If you are interested in watching the show, but can't really get into it.

Season 3 is the prime part of the show where it starts getting really good. You can kind of go without seeing Season 2. Season 1 is worth seeing just to get a feel for the show. I remember finishing Season 1, and thinking it was OK enough to start season 2, but nothing spectacular. Most of the stuff from one and two you can be filled in on, it has great moments though.

I am LOVING Season 3. I can't wait to finish it.

Can you explain how that works?

So I have the porcelain clown that you see Skylar packing away in a box, searched online to see if I can find one somewhere with no luck and wondering if I should try and sell it...

NARMAK · 12-21-2013, 01:01 AM

I actually find this show a totally depressing piece of drivel so far tbvh. None of the characters are likable in any way, shape or form. Walt starts off fine and the more it develops I just think he's an A-hole!

Aaron Pauls character Jesse also has no redeeming quality at all and I don't like his wife Skyler with the way she acts out annoys the hell out of me. Even Walt Jr. is underused and Hank is probably the most 'likable' of th cast but is annoying as the 'Alpha' male, past it Jock of high school type trying to hold onto his glory days.

I just feel genuinely disappointed coming towards the end of season 2 and hope it improves into the show everybody had been hyping up. In fact, I think Suits, Arrow and Game of Thrones are better shows. Heck, Boardwalk Empire cranked me into liking it sooner than this.

I want to make sure I can give the most accurate review of the show but it's not a leap to say that I dislike the show up to this point and its an easy 5/10 so far for me to give it. In fact, I feel like 95% of the cast could be shot and killed off and the show would have been more exciting.

xander · 12-21-2013, 01:46 AM

If you seriously think Arrow is a better show, just let it go. Not everything is for everyone and BB clearly isn't to your taste. It's not going to get any sunnier in later seasons. Spend your time watching something you'll enjoy.

It was better for me would be the most accurate thing to say I guess. I thought I would genuinely enjoy Breaking Bad with all the good things people were saying and the rating on Netflix. I will be watching it to completion because I like to give things their fair share before I give an overall score.

Thanks for letting me know it doesn't get any sunnier. I'll just keep it to an episode a day from now. Watch Chuck etc.

That I get. And I hope my post didn't read as I was trying to belittle your opinon by bringing up Arrow. Like you, I watch a lot of tv, and like Arrow and shows like it (MASSIVE Supernatural fan, yes, even in it's later seasons) a great deal, as genre style tv.

I totally empathize with you on not liking something that was universally praised. For me it's Mad Men. People rave about it, tons of awards and I tried so hard (made it through Season 4), but it just never took.

And yes, getting a feel for what you don't like about BB leads me to think you're going to dislike it more as it goes. Kudos for sticking with it though.

The best part of tv is we have plenty to watch. Cheers!

I think we're fortunate that there are some truly amazing shows. For me, I would say almost every show I watched has been good and usually praised. Some just hook you I guess while some like Breaking Bad kinda split you. I thought I might have warmed up to it based on my experience with Boardwalk Empire. But no luck two seasons in.

Watching Battlestar Galactica atm and its off to a nice start for me and I still have nostalgia from watching the original series episodes on TV as a kid.

I've seen about 1.5 seasons of this on Net Flix and really not impressed so far, will probably give it another chance once I have regular access to Net Flix again but not holding my breath that I will change my opinion on it.

I don't trust anyone who has an opinion that spells Netflix Net Flix

Considering I'm not a subscriber and I rarely use it, it's not that surprising that I would misspell it but to be fair I am a spelling fanatic myself. Still going to give it another shake, figure it might be worth it.

It's the best series ever on TV so...

Its all subjective and I hope this was a sarcastic statement and not serious. I'd put Game of Thrones as my personal number 1.

Dispatch Ninja · 12-22-2013, 01:13 PM

Breaking bad is easily my favorite series ever, Game of thrones is my 2nd favorite. About to pre order that Jesse bobblehead and can't wait for the gatefold vinyl next month.

Yep! Best ever. GoT isn't even remotely close to it. No way.

TDSOTM · 12-22-2013, 04:02 PM

Yeah, Game of Thrones is not even close to being as good as Breaking Bad. Only The Sopranos and The Wire are.
