Just, wow.

Why did I wait so long? What was I even doing with my life? I know, I'm late to the party but I still had a blast. I just, just absolutely loved it. Outstanding performance from Aaron Paul and Bryan Cranston. I'll be missing Jesse Pinkman and Walter White for quite a while... sigh. This show is just overwhelming; the pace was excellent, and it's just brilliantly executed. Undeniably one of the best show I have ever seen, and I'm not even saying that lightly. So sad that it's over. I can't even put my thoughts about this show into words in fear that I will mess up. Terribly.

If you haven't seen this yet, do yourself a favor and go. NOW.

Curious about what others think about it. Thoughts? :)

And before I go... YEAH B*TCH!

To me "Granite State" would have been a better ending.

I watched about 14 episodes, it was okay, but it just didn't grip me.

Best show IMO on TV I have EVER seen in my 53 years! Kudos for watching it. Its a shame some people only give it one episode or even just 2 seasons. For the most part the seasons get better and better than the previous. Seasons 3, 4, and 5 were tremendous.

Remember, BB fans, "Better Call Saul" is coming early next year with the same group of writers (including directing by Cranston)

Can't wait!

im actually glad i took so long to start watching it. got to marathon first 4 seasons on Netflix without having to wait a week per episode. then waiting for the mid season break that AMC does.

had to wait for season 5 though.

i usually dont start watching shows from the start, unless i really want to watch the show. i usually just wait til they have a few seasons and are on Netflix. so i can marathon em. i hate waiting.

It was a good show but the first two seasons were much better than the rest. Gus and Mike were good characters but other than that the later seasons weren't very interesting.

I guess we will have to disagree on this, I think seasons 3 - 5 were definitely the best part of the series. The last 2 episodes of season 3 ("Half-Measures" and "Full Measure") are my very favorite episodes. Intense!

I started watching the day the first episode aired. I was listening to a local radio show in the morning and they were interviewing Brian Cranston about his upcoming show. He talked about how his character was a school teacher that starts cooking meth. I thought wow Hal from Malcom in the middle cooking meth sounds interesting.

The wait between seasons was killer. After the first season they weren't sure if the show was going to continue. Breaking bad is probably better then any movie I've ever seen.

Yea it's an amazing series.

Casting is spot on, whoever was responsible made the show. It wouldn't be half as entertaining if it weren't for the complete lack of chemistry between Walt and Jesee. They perfectly complimented each other's strengths and weaknesses and were always hilarious to watch feed off one another.

"Yea, Mr. White! Science!!"

Writing was phenomenal, pacing was decent, dialogue was great, characters were well developed and interesting (Gus was an absolute pleasure to watch every second he was on screen), direction was excellent, it had great music and scene segweys/montages, its use of color (Marie and purple) and symbolism was interesting, its utilization of science really broadened its appeal, etc etc etc...

Just mostly everything about it was very well executed, and for once it was a TV show that I never felt like it built up to a payoff that wasn't worth seeing.

Made it to season 2...and lost interest shortly after. The whole concept of the show was just ridiculous to me. Not a fan.

Hating things that are popular and well liked make you a special and cool dude, or so they say.

Nihilism in general equals massive intelligence. Yep.

Well said, I think it is the rare show that executes everything to a very high degree. This is the kind of Masterpiece TV show you get when everything works together.....great acting, writing, editing, sound, camerawork, etc.

All kinds of good touches to the show....I like how 4 titles of episodes in Season 2 spell out "737 Down Over ABQ " when you push together the titles of the 4 episodes that begin with debris in the pool.
