Oh man, you missed out. The final 4 episodes in particular are outstanding, especially the third from the end (Ozymandias). They wrapped it up really well.
Television Breaking Bad
- Thread starter Burndogg
- Start date
It's always there waiting for me, should I find the motivation to get back to it.
I watched up until he was in the lab with that fly
Never watched another episode, I just lost interest in it.

Yeah watching this again I now fecking HATE Walt. What a cretin
He's a cnut of the highest order.
Just onto season 5 now of the re-watch, and Walt is the biggest pathological liar in the history of TV shows. I actually can't stand him, but what a piece of tv writing that i've literally gotten two different experiences watching the whole thing through twice. Not sure if it was layered that way intentionally but its genius. Some of the opening scenes that appeared so random and weird the first time are brilliant, like the Guy at madrigal tasting the sauces and then killing himself with the AED machine. The episode and the show didn't need it, but they included it and it worked beautifully.
The one thing that sticks out is that Gus was inconsistent with the security measures he would take. He obviously isn't the type of guy to need security with him when in public, but a couple of times he has his goons walk him to his car including from the hospital.

So it turns out, Breaking Bad is ultimately the greatest show ever with a proper ending.

I can’t see that image but how about we don’t talk about GOT in other threads when 90%+ of people won’t have seen the last episode.
So it turns out, Breaking Bad is ultimately the greatest show ever with a proper ending. HBO, D&D and GRRM fecked up big time.
the feck you on about? no you didn't!
Breaking Bad > any other series.
Really great hearing your thoughts on the last GoT episode in this thread @shahzadi , cheers man!
ffs...
ffs...
You want me to proclaim "The Wire" as the greatest. Sorry can't.

The wire
Are you joking or thick?
Could not say it better. Perfect from start to finish.
Fecking hell, just read the interview @Damien posted the link to back in Jan 2018. Very tempted to re-watch BB now. Crazy to think the Fly episode was due to them having already spent their budget and running out of money.
Starting to re-watch BB and just finished season 1. Fascinating the things you notice when knowing what Walt turns into. All the signs were there.
Yes it was a bottle episode. Even '5 days out' was supposed to be one but they overshot the budget on that one.
Rewatching this and it’s the gf’s first time. We just watched Ozymandias. She’s very upset and just poured a glass of wine.
Incredible episode.
Noticed so much more on this rewatch as well, pretty much every scene is there for a reason.
Incredible episode.
I feel like I’m mourning Hank all over again.
I've given up on the wife watching this so I'll have to go it alone. Mad that I haven't rewatched it again yet.
That line from Hank to the effect of “Walt you’re the the smartest guy I know, but you’re too stupid to see he made up his mind to kill me 10 minutes ago” is so great and heartbreaking at the same time. What a way to go out.
When you watch the audition you realise how good gifted an actor Dean Norris is.That line from Hank to the effect of “Walt you’re the the smartest guy I know, but you’re too stupid to see he made up his mind to kill me 10 minutes ago” is so great and heartbreaking at the same time. What a way to go out.
Dean Norris was made for that role. Never realized he went to Harvard.
I don't think I appreciated how good Dean Norris was the first time watching. He plays Hank perfectly.
The new movie on Netflix is fairly shite anyway.
Hadn't watched it yet and was staying out of the thread until I had. Thanks mate...
I mean I didn't spoil anything, what's the problem?
I just go into it now expecting it to be crap. I've avoided everything about it because I like watching things without any expectation.
Majority of reviews from that thread are very good so I just neutralised your opinion. Thank me later.
No problem for lowering your expectations then.
Fixed:
"Hi my name is Hank Schrader and I'm here to audition for the role of Hank Isaac Schrader."
Yeah, Dean Norris is perfect as «Hank».
Isaac «Hank» Schrader!
Well I'd prefer to go into it with no expectations but there you go.
