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.
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 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.
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
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”.
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.
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

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.

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.

Season 4 is the best one in my opinion.
Edit: Overall, Better Call Saul is much better than Breaking Bad.

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.
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 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
