Breaking Bad

But could Walt beat Tony in a fistfight? I think not, gg BBbabs.

BB has better cinematography, I have to admit.

Sopranos has superior acting. The season four finale, “Whitecaps”, is simply sublime and disturbingly good.

You're in for one Hell of a ride.

Second greatest TV show of all time, after the Sopranos.

We're a few episodes into Season 2 at the moment and yeah, it's hard to find a flaw. My only complaint is some unnecesary shaky cam, but that was the trend at the time, I guess. But yeah, the show is amazing so far. It's tense as fu#k.

The Sapranos is another classic I feel I need to catch up on. I've never seen it. I'm just not sure how I'll get it. Hm..

Well into S2 now/again. I forgot what an annoying character Walt Junior is.

Yeah he's such a retard.

Now at the part where I'm really starting to outright loathe Skylar. FFS, Walt's no hero but I feel for the guy.

THIS IS BULLSHIT

Skylar deserves a running kick to the tw@t.

Bunch of misogynists here.

I think breaking bad was of it's time, I tried watching it again recently and it felt dated. Not Wire dated, dated. The ambiguous bad men do bad things as people fluctuate between being bad and redemption seems a bygone trope a few years on.

^ Hm.. to me the only thing that's a little dated is the intro credits and shaky cam. And of course cell phones. But other than that it's pretty timeless so far.

My wife and I are into season 3 now. This show is so f$cking good. I know my wife is enjoying it because she doesn't play with her phone during it and she's even begged to watch it a couple times.. haha. I always know if she doesn't like a show or movie because she pulls out her phone and only partially pays attention.

I feel like a bad person watching this show because I'm always cheering for him to cook more meth.. haha. But it's just because it makes for compelling drama! 😂

Omg.. the ATM scene. Classic shit. 😂

I don't mind dated things, I grew up in the 80's when everything was a repeat from the 70's so I'm sort of wired for it, I regularly go back and watch things like Old Trek or Kolchak. One show that makes me cringe now with its datedness is Buffy, more in terms of the dialogue than anything else, which is funny because the dialogue used to get critical appraise but it hasn't stood the test of time for me.

you're spoiled on all major events on the rewatch, so it takes away the suspense in a suspense-driven story.

with that said, I think better call saul is far superior in terms of rewatchability

That is very true, knowing all the twists takes away the thrills. I'm not going to finish my second viewing.

I can see that. Yeah, I'm not sure it's something I'd want to watch all the way through again, but it sure is good so far.

I'm looking forward to that show, too, cause Bob Odenkirk is funny. I knew him from Mr. Show with David Cross.

Perhaps, though while good it's still nowhere near the level of Breaking Bad.

I like Bob Odenkirk, but he's actually almost a little too cartoony for the show. So I'll be curious to see his own show after Breaking Bad.

We just finished the episode in Season 3 where the RV gets compacted. Holy shit that was a good episode! 😂

Oh shit, and now the two assassin brothers attacked Schrader yet he still managed to survive with multiple bullet wounds because they got greedy with the axe.

Another amazing episode!
