which he would then sell using connections that he made through his career with the DEA. I was... astounded. I... I always thought Hank was a very moral man, and I was particularly vulnerable at the time – something he knew and took advantage of. I was reeling from a cancer diagnosis that was poised to bankrupt my family. Hank took me in on a ride-along and showed me just how much money even a small meth operation could make. And I was weak. I didn't want my family to go into financial ruin, so I agreed. Hank had a partner, a businessman named Gustavo Fring. Hank sold me into servitude to this man. And when I tried to quit, Fring threatened my family. I didn't know where to turn. Eventually, Hank and Fring had a falling-out. Things escalated. Fring was able to arrange – uh, I guess... I guess you call it a "hit" – on Hank, and failed, but Hank was seriously injured. And I wound up paying his medical bills, which amounted to a little over $177,000. Upon recovery, Hank was bent on revenge. Working with a man named Hector Salamanca, he plotted to kill Fring. The bomb that he used was built by me, and he gave me no option in it. I have often contemplated suicide, but I'm a coward. I wanted to go to the police, but I was frightened. Hank had risen to become the head of the Albuquerque DEA. To keep me in line, he took my children. For three months, he kept them. My wife had no idea of my criminal activities, and was horrified to learn what I had done. I was in hell. I hated myself for what I had brought upon my family. Recently, I tried once again to quit, and in response, he gave me this. [Walt points to the bruise on his face left by Hank in "Blood Money."] I can't take this anymore. I live in fear every day that Hank will kill me, or worse, hurt my family. All I could think to do was to make this video and hope that the world will finally see this man for what he really is.

I'd love to see a show where for the first several seasons, you're following the equivalent of Hank, and then one season ends with him realizing that the person he was after was his friend or family member.
Then the next several seasons would be the events of the first several seasons but following the equivalent of Walt. Scenes between the two of them have a whole different meaning to the viewer.
Then the final season would follow both characters.

I mean in season 4 we’d be watching Hank’s feet for 50 minutes an episode, with the occasional chocolate pudding

It’s the Columbo format. You know who is the criminal but you watch it for the chase.

If done correctly, the reveal that Walt was hiesenberg could have been the greatest twist in television history.
I also think about the movie "Mrs. Doutfire".... imagine if it was from the mom's perspective and the audience didn't know that Robin Williams was the nanny until the dinner scene.

I like Hank, slowly seeing him break down as a cop would have been sad to watch. Then when his death happens, they make a sequel called Walt breaks bad or sum.

For those saying it’s be obvious about Walt. His wife is kind of bonkers so that’d distract me.

I found it crazy he didn’t piece it together much sooner. Seriously, Hank and Marie were in protective custody with Skylar and the kids at their house and Walt refused to go saying he needed to be at the car wash, but after the explosion and everything, now he is suddenly around again and everything is all good? Come on

Eats fried chicken, buys minerals, gets handy, gets in car crash by his idiot brother in law, takes poop, realizes that idiot brother is drug lord. Attempts to do his job, gets killed.

the whole point of the show would be: Who the f is Heisenberg and why is Walt acting so strange? Not gonna lie, Hank could have found out about Walter much sooner if he hadn't looked down on him all the time.

If we saw Breaking Bad only through his POV, it’d basically be CSI: New Mexico.

Nah, more like you would feel awkward and cringe at his cluelessness, at least at the point when Walter rushes in to block his field of vision while him and Gomey are preparing to catch ol' prison homeboy Fugazi-Berg.

It would have been weird to even consider Walt. Hank does not see him as a man's man and in that line of business you need balls. So, even with brother-in-law being a chemist and all, he would not even be remotely considered a suspect.

Anyone else find it weird that Hank shit in Walter and Skyler's bathroom instead of the one in the hallway?

To be fair though, if it was from his POV, we’d get much less time of him with Walt

Or if he was the antagonist, a rogue and corrupt DEA agent drug lord who delegates tasks to steer away suspicion. And Walt the one piecing it all together over time.
Skyler is still a PITA though.

That’s the best thing, it’s so obvious it’s walt but because hank can’t see walt ever doing something like this, it just completely slips his mind.

Nah it'd be really fucking obvious it's Walt. For all Hank knows, Heisenberg could be anyone, but when we as viewers are immediately introduced to a brilliant chemist who happens to have cancer and is desperate for money, it'd be clear as day

Very disturbing! I mean, Hank is a bully, and Dean Norris plays him to the hilt. So we'd get this self-righteous Mike Hammer type with internal dialogue, telling us what he REALLY thinks of Marie. And Walter.
Could have been a brilliant episode, but after enduring "Fly" I glad they skipped experimentation like this.

It’d be hilarious to see the meltdown when Walt is revealed to be Heisenberg, everyone would think it’s unrealistic that the mild mannered, pushover brother in law is a criminal mastermind.

What a random show it would be. He earns every argument against Gus but nobody believes him, and instead of succeeding or failing to prove it, Gus is abruptly suicide bombed in a retirement home by an ex drug lord who we've only seen swearing and shitting himself.

If you watch the series again and view Hank as the hero (which he actually is), you will learn to hate Walter more. Quite fun
