Breaking Bad

[hyperbole]

I wish I could forget this show just so I could watch it again. For me personally Breaking Bad is easily the best and most iconic show ever made.
 

just binge watching it again after a long time and can’t appreciate enough the acting, script writing and direction. Best thing about breaking bad was that every episode was created equally, no saving all the action for the finale

Every series show has a cult following with 5 star ratings from binge watching. Viewers forgive producers even if they make a couple of episodes suck bad. Breaking bad has some lousy episodes too - like the fly in the lab they try to catch and they spend a whole episode on it which is boring.

These series shows also use tricks like jumping right into adult content to grab more viewership - like wife maasturbating hubby right in the first episode. Also see the 2nd episode of Game of Thrones. Holy crap!

+1 

100% agree. 

once we start binge watching invariably we want to finish even if the quality is going down but we just don't notice it because we are attached to those characters. 

I felt that with The wire or GOT as well but I still watched them all without skipping

I think it would be a great achievement as a director/creator if they can captivate a viewer who is watching just that one episode. Most episodes are built that way anyway with recaps at the beginning.

They create a clever continuity from one episode to another making us wait for the next episode eagerly, resulting in Binge watching.

Binge watching issue is the reason I shy away from series shows. Watching a 50 episode series could take weeks which I could use to do more productive things in life instead

No Breaking Bad is different from other series - I watched some heavy hitters like The Wire, Dexter, GOT, House of Cards and Sopranos. Each has merits and demerits, Breaking Bad does a uniform justice in all departments- Bryan cranston was in total realm actingwise.

Fly in the lab although poorly received but in my opinion it has a deep meaning on the reflection of Mr. White’s changing obsessive  behavior and also compares to the obsessiveness of Gus Fring when he talks to him employee about the batter/fried chicken. His eccentric behavior and obsession to control, frustration to control others are delivered through that episode. Basically taking you through the process of breaking bad on how the protagonists character evolved as the series progresses. It is the only episode which rated below 8.0 on IMDB but I don’t have much to complain.

It's an okay show but I can't remember anything from it.  It works as a novel though really well.

I can remember a whole lot of scenes from Lost. Twin Peaks. Even person of interest. Haha. I remember even Chuck scenes

But for some reason I can't remember any scene from bb. But I liked the show

Wow. I don't even remember fly episode. You guys are way better at watching series.

Breaking bad tries to be cool, and is cool for a season but it quickly descends into mayhem.

I think it's due to uncool nerdy main character. 

I prefer actually cool shows like Firefly, cowboy bebop, steins gate

I used to watch regularly person of interest on TV but missed last 2-3 seasons and never got a chance to complete the series.  Next on my list. It is good but no where near to be considered in the same league as BB

hands down one of the best shows..i am a great fan of how they created walts character..the transition of his character from feared to fearless is so smooth that viewers will not even realize until they go back n watch the 1st couple of episodes

I like prison break and then any series. 

[megadheera]

My all time favorite.

We know that but they did not have drag on to spend a whole episode on catching a fly - like they ran out of ideas.
