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.
There’s some shows that I’ve seen where the first season is boring, but the seasons after are much better.
My friends kept telling me to hang in there, it gets good, but at that point I gave it up.
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.
I always thought I didn’t like shows with main characters I wasn’t supposed to empathize with, but found I loved The Sopranos and Barry. Not sure what it was with Breaking Bad that didn’t stick.
Season 4 is the best one in my opinion.
Edit: Overall, Better Call Saul is much better than Breaking Bad.
Bruh. Better call saul was so boring. I got bored of Chuck of whatever his name is and the electricity phobia thing. Legal drsma is so borinh.
The Drug Trade is why Breaking Bad was fun and exciting, especially done by an amateur schoolteacher and not some hardened criminal.

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”.
That was my second watch so not a huge deal to me
I had to double take, I read that as ‘second wife’ the first time
those who haven’t watched much
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
Sometimes that’s true. Not all times. But many shows have a weak season 1 but then get amazing. And you can’t really skip it without losing context.
It takes quite a few liberties with the sciency bits and lawyer bits
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
I was expecting them to reply like “what’s cyberpunk?”
“And that’s how I met my FBI officer.”
Ew it touched Instagram, is it contagious?
Yea, you have now been infected with the coperate.
Ya want to keep up to date with local bands, gigs and venues in my city there’s really no alternatives to IG.
I just have a friend who uses it and tells me what shows are coming
Good thing is nowadays it’s being referenced to as CSAM (Child Sexual Abuse Material), due to children are unable to give consent and some weirdos tried to whitewash it by calling the less outrageous stuff “child erotica” or “artistic nudes of children”.🤮
Those names aren’t doing a very good job of whitewashing.
Not to be confused with CRAM
Debated not posting this comment just because the subject itself is so icky:
I am so glad that this is the term now. Some freaks argue that CP where a minor isn’t straight-up r*ped is “victimless” (too young, they didn’t know they were recorded, etc). The new CSAM term is a line in the sand and makes it clear that any material featuring minors created for that purpose is a product of sexual abuse even if they “consent” to it. Legally, they can’t consent and the only way to create the material is to harm innocent children.
Anyway, I’m going to go find brain bleach like videos of a kitten and a giant dog being best friends or something now…
Or loli
But I would think CP is more well known than CSAM
Good god I hope that tweet’s fake cause if not, that person obviously doesn’t proofread stuff lol. also Breaking Bad is one of the best shows ever and you should give it a watch
If I like the Anime version of it enough, I’ll actually try Bb. I honestly never gave it a fair shot because of how controversial it was.
If you have a 1% error rate in tweets, even if you proofread that’s still a .01% chance to make a mistake. With the volume of tweets it shouldn’t surprise you that some people make mistakes even if they proofread.
Proofreading wouldnt really help this would it? Cp wasnt a typo, they intentionally typed it thinking … well iunno what they were thinking but likely along the lines of " good abbreviation for cyperpunk, really saved some time huh".
Depends on how you’re defining proof reading I suppose, but I agree, I don’t necessarily think it would. But maybe seeing it a second time might jog a memory. Who knows.
Breaking Bad had too much family drama and slow pacing for my taste
Imo, it being slow and very much deep diving into characters is what makes it phenomenal instead of just a shallow action flick.
It’s also a rather litmus test for maturity imo.
I first watched it during University years, and I was very much of the camp that was doing the vicariously living through the power fantasy of Walt’s rise to power and the bitch wife and crying jessie ruining it for him.
I recently, like a year ago as a 31+ year old rewatched it again, and jesus christ what a top to bottom egoistic selfish asshole Walt is, all I did is feel sorry for Skyler and Jessie.

I think knowing where it’s going makes a big difference. Like, first time in going in blind Walt is a sympathetic for the first bit, and for most of the story is dealing with the unintended consequences of raising funds for his treatment. Knowing where it’s going it’s a lot easier to see him in a lot worse light earlier in the story.
Well yeah, that might be a factor, also that on a a second watch you can start picking up on things better, because it’s much clearer from the get go that while his very initial intention to not leave his family behind poor, it really quickly becomes about his ego.
Nah man, Walt makes some egregiously selfish and egotistical calls even in season 1. For an obvious one, he turns down his old friend’s money, money they say is effectively Walt’s, just so he can rub his own ego even more. Then he goes on to use them as an excuse for where the money is coming from.
He robs his own school of supplies, too. There are many, many many selfish piece of shit things Walt does. From the start.
He also starts off being a judgemental piece of shit to Jessie even while he’s trying to use him to do the same shit he’s judging Jessie for.
Walt is purely a piece of shit that kind of sort of starts to redeem himself after he already created the whole mess to begin with.
It’s the adult Tom&Jerry.
Memes are not stolen. Theyre shared.
Is that tweet f a k e ?
I can only imagine the replies & reporting if it’s somehow real
Maybe that specific tweet was fake (or bait), but I do remember it from back then. There was a whole slew of easily misinterpreted posts on all social media around the release of the cyberpunk game and then again around the release of the anime.
When was cyberpunk controversial?
It had a buggy launch. Then they fixed it. And they’ve kept fixing it. Making it better all the time. Now there’s a very small yet exceptionally loud contingent of annoying internet shitheads who make their entire personality shitting on Cyberpunk forever.
They had a bug once and now they refuse to play the complete, and exceptionally well polished game. But they’re very very loud about how shit the game still is even though they haven’t played more than 2 hours of it since launch.
If you mean the game it still is because the developers lied to people to sell more while making an image they are the complete opposite.
If you mean the meme it’s probably because Cyberpunk abbreviation is the same as child porn.
at launch, it was really buggy. people in Lemmy tend to hold one hell of a grudge for some reason
Ahhhhh that
I remember now thanks
About the grudge, yeah that’s a gamer thing
That’s two Breaking Bad memes I’ve seen pop up in as many days, and I hadn’t seen any in years. Just started a rewatch the other week.
Hey, don’t knock cyberpunk till you try it.

Yes BB is good
How do we know this isn’t about someone watching eromanga sensai?
