Breaking Bad - US/Netflix pace discussion

Midway through season 3 and I have to say it's a bit dull.

I'm genuinely concerned for your health and well being

Nothing much happens Pubes, it's just drifting IMHO.

I'll still keep up with it.

 

[Pubey]

Yep. Keep going

Nearly finished series 3 and now I can say that whilst this programme can be great, it also has very, very dull episodes. I almost turned off "The Fly" episode (where they spend the entire episode trying to kill a fly, and Walt very nearly admits too....)

I've never been bored with a single episode of The Sopranos/Game Of Thrones/Mad Men and that's why (in my eyes) it'll never be a good as those shows.

 

[Pubey]

The Fly is a great episode. Really crucial for the development of Jesse and Walt's relationship. Keep going. It's only when you continue that you realise how key some of the 'boring' moments are

 

[Beefy]

The Fly is an awesome episode. One of my favourites. It definitely polarises opinion though.

 

[BaileytheQuitter]

I thought the fly episode was dull. But, one dull episode out of 5 seasons isn't bad at all.

I loved the bit where skinny Pete was playing the keyboard!

We finished on Sunday night, both Mrs Drastic & me agree - best tv show ever. Brilliant ending....and the alternate ending was great too

 

[MK Shrimper]

Don't get me wrong, it's good - very good at times. But in my opinion I can't buy into the "best TV programme ever" shtick that seems to surround it.

Yeah but you don't like The Wire so your views are invalid!:smile:

I don't think BB is the best TV programme ever. It's quality though.

Only finished watching last week. Absolutely incredible show 10/10. Those last 5-6 episodes really were something else. I feel a big hole now I've finished watching.

errrmmmm? WHERE CAN I SEE THIS?

Is it anything to do with Malcolm In The Middle?

 

[MK Shrimper]

Started the final series.

  Spoiler:  

The death of Gus was just brilliant. He walked out the room, adjusted his tie, and I though how the ****....then we see the OTHER side of his face....!

Haven't seen any reference to this: http://www.theguardian.com/tv-and-r...king-bad-mike-better-call-saul-jonathan-banks

Breaking Bad prequel, Better Call Saul.

I'm halfway through the last series.

 

[Davros]

Started on 7th Jan, now up to series 5, ep 5. Almost there. This series is awesome!

P.s - Skyler is a b!tch

 

[MK Shrimper]

After a blitz last night, that's Breaking Bad done. Great few final episodes - even if some huge gaping plot holes opened up at the end. Overall, a very good programme indeed and well worth investing in if you've not seen it.

Breaking Bad, overall I give you 7.5/10
