Breaking Bad

is anyone else watching this? the wife and i just started watching last week when the first 3 seasons went up on netflix instant. were almost done with season 2. its almost disgusting how bleeping good this show is.

i have to give kudos to the writers for the walt jr character. its incredibly refreshing to see a character who is handicapped and not a handicapped character. theres a distinction there. most times in tv shows characters with disabilities are either an object of pity or portrayed as being morally superior to everyone else. walt jr is just a normal kid and it honestly opened my eyes to the fact that disabled people aren't different than anyone else. i was honestly ignorant and the show helped me see a reality i don't see very often.

the whole show is just awesome and totally compelling. its a shame that the 5th season will be the last but its nice to know that the writers have a definite plan instead of drifting aimlessly.

I too just started watching this on Netflix. I'm a few episodes into season three and can't stop watching. The thing about it ending in season 5 makes sense, he does have lung cancer after all. Unless he can somehow beat it but I think that is a rarity.

very much so.

its basically about a chemistry teacher diagnosed with terminal cancer who decides to cook/sell .... in order to make sure his family is taken care of financially after he dies.

it sounds like an odd premise and theres a lot more to it but what it boils down to is a normal man doing things he never dreamed of for his family and watching him completely evolve as a character. it asks the question of me personally, how far would i go?

its incredibly well written, the characters truly feel alive, its intense as all get out and its simply a very addictive show. the 1st episode or 2 is a tad slow but it ramps up VERY quickly. its one of those shows where you look at the clock and think "ok, just oooonnnee more episode before i go to bed".

My husband and I just started watching Breaking Bad a few months ago. We marathoned the first 3 seasons so we were all caught up before season 4 started. OMG SO GOOD. This show is amazing. It's been agony watching the current season live and having to wait a week in between episodes!

By the way, xg4bx, I see you've got a pic of Karen Gillan as your avatar. Doctor Who is another of my favorite shows!

unfortunately we had to skip our viewing last night. the episode we ended on the other day (i'll dance around it to avoid spoilers) was the season 3 episode with hank in the parking lot at the end. if you've seen it then you know what i'm talking about. easily the most intense thing i've ever seen on tv.
