This is the only show I wish I can forget about....















































....... just so I can re-watch and react to the moments of each episode like its brand new to me. I havent enjoyed anxiety and tension in my life til I watched the show.

I agree with this for the most part, but Giancarlo Esposito (Gus) is a great actor. Also the actors that played Mike & Saul were very dope.
No no they were not decent actors they were phenomenal:what:
Not just Giancarlo, Odenkirk, and Banks.

Game of Thrones gets worse every season while Breaking Bad only improved.
Breaking Bad has better writing.
More classic episodes and moments.
More classic story arcs.
Is better in literally every category.
Thats a damn lie. GoT gets better, BB last season was azz.

I think many ppl who don't like the show are the ones who came in late, after the hype....and then binge watched expecting it to move faster than it did.

I myself came in late(right as season 4 was over), but I was oblivious to most of the hype. I didnt know the premise of teh show or any of the actors.

It was all new to me and each episode had just enough to hold me to the next....and it just kept getting better to me.

This is a wildly unpopular opinion that will never gain traction outside of a few Daps on a message board. :yeshrug:

As someone who used to sell drugs...and hang around people who sold drugs...i could never get into the show...just in the first 3 episodes I found myself saying "He'd be dead if he did that...He'd be dead if he did that...his family would be dead if he did that." Outside of the DEA stuff, the drug angle of the show...which is a major part of the show...is so far off...yet somehow it seems to me that they actually tried to make it realistic...

Also, I invariably end up comparing this show to the wire...and to me, the wires worst season ( season 2 ) is better than whatever breaking bad's best season is...

Cranston was masterful in this...Paul was entertaining in this...but after that...nah

I can understand that
And it’s true
You gotta suspend your belief for the show

It’s like a comic book tv series

Not sure how season 5 is gonna go, that season 4 ending felt like a series finale. Hopefully it doesnt jump the shark here :patrice:

The best episode of the entire series is actually in season 5. You'll know it when you see it.
