Look there are two kinds of people with breaking bad.
Those who loved it, and those who haven't watched much or any of it.
My ex got me into it, and she's kind of.... Well, shes not brilliant. So I didn't take her recommendations too seriously most of the time (I really don't enjoy Teen Mom or 90 day fiance or 600lb life). But this? This show hooked me. It takes quite a few liberties with the sciency bits and lawyer bits, but it's fun even with a bit of knowledge cause it starts with something being "technically correct." It's well written more than anything.
I finished up to season 4, wondering when it was supposed to get good. I know there's a lot of hype around it, but I guess it just wasn't for me.
You gave it a generous amount of your time. I'd say if you don't like it in the first few episodes it might not be for you. I was hooked almost immediately.
I made it like 3 episides of season 1 before I threw in the towel lol
I got to the bathtub scene, said "wow that's amazing television" and stopped watching. I get it, he sucks and he's going to get worse.
Season 4 is the best one in my opinion.
Edit: Overall, Better Call Saul is much better than Breaking Bad.

I mean... I think I know what you're trying to say, but this seems to imply that you think someone who doesn't like a show should just carry on watching it anyway
And then there’s my wife, who hated Walter so much midway through she couldn’t watch it anymore.
That was my second watch so not a huge deal to me, but damn she could not stand him.
I've never managed to watch the whole series. There's great bits but I get super uncomfortable with Walters bumbling, flagrant dishonesty with his wife and family. I get the same thing with a few different shows and I just don't enjoy it. To the point where I find myself just switching the TV off mid way through a scene and going to do something else without even really thinking about it.
If I had to describe the sensation it would be "extreme toe-curling cringe".
I have the same problem with stuff. Can you, um.. anti-suggest?
Like suggest things I should avoid that hit those same tropes that made bb unwatchable for me..?
My personal anti-suggestion is always the office. Too much cringe. I'll watch compilations of Jim pranking Dwight on YouTube, but I can't watch the show as a whole because of Michael.
I had to double take, I read that as 'second wife' the first time
Do you have the same opinion with Better Call Saul?
I watched all of it and I found it boring and frustrating 99% of the time..
I started watching breaking bad but got bored of it and dropped it
It's not healthy to force yourself to watch a TV show if you get bored of it even if it's popular
i watched it all and it was so shit i lost faith in humanity because of how popular it was
That says more about you than you'd ever care to admit.
lol yeah it says i don't like subplots that go fucking nowhere and are immediately dropped like they never happened. or that i like satisfying endings to story arcs. or that I prefer things to have meaning rather than happen randomly for no reason. or that I think you should take less than 5 seasons to tell a story that's at best one season's worth. care to admit? lmao like it has some moral value. it's just a bland ass series with mediocre and inconsistent writing carried by amazing actors.
You must have an incredibly bad attention span, or have negative media literacy if you think most of that applies to Breaking Bad.
do you even understand the words you're saying? I'm telling you they're fumbling story arcs over multiple episodes and you think that means I have bad attention span? do you know what any of that means?
the writers had bad attention span, not me. they kept forgetting and abandoning their own shit all the time. seems like you were too busy getting distracted by shit to realize that.
same with media literacy. I'm saying they kept adding random shit without any meaning or purpose and you say that's bad media literacy.
so enlighten us mr media literacy man, what was the point of the stupid fucking twins
You can declare what ever you want. It doesn't make you correct.
classic. another breaking bad fan swearing up and down that i don't get it but can't answer a question.
what was the point of the kleptomania, mr media literacy man
Idk man, as a science communicator, I watched it and thought it sucked. I know enough about any science field to explain to laypeople, but not enough to properly engage experts usually. I try, but my specialty is breadth, not depth.
It’s not a bad show per se, but it’s a bad show, imho, as far as normal human motivations are concerned. Who gets their shit handled and still risks their whole family's shit? Like maybe it’s just me but that’s stupid and hard to believe.
Honestly from the point where
::: spoiler spoiler Walter was offered to have his entire treatment paid for and turned it down in favour of selling drugs... :::
...he lost all my sympathy. I was increasingly curious about how things were going to go wrong for him. More fascinating train wreck, less investment in him personally.
Yeah, that shit.
That’s exactly it, and where I stopped because omfg who does that..???
Nobody with normal human motivations, that’s who.
I don't think we were supposed to sympathize with him at that point.
Wow, I thought we left 'I am too smart for things everyone likes' in 2015
Wow if that’s what you took from that.. that says a lot about you..
Sorry I don’t like your pet fantasy..?
That I can read?
More that you can’t, but hey, sure! Whatever makes you happy!
