Breaking Bad

I think the hype of breaking bad really got to me. Found the series to be lacking. It was solid... Glad I watched... Wish there was more surprises and plot twists.

I'd give it a B-.

I will watch better call Saul for sure
 
Probably mad that I JUST finished it... And Walt's ******* wife didn't take a bullet in the head. I hoped for that since season one.

It really was a good show. I just hated that ugly *****

I think waiting week to week for Breaking Bad created a better experience than Netflix. A lot of suspense and overanalyzing what would happen by everyone. Some great cliffhangers throughout the series.
 
Breaking bad partially ruined TV for me, because so many shows are now unwatchable because of how good breaking bad was.

Skylar was very conflicting for me. She wasn't particularly likable and did some awful things, but can you imagine what she was put through? She was just trying to support a sick husband and their kids in the beginning.

You wanted to be sympathetic for her, but at the end of the day you just couldn't. She's a white collar criminal that cooked the books for the boss that she was ****ing, and then when she found out just how much $$$ Walt was bringing in she went back to him and willingly laundered the $$$ for him with her own laundering scheme. She's a criminal judging her dying husband for his criminal activities, and when she wasn't happy with him she was trying to speed up his lung cancer by smoking around him.

Honestly, between Skylar and Walt, I'm not sure which is the worse human being. The people I really feel sorry for in this show were the kids and Skylar's sister (for all the character problems she had).
 
BTW, Gus Fring's "Pop" doll might be the best in the entire series

Whoa up, there, Podnahs. You seem to be forgetting that almost everyone in the series "broke bad", not just Walt. No matter how you felt about any of them, even the DEA agents were not 100% pure. Even many of the children are bad, working for the dopers, shooting people, and don't forget to remember Flynn's high-handed moralistic judgment of his father... In her defense, Skylar is no exception and not even the worst of the bunch.

No, the most despicable woman in the series is not Skylar, and not even the heinous Lydia, but that nasty, lying, thieving piece of work, Marie. Either her or Jesse's mom. Even Ain't No Skank was less of a skank than these last two.

Here, for everyone's enjoyment, that delicious "I Hain't No Skank" skank:

Fun fact: my son goes to the high school where a lot of school scenes from the show were filmed.

Some more BB stuff... My brother is good friends with Agent Gomie, and appeared on his talk show a few times. Gomie now has a comedy club here that is inside a casino. My brother headlined there recently and sold the place out.

I went to one of my brother's shows at a small venue years ago and I was outside smoking with a couple friends. A car drives by and the driver was staring at us. He turned around and drove over to us, gets out of his car and says "hey guys, I'm Combo from Breaking Bad." Ok, that's kinda weird he doesn't introduce himself by his real name. Anyways, he hung out for a bit and smoked with us. Talked about Breaking Bad the entire time.

Took the kids Xmas shopping years ago and afterwards my older boy wanted to go by some of the BB spots, as he had started watching the show. We drove by Pinkman's house and they had a huge TV you could see from the street, kids got excited because they were watching Phineas and Ferb.

Me: “oh let’s totally talk about breaking bad as if it’s a brand new thread”
