I finished it and it wasn’t that good
ITT: lemmites circlejerking about how big a contrarian they are.
I stoped at one if the ep where walter is with his family and its just depressing silence for a few minutes. Unbearable…
I couldn’t get through Episode one for how horrible it is. I absolutely cant stand that show it’s so just. Dumb in my opinion. It was so bad I wanted to watch something else just to stop it or do anything else.
I got tired of the characters doing stupid things… Repeatedly
Hey, look, I’m with you, and to tell you the truth, I didn’t even watched itm
I gave up on this show the day Vince Gilligan was born. I knew from that day forward he was destined to be a terrible screenwriter. I vowed to never watch anything he would create.
Bet you can’t even write a single paragraph on why you think he sucks if you have to put in something objective.
Im absolutely shitposting. To be clear.
I’ve watched Breaking Bad in it’s entirety over a dozen times, BCS at least 4 times, El Camino twice. Finished Pluribus already. The only thing I haven’t really got into fanatically is X-files, but I don’t dislike it.
Oh. Sorry. I’m having a bad day and there’s always stupid ppl online, but I should’ve prolly caught that, haha. My b, bredda
You’re good, you couldn’t have known I wasn’t serious. There are people that really would despise Gilligan’s work that much.
The only thing I dislike of his is that fucking island.
If it takes 30 episodes to not be boring, it’s not a good show.
BB wasn’t bad though, I just was completely unable to connect with it.
one piece is awesome bro, i swear bro you just have to sit through about 150 episodes bro where it’s kinda bad bro, but it’s awesome bro i swear bro.
I hate watching shows where you’re supposed to hate everyone. BB is one of those shows. Like how is that entertainment?
do you MST3K comment on your shows or do you sit back and take them in?
The joke is that episode 30 “Fly” is famously the lowest-rated episode of the series. At 7.9/10.
Interestingly, that was the episode that made me stop watching.
I suspect I just don’t normally like watching shows about miserable people making other miserable people even more miserable, which made the fact that I really enjoyed Boardwalk Empire a surprise.
Guess there must be some other element to it.
Hm… yeah, I get that (not the part about Boardwalk Empire, haven’t seen that yet). Most people in BB are definitely miserable!
I liked BB a lot, especially on a second watch through many years later, but the main reason is probably just that I can understand why each character behaves the way they do - the writing is consistently “realistic” in a manner I haven’t really seen anywhere else with a comparable length.
I gave it up at season 2 when I first started watching.
Then I watched Better Call Saul years later and it was one of my all time favourites. Then I went back to Breaking Bad and liked it even better than Better Call Saul. Breaking Bad didn’t resonate with me initially and I’m so very glad I have it another chance.
Did you watch the movie el camino after bb? We just finished both for probably the 5th time, will watch bcs again this summer.
I haven’t. Thanks for the recommendation. I’ve added it to my watchlist.
It’s not a great movie, but it wraps up Jessie’s story pretty well. I liked it. Solid 7 in the BB universe. Lots of cameos too, which was cool.
I’m completely up for watching average media. When did we become too good for average? 5/10 is enough for me to give something a shot. Maybe even 4/10 if someone tells me it had some nugget of value.
Oh, I watch “avg” shit all the time. Anaconda only got a 4 on imdb, that shit was amazing. I don’t trust the numbers always. And siskel and ebert rated tommy boy the worst movie they’ve ever seen. Lmao. They can’t be trusted with reviews.
The third season really became boring as fuck somewhere half through it. Totally missed the density and speed of the first season. I think the fact that they got a contract to produce five seasons made them stretch the plot to the point where basically nothing happened over certain episodes. Compare that with the speed in which the early plot moved…
Third season is where I gave up. First two were good but didn’t draw me in enough to slog through the absolute snooze fest of the third. I’ve never been interested in going back.
Exactly, well written, well acted but the absence of sympathetic protagonists killed it for me. I just couldn’t care.
I liked that they weren’t afraid to have the main character so unlikable. It also made more sense after I realized it was a Neo-Western.
yesssssss
I hate those shows where the first 3-6 episodes are just slow dramatic shots with no plot whatsoever
I vaguely remember some spy show where you didn’t learn any character names until episode 2or those where if you didn’t read the book you haven’t the slightest clue what’s happening for basically the entire first season
BB was a little slow at times. For that reason I don’t think it was as great as some people make it out to be.
I liked Better Call Saul a lot more. Didn’t seem as slow. But also seems like they didn’t really finish it properly or wrap up all the story arcs, which was a bummer.
I remember watching it. I don’t remember anything about it.
I felt breaking bad would have been better as 3 seasons instead of 5. The middle just dragged on too long.
Everyone I know has stopped watching in Season 2, including me.
So glad I finished it though. It’s worth it after you get out of that rut.
You really did need to watch the entirety of malcolm in the middle after season 3 to get the full lore.
Not really everyone lives happily ever after
I gave up after one episode and deleted my Netflix account.
I gave up at the payment screen during account creation. Netflix must be high on more than just prices.
I couldn’t even get by 2 episodes before I gave up on it.
Same, why do people like watching shows where you hate everyone? There’s no one to sympathize with!
You sympathize with aspects of each character and synpathize with different struggles.
Everyone has done something wrong in real life, and I like seeing that represented in a show.
Jesse is the good guy of Breaking Bad, imo. Dude’s worst crimes are being addicted to meth and listening to Walt’s advice. Hard to feel hate toward a pawn.
I do not accept this. The first 3 seasons were incredible. The 4th season dragged.
Season 3 was when I really got into the show. The problem wasn’t that the first two seasons were slow, they were just really dour. Especially the first season.
I lost it during third. There literally were episodes where absolutely nothing was happening to proceed the plot. Just the usual characters doing their usual things.
I like to rip on it but it still had character development
