Breaking Bad or supposedly the best tv show since the wire

[Sp!der]

So, I have not seen this show yet but plan on watching it this year, I tried the pilot two years ago but wasn't that much impressed. So now this spring most of my friends are talkin about breaking bad and how it is the best show ever, so I wanted to know your opinion, if you have watched it, why is it so good ?

Same as you, watched the first 3 episodes and was not hooked, so I gave up, but a lot of people say it´s good?
But is the same as "True Blood" many people like it but IMO one of the worst shows on TV, I have even watched one season, but the show is really bad.

I like true blood, it's something like a guilty pleasure for me I started it because i liked Anna paquin but now she's my least favorite character

I think i watched True Blood because the music in the episode where granny was killed was really superb, and I secretly hoped it could go on like that.

I haven't seen a full episode of Breaking Bad, but what i saw didn't really impress me, i might give it another go like later this year or next year

True. Still, the soundtrack is fangtastic, well the selected songs....

The writing and acting (and cinematography) are fantastic. Bryan Cranston is probably the best actor on television at the moment (hence his three consecutive Emmys), which combined with the writing makes Walter White one of the greatest characters in TV fiction. The show is largely focused around him and Jesse (also brilliantly acted by Aaron Paul), with a strong and intelligently-used supporting cast. Season 3 introduces one of TV's best villains.

It's definitely a slow-burner for large parts of the first two seasons, but that just makes it all the more satisfying when the **** really hits the fan. Seasons three and four aren't really that much faster paced, but they really ratchet up the tension (and increase the frequency of "holy ****" moments).

Hm... Thanks... but first I decided I will watch JUSTIFIED and SONS OF ANARCHY ( wanted to watch both shows in years !) so Breaking Bad has to wait anyway..

Edit - watched the pilot thought it was pretty good, want to see more

I started watching Breaking Bad this past Sunday. I am currently watching the Season 3 finale.

This show is amazing.

[mr_kennedy]

^ re-watch right? i flew through the first four seasons season 4 only took me like 4 days i know there short seasons but i loved it so much

[DigiFluid]

Nope, this is my first time seeing it

[mr_kennedy]

Nope, this is my first time seeing it

Yeah it was my first time too, your gonna enjoy the fourth season omg soo good

Only 2nd to The Walking Dead as far as my favorite shows go

All caught up on Saturday. Holy hell what a show. Having to wait week-to-week for Season 5 episodes is going to be murder

What an amazing show. All the actors are incredible, even for the characters I loathe (cough Skyler cough).

But the real hazard of watching all four seasons of this in seven days? I want to punctuate every other sentence with "b*tch" Damn you, Aaron Paul! (B*tch!)

[mr_kennedy]

i watched the four seasons in 13 days and yeah i started using the word alot too, i said to a mate who is both a stargate fan and a breaking bad fan i said ***** is the new indeed

Skyler wasn't such a ***** (there's that word again ) in the last season i thought, but yeah from seasons 1-3 just about every episode she had me uttering the words what a ***** (and again)

[DigiFluid]

I cracked up sooo much when

Big season 4 spoiler

Spoiler:

Saul's amateur goons were shaking down Ted and he tried to run, but tripped on his rug and died. So horrible, so hilarious

The ending of season 4 though, the very end I mean...

'Breaking Bad' Creator Secretly Introduced Season Five's Villains Two Years Ago

If "Breaking Bad" creator Vince Gilligan has only one thing in common with his increasingly dangerous protagonist Walter White, it's this: the two men pay attention to the details.

Gilligan, a veteran of "The X-Files" before going on to create the critically revered AMC drug drama, introduced a potential new big bad to the "Breaking Bad" universe this season in the form of Madrigal Electromotive GmbH, a German corporation he describes as "something the size of General Electric, except based in Hanover, Germany."

"We're going to meet a couple of these executives who, in the past, have worked very closely with Gustavo Fring, bankrolling his operation, his Pollos Hermanos empire," Gilligan told MTV News at Comic-Con of the big new corporate entity, which he introduced in "Madrigal," the second episode of the show's current fifth season. "The question that arises is, is this an evil empire in its entirety? Or is this just a few executives who were bad apples in this otherwise more-or-less neutral company?"

That might be the current question, but here's one bit of trivia you likely don't know: season five is not the first time Madrigal's been mentioned. Actress Betsy Brandt, who stars on "Breaking Bad" as Walt's sister-in-law Marie, asked Gilligan during the interview when he first planned to introduce a German element to the crystal meth saga.

"There is a [season three] Easter egg, in all seriousness, if you watch very closely," Gilligan answered, referring to the episode "Kafkaesque." "In the teaser, that first opening sequence of the episode, we created a Pollos Hermanos commercial. We created a commercial for Gus' empire. If you look very closely at the end of the commercial, there's a tiny bit of legalese that says 'copyright Madrigal Electromotive GmbH.' It's there, going back two seasons.'"

"I didn't even know that," a visibly impressed Dean Norris (who plays Marie's DEA husband Hank) said upon learning of the twist. His on-screen wife was even more stunned. "Oh my god," she gushed. "Vince Gilligan, you are a genius!"

i like breaking bad a lot. well written, well directed and well acted. i don't think it's the best show since the wire (which for me is the best show ever on all fronts), but it is pretty damn good.

Enjoying the build-up in season 5 so far. I'm glad they kept Mike around. Great character.
