Breaking Bad
- Thread starter Colossus
- Start date
I loved Season 4, but my favorite so far was Season 3. Seasons 1 and 2 were on a different level, quality wise. They were quite good, but didn't reach the unbelievable awesomeness of 3 and 4 IMO.
The best episode of any TV drama I have ever seen is the season finale of Season 3.
Are there any Dish Network customers that are freaking out about the new season? I just saw that AMC is airing the season premiere online to help out Dish subscribers, but it sounds like its only going to be the first week.
Agree Breaking Bad is absolutely great. Starts slow but picks up big time... Most Critics feel season one is the the weakest then better every year.
Suprised nobody is talking about "The Wire" as the Second Best show? If you haven't seen it put it on your list.
(I haven't watched Dexter yet so I can't comment. I do plan too, heard good things from everybody, but keep putting it off for a rainy day.)
I've seen the wire. It's a good show. But to me it's not even in the same conversation as Breaking Bad and Dexter.
I also disagree that it starts off slow. The pilot episode is insane from the beginning. For me it's non stop goodness, that gets better and better with each season.
Granted the pilot is very good. Just it goes from a 8.5 on a scale of 10 and up from there... took a while for the characters (other than Cranston) to develop but after eposode 4 I was and am hooked. I can understand someone stopping after episode 2 and not getting the obsession with the series. Super excited for Sunday though.
And as for the Wire not being great... well it is the only show that rivials Breaking Bad IMHO. The character development from Seaon 1-5 with a plan for the entire story to Be wrapped in a nice lil bow in the finale is truly impressive.
Actually I may have to rewatch it.
My wife and I just started watching Breaking Bad and jammed through the first four seasons in a bout a month. Very good show.
I'd have to go with the season finale of Dexter season 4 (the John Lithgow season). Best single episode of television I've ever seen.
Interesting. Saul always makes Mrs. Velo and me chuckle. If it happened, it could be absolutely awesomely great or epically bad.
I could see that being pretty fun, not sure where they would go with it but Saul has been a great character, 2nd favorite behind Jesse.
I so wanted them to kill off Jesse in the first season or so, he annoyed me to no end. But they did a fantastic job of developing his character. Great show.
Yeah the character is great but I'm not sure it's the kind of character that can carry a show. If it does end up happening, it'll be interesting to see what they do.
You would need some really great characters to go along with him and have the show pretty evenly distributed between them. I don't think a show completely centered around Saul would be all that great.
It would be interesting to say the least. I am willing to bet everyone that watches BB would at least give it a shot.
It will be a show about how Saul moves back to Seattle to take care of his father who was shot during a drug exchange. His brother, also a drug dealer/strong arm, lives in Seattle as well. The brother is secretly in love with Saul's maid.
