Breaking Bad

[JamJam]

Seems like it's getting a lot of love from the people here on the forums. I'll likely check this out but can anyone tell me what it's about? I know there's Google for this, but it'd be nice to hear from the viewers who actually watch it.

A high school chemistry teacher finds out he has lung cancer, so he starts making and distributing Meth with a former student to raise money to pay for his medical treatment and also for there to be money for his family if he passes away.

I have yet to meet anyone who has started watching this show & NOT gotten sucked in & love it.

 

[JamJam]

Ha, will definitely check it out then. But from what I've heard, season 1 starts out the series a little slow. But the story really picks up in season 2. True, yeah?

 

[Poop Master Flex]

I started watching this show 8 days ago. It literally took me 5 minutes to get sucked in. The 1st season is just a tease but still really good. I'm only a little ways into season 2 but its seeming to pick up.

I was actually wondering the other day when the Breaking Bad thread was going to be revived with the new season 2 days away.

I'll just say this, I'm very hard-headed when it comes to people giving me suggestions, whether it be music, movies or tv. But I was home sick from school this year on one day, and was bored on the couch, turned on Netflix and decided what the hell, my dads been begging me to watch this for months. I started on season one, and quite literally spent the entire day watching season one. Id say it took me about two and a half weeks to watch all 4 seasons. I could not focus on anything else because it had really took over 100% of my attention.

Needless to say, I'd recommend watching it! Haha

I'm right in the middle of season 2. It's not as mind-blowingly awesome as people make it out to be, but I'll definitely be watching season 4 live.

Breaking Bad is one of those rare shows that get progressively better as the seasons go on. You'll realize how brilliant the show is by the end of season 3. And by the end of season 4? You'll be harping it as one of the greatest shows of all time, if not the greatest. Just wait and see.

Season 1 is in the books, man what a show. Haha. Definitely lovin' it!

Exactly! Question for you though, Money in the Bank or the premier of Season 5? I know DVR is always an option but both of these I will be requiring to see live, what will you be doing in this situation?

 

[Moon Knight]

I have Dish Network......

Well, considering I've only watched one WWE pay-per-view live the past 5 years, this is an easy call... Breaking Bad all the way.

If you're a massive wrestling fan though who orders all the pay-per-views and what not, I suggest going ahead and watching Money in the Bank though. It should easily be one of the best WWE shows this year, and AMC will be showing a replay of BB right after the season premiere, so right when MITB is over you can check out Breaking Bad.

I have Dish Network......

That sucks, man. These fucking cable networks and cable providers need to quit being so fucking greedy. It's beyond pathetic at this point.

Dish was being a little bitch, it looks more like they just did it out of revenge over a 2008 breach of contract lawsuit by the channels owners. I have netflix, but that is only the first 3 seasons of Breaking Bad and 1 season of The Walking Dead.


Viacom is pathetic. Demanding a 30% increase in fees from DirecTV is beyond stupid, more so since their ratings are dropping across the board. Good for DirecTV in refusing to raise their rates any further and dropping them.

IMO, I think these companies should just start streaming their channels directly to you and bypass these companies all together.

I was shown two episodes by my brother recently, I don't know which season they were from. I'm sorry to say I didn't understand the love at all, but I'm obviously in the minority. I think I may try another episode just to make sure.

 

[smizzy]

DAMN! What'd you guys think of that episode! Season 5 has rekindled that Breaking Bad fire in me!

You really should just try to watch the pilot episode so that you may get a little better idea of what is going on. But I understand, it's impossible for something to appeal to everyone.

 

[Serious Mozzarella]

I'm a few episodes into season 3, and Jesus Christ, Gus has said all of 10 words through 7 episodes, and he's the best character on the show so far.

Also, fuck Skyler. Fuck her to death.

 

[#1Peep]

I just finally finished the Sopranos - fucking amazing.

I'm looking for a new show and I was thinking this or Boardwalk Empire. What would you guys suggest?
