If you have ever played a Lego video game (or got kids that have) then Google for the Lego breaking bad game parody on YouTube.
Also, if if you're ever bored online, 'clicking bad' is a pretty funny browser game (at least for a while!)
I agree, I finished it just three weeks ago.. I knew of it on release years ago but never paid much attention.
The hype built of course, so I relented via my Netflix subscription. Wow, what a good show.. Despite them trying to confuse me with the 'final season' box set which I was on the verge of buying until I realised it was just the last season's second part which I'd already seen! Charlatans.
How is the Breaking Bad thread so small? Best show ever.
I am the one who knocks.
best scene though:

Each to his own - I switched off half way through season 1.
Yes, everyone kept banging on about it, but it bored me to tears.
I couldn't get into it when it first aired, wife bought me the first 3 seasons though late last year and sat down watched them and really enjoyed them. Watched the 2 final seasons on Netflix, must admit last 2 seasons were a bit of a slog to get through, pretty long winded and very slow. I think it started like this when all the stuff started happening with Gus, then his brother in law going after Mexican Cartels and his crusade to find Heisenberg, seemed to taper off.
Mind you the final few episodes were really good, Walt disappearing to Alaska then deciding to go back and try and set things right, rescuing Jesse and the final scene you don't actually know if he is dead or not as the police surround him. Think they done that on purpose so if they wanted to bring Walt back they could, not forgetting Jesse, they could maybe do a few special episodes with just him.
Meh. Got bored with it. All that false jeopardy.
True Detectives was much better.
I presume we will see Jesse somewhere along the line: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Better_Call_SaulQuote:

I enjoyed it. A bit drawn out but that added to the hopelessness of the situation.
With all the cartel stuff that goes on in Sons Of Anarchy, I think I'd be bored to tears by yet another tale of drug dealing and drama... It's up there with mafia, vampires, werewolves and zombies, for me.
I got on OK with Game Of Thrones, but people kept spoiling that one for me as well!
I certainly enjoyed Breaking Bad. It's not one of the greatest TV shows ever made or anything like that, but it was good entertainment while it lasted. Not sure about the Saul spin-off though. As good a character as he was, I don't think exploring him further was necessary at all.
I can't wait for the better call saul show
You'll be able to stream it using Amazon or iTunes. I used Amazon for last season because I started watching half way through season 4. I think it's $2.99 for SD and $3.99 for HD. Worth every penny for BB!!!!
When I first heard of Breaking Bad it sounded pretty lame to me. After I watched the first episode I couldn`t get enough and now I can say this is the best TV Series that have ever been made! By the way, this provider works great for streaming if you are outsite the US.
Fox really mucked up at the start - disappeared it from their history - loads of people thought that my recommendation in 2008 was flaky.
Watched most of it on my long, long outstanding PJ project - have to say that sound is probably as important as visual - enjoy!
I found the first episode to be quite slow and 'heavy' if that makes sense?Quote:

I watched the first 4 episodes aroudn 3 months ago and haven't watched it since. Really didn't grip me. Everyone says yeah but it takes time to get going. GOT got me hooked after the first episode.
I've watched quite a lot of it and I can't say that I ever fell in love with the show, I guess I just don't see what everyone else does.Quote:

Also a great show though.
It's perhaps the most well written, well made and well acted show I have ever seen. It's in my top three easy.
Also the best thing to come out of the show is all that blue meth candy being sold online. Very cute.
Have seen series one now and it's THE BOMB :)
it's bloody superb....I'm immensely glad to have seen it... it's gold
I loved it. The ending was good. But I would of liked to of seen a different ending also...I won't say what in case I spoil things for others :-p
Amazing series, not a single bad episode in 5 seasons, quite the achievement!
Loved this show so much. The writing, the acting, the colours and the sound, music all excellent.
I think my favourite episode was "Fly". Amazing watching the two actors take the majority of the episode and totally control it.
great show :)
Walter White! Sorta....
:D

Which reminded me to go do some Googling, and it lookes like Saul is about to be back on the air defending the, erm, innocent?

Have to agree this is one of the greatest TV shows ever made!
I didn't start watching BB till November last year but was hooked straight away. Couldn't stop watching it! Honestly if you haven't watched it give it a chance. Hype is completely true!
I really struggled to get into this show. Eventually I gave up in season 2.
I may have another go as everyone I know says it gets better after season 3
Currently hooked on House of Cards - Amazing!!
I've watched the entire thing twice now, once live on TV, and the other with my girlfriend when she learned what it was about after raising her nose at it.
^ I'm going to make mine watch it to...:D
Halfway through S3 and still not impressed.
It's very well acted, but I just don't find myself desperately engaged with the characters, or anything.
I usually get well into films and shows, suspending my disbelief to the point where I don't guess the plot and get happily surprised by all the twists (unless I overhear some git at work spoiling the plot of, say, Game Of Thrones).
But with BB, I can see most things coming, sometimes even several episodes ahead...
I found it to be too much of a roller-coaster ride. Ups and downs, scary bits and boring bits.
Still have the last 2 seasons to watch and have had them sat there to watch for quite some time, I am starting to doubt that I will finish it, especially when I'll watch things like Forever and Masterchef before turning to BB episodes!
Bit of a shame as IMO it had the best opener of any series I have ever watched. I have also found BCS to be more of the same and have episodes of that backing up as well now.
Also hasn't helped that Aaron Paul has been popping up in other stuff and looking completely out of his depth.
Forgot all about this...
I got bored of seeing where everything was going a half-season in advance and stopped watching.
Sorry.
It is very enjoyable.
I would also recommend:
The Unit
24
Gotham
Prison Break
Just to name a few
Up there in my top 3 with The Sopranos and Game of Thrones. Stirling stuff.
I'm ashamed to say that I could never get into this series. It's just one of life's many mysteries.
Anyone see this family guy?

Just saying...
Nice find! I remember that. It's all I heard about in work for awhile. "Did you see the last episode of breaking bad!?" blah blah
season 1 was hard to watch, I stopped watching about 5 times.
Season 2 took off though and it grew and grew from there.
The only 2 shows that i thought were better (except the final seasons) were Lost and Prison break.
Lost? Lost? Get lost! It was rubbish. Ditched in start of series 2 when I realised nothing would ever actually happen. My flatmates kept watching it, and long story short, nothing actually happens. DULLLQuote:

I've watched the entire show twice, once up to S4, then again before S5 released as I was super hyped. The directing and cinematography is truly unparalleled.
I started watching it, got up to series 2 and never got round to continue watching it.
Started watching breaking bad but stoped on season 3 :-) its great and ill continue when have more time
Breaking Bad is a great example of showrunners ending a show when the time is right. With how popular it was towards the end they could have turned it into a 10 season show and ran it into the ground, but now it'll be remembered as one of the greatest pieces of TV ever made.
Breaking Bad is one of the best shows ever! Amazing story telling with slap in your face plot twists! If you have not seen it yet..... what are you waiting for get on the case! lol
Yep, a show which actually improved the longer it went on. Very unusual.
I really liked the show. But i also think that they ended a good Point because otherwise the new season would have been nonsens like so many shows out there
As for me Breaking Bad is the best TV show. Now watching Better call Saul!
Is Better call Saul worth Watching? Read many good reviews but :crazy:
is the best serial ever!!! do you like narcos guy?
I loved Breaking Bad but couldn't get into Better Call Saul. :/Quote:

Imho it's a bit slower, but the first seasons of Breaking Bad were slow too. Again - everything is becoming more interesting when the old caracters appearQuote:

I have not yet watched. Breaking Bad is one of the TV shows on my list that I'm going to watch. It is not unpleasant for Zakrnchio to watch another cult TV series - Scrubs. I was amazed and now decided to watch the main popular TV shows.
do not know what is good there, as the tv series are very viŃious
Breaking Bad is still my favourite TV show and I have watched it the entire way through at least 3 times. I can't actually remember much about Better Call Saul but I don't think it was too bad. Even though i didn't like the last seaon of Breaking Bad much, it was a LOT better than the last of GOT.
