I appreciate the sentiment, but politicians of all stripes need to look back over their shoulders at all the places where the line should have been drawn.
If you say the line must be drawn here, you are implying that on some level you found everything that has come before acceptable.

Yes. This is a historical novel with more than one era, some contentious elements, & new things being written on the era in question. I think I need to start each 'writing' session with the WIP, or with the blank page, & see what sparks. Leave the research for times when the brain can't manage more.

I see no hyperbole, and characterising it as such has its own, far greater risks.

Better Call Saul is more nuanced: Mike, Jimmy, Kim, Nacho - all with light & shade, well-explored.
Breaking bad - in the sense of moral transgression - has long attracted us. Satan is by far the best character in Paradise Lost. Blake felt Milton was 'of the devil's party without knowing it'.
