Definite change of pace once you hit S3. Stick with it. | | | |
Breaking Bad - what am I missing? on 17:15 - Jun 6 with 3874 views | BrixtonBlue | Possibly part of the appeal when it was first out was that no-one knew what was coming and everyone was talking about it. It does start getting more and more fecked up, but I'm not exactly sure when. | |

For me it picked up significantly half way through series 3. I recommend you watch to the end of the third series then see if you feel it is worth persevering with. I watched it all a couple of years ago and while overall i enjoyed it I didn't think it quite lived up to the hype. [Post edited 6 Jun 2020 17:46]

Yep, it gets really bloody good, and has some of the best characters in any TV show of the last decade. | |

Breaking Bad - what am I missing? on 17:51 - Jun 6 with 3755 views | GlasgowBlue | I couldn't get past the third of fourth episode of season one. Then I went back after a few years and tried it again, determined to stick with it. It get's much better when they introduce characters like Saul Goodman, Mike Ehrmantraut and Gus Fring. | |

Breaking Bad - what am I missing? on 18:29 - Jun 6 with 3718 views | Romeo4 | Loved Breaking Bad which just got better and better as it went through. Better Call Saul is also worth a watch afterwards. I've still got The Sopranos to watch at some point soon. Currently watching The Marvellous Mrs Maisel (thanks to a recommendation on TWTD). Very different to what i would usually watch but actually quite enjoying it (as is Mrs Romeo). | | | |
Breaking Bad - what am I missing? on 18:38 - Jun 6 with 3691 views | Westover | I took a while to get into it but watch to the end it's the best TV I've seen. | | | |
Breaking Bad - what am I missing? on 18:39 - Jun 6 with 3688 views | flimflam | It certainly does get better. Just finished all series of BCS back to back as never got round to watching it and I actually think once it hits season 3 is better than BB!?!? Crazy I know. | |

I was sat opposite a lad from Newcastle called Gary on a train once who was on the phone arranging delivery of a posh sport car When he finished we got chatting and I asked what he did. He looked a bit surprised ands said Im Gaz in Geordie Shore then added you probably wouldn't know that as you aren't my key demographic | |

Well, if you asked for his autograph I think we could pinpoint why you don't like the other stuff. | |

I liked that too, jolly good series. Dunno if you saw it but there's one or two ideas on this if you're looking: https://www.twtd.co.uk/forum/481451/page:1#top | |

I’ve just started Ozark - probably the closest thing I’ve seen to BB. I’m halfway through season 1 and I would say it’s on a par with second half of S2 BB, which makes it about 20% as good as S3-5 BB. The thing is, S1 and S5 of BB could barely be more different. Don’t get me wrong, I liked S1 but it’s like a completely different TV series. Midway through S2 (once we progress beyond Tucco being the main villain) it just gets better and better. If we were to compare each season of BB to an ITFC season I would say: - S1 is like 04/05 under Royale. Exciting, a bit random (eg Kuqi) but ultimately left you underwhelmed. - S2 is like 77/78. Frustrating, highs and lows, but with the most incredible run towards the end. - S3 is like 2000/01 in the prem. A joyride of subverting expectations with hardly a down moment. Leaves you thinking you’re on the cusp of greatness. - S4 is like 79/80. Everything starts to fall into place, constant highs, possibly the single finest episode in history (Ipswich 6-0 Man Utd). - S5 is 80/81. You knew coming in it would be special, it was outstanding performance after outstanding performance, there were a couple of tears shed along the way, and ultimately it had the most perfect finish.

Breaking Bad - what am I missing? on 08:11 - Jun 7 with 3318 views | nodge_blue | Its a slowish start but honestly it gets better and better as it goes through the series. Walter starts to evolve and they get deeper into the dark world of drugs and gangsters. I think its fantastic. Stick with it. | |
