As a whole I think Breaking Bad was kind of slower paced until S3, but the opening moments of the Pilot are some of the most intense TV ever. I was pure status until after the opening credits went away and the commercials aired.nikkas saying this wasn't great.. it's the first episode and they've already given us plenty of exposition on the characters, now we get to the murder and how it all intertwines.
I'll say it.. this was better than the first episode of Breaking Bad.
I think true Detective S1 is better than BrBa S1, I'll say that for sure.
I think this ep of TD got ruined for me because I read a review that posted some of the "lamer" dialogue, and when I heard it on the show it was already planted in my head. Lines like "Never do anything out of hunger, even eating." Or, "The highway suits me." I'll stay away from reviews from here on and I'll probably enjoy the season a lot more.
