I may be a little behind here, but I just started watching this show, and I'm now completely hooked on it. I figured that some of you might also be fans, and it would be fun to start a thread to talk about it.

(I just finished Season 3, so please no spoilers for Season 4!)

Great show! Vince Gilligan was also behind the X-Files. I think it's interesting as the series has gone forward how Gilligan and the writing staff have made Walter more and more unsympathetic. He's turned into an antagonist.

I know! I was really rooting him for him in the beginning, but it gets harder and harder. I always find myself feeling really sorry for Jesse. It seems like he gets a lot of the fallout from Walt's actions. The Season 3 ending had me in tears.

Me too. I actually choked up when I saw it coming. The poor guy was in way over his head, but obviously didn't deserve what happened to him.

I know! I had to buy Season 4. I just couldn't wait to watch it.

I finished season 4, and I can't believe how it wrapped up! Now I'm hanging on for Season 5.

I love that show! I'm not caught up either, but that sounds like a good thing to do this week.

You should. It gets so crazy in the fourth season, and the finale is incredible.

That was one of the shows I missed so my plan is to get the full disk set.. But I here it is pretty cool... [smilie=hi ya!.gif]

If you have Netflix, the first three seasons are all on there.

Awesome idea! I just read that the fifth season will be starting in July!

mixierose · **Posted:** Mon Jul 23, 2012 12:31 pm

Has anyone been watching the new season? I'm loving it so far, and have the feeling it's going to get really crazy soon.

crumbie · **Posted:** Mon Jul 23, 2012 12:41 pm

I started watching it 2 weeks ago and went on a mini marathon.
I coincidently finished watching the entire series a day before the new season started.

even though I watched all the episodes almost non stop for days (thats just what I do sometimes)... I wasn't that impressed with it.
i thought it was good, but it didn't live up to the hype for me
i'm not invested in the characters.

caressakisses · **Posted:** Tue Jul 24, 2012 1:02 am

I have been wanting to watch it maybe you can help me start :wink:

Breaking Bad is my favorite show. The plot is extremely tight, the characters are compelling, and the acting is great throughout. I honestly cannot think of another show with this many characters that has no bad actors.

I hear such great things about this show and it has a huge following. Looks like a marathon of the episodes is in my future.

I agree! I think it would be a crime for Bryan Cranston to not get an Emmy this year. His transition to totally becoming "Heisenberg" has been one hell of a ride.

If you have Netflix, seasons 1-4 are all on there! It's so worth watching, and a marathon is the best way!

I honestly think it's the best show since HBO's THE WIRE. Were you put off by how totally evil Walt became?

So, I don't even know how to turn a TV on, let alone change the channel.. I just never have the urge to watch TV. HOWEVER, I caught an episode of this at a friends house, and immediately went out and bought the first three seasons on DVD. I'm hooked!

na, I like character development like this, it just wasn't compelling enough for me
as I mentioned, the show doesn't live up to the hype it has generated... for me anyway. it's good, just not as good I thought it would be.
I haven't seen THE WIRE but it is on my 'to watch' list.

I think if we ever sat down together, I believe we'd have a great chat about tv and movies

i don't watch a whole lot of tv shows. usually, you're just killing time. but when i saw AMC was gonna do a show called Breaking Bad, about a high school chemistry teacher who gets cancer and decides that, in order to leave his family with a little cash before he checks out, he's gonna use his chem expertise to cook some crank and make some real money, i thought, WOW. that's pretty bold! and sure as hell no network is gonna take a shot on a show like that.

i am now totally strung out on the show. we are now three episodes into season 5, which will run 8 shows. the end of BB is season six, with the final 8 episodes. as a tv series, it's just the best. period. and i know there are many people who rave about Mad Men, which is a very good show. but.....it's not Breaking Bad. these days, when i see movies, i compare them to BB. most of the time, if a movie's decent, i say that it's "almost as good as BB." that's how amazing BB is most of the time. season 4 was absolutlely brainblowing. week in and week out. stunningly good drama involving all these great and vivid characters. Gus Fring.....the coolest bad guy in the history of tv! and gus's fate....unbelievable.!

anyway, i could rave on and on. if you're interested, there's only one thing to do. one right way to join the party. start at the beginning. that's it. don't worry about season 5 going on right now. it'll be there for you when you're ready. start with the outrageous pilot episode. a landmark television show. and just mow down the seasons, right through to the end of season 4. if you dig t.v. drama, get ready for one helluva ride. but just do it the right way. you'll get there. i had a friend who started watching last year, and she wanted to get caught up. she watched the first three seasons in a week. and then, hopped on for season 4. it's just a great show.........the writing is SO good.......this is NOT a show for dummies, but a seriously NOW kind of .....oh god, i gotta just shut up and watch last week's episode. The boys are gettin ready to cook!

Brand new issue of Rolling Stone......Walt and Jesse on the cover! Great profile of the boys and series mastermind Vince Gilligan.....

Slednx · **Posted:** Sun Aug 05, 2012 9:04 am

I use to think that the "Sopranos" was as good a television could get. That is until "Breaking Bad". The best cable series ever, no doubt. There is no better acting or story lines on TV today. Been a huge fan after I became hooked during season 2, now my Sunday nights are like religion. Turned on a lot of people to the show, everyone of them has thanked me for doing so. Nothing else like it has ever been on television.

The show just doesn't let you down. Remember the huge let down with the last episode of the Sopranos? Compare that to last seasons finale when Gus "exited" the show. Seriously, was that frikken awesome or what? Those writers give the viewers what they want. I LOVE "Breaking Bad"!

I have never heard of the show but with all the info in here, it seems I have been missing out .
I need to catch up on tv

Oh man, that finale with Gus was AMAZEBALLS! I just love the balls that the writers have. The ending of this last episode had me absolutely stunned. The acting on this show is incredible.

I couldn't agree with you more! The writers consistently amaze me with how bold they get with their story lines. Most TV shows wouldn't dare attempt the things they pull off. They just added season 4 to Netflix, so it's really easy to start at the beginning for anyone who hasn't watched it.
