Obsessed with Breaking Bad

Original post by JackStockham

I think I'm obsessed with Breaking Bad...

I've watched the series through every year since 2013, which is when I first viewed it, and am currently on my 5th watch through.

Has anyone else got an obsession with this amazing TV show? or any other show for that matter?

Not surprised. I’ve also watched Breaking Bad quite a lot of times.

Better Call Saul is overrated imo. You just hear how really good it is but it isn’t all that exciting.

I haven't yet, I'm planning to watch it after my current binge. Never see House of Cards, any good?

Yes

Yeah, it's great, Spacey is good in it. Although he is a terrible person...

It is an exceptionally good television show; the paradigmatic "prestige drama" of the post-Sopranos years. It's magnificent, although the final season wasn't as good.

But instead of watching this show over and over again, why don't you watch some of the other "Golden Age of Television"-type TV shows? Here are but a few which are just as addictive and bingeable;

*The Americans
*The Expanse
*Rick & Morty
*Westworld
*The Wire
*The Sopranos
*Bojack Horseman
*Mr Robot
*I, Claudius (not a recent show, but excellent still)
*Rome

Go on, start watching them. You can thank me later :smile:

As someone who absolutely loved Breaking Bad (and also loves slow, literary TV shows), I'd say Better Call Saul sucks balls. It's just not a very good TV show. Almost nothing happens in it. It takes three seasons to tell a story that could have been done in one.

There are far better "Golden Age of Television" shows. The list I wrote above is a good start

I agree. They’re supposed to show their lives before Breaking Bad even happened. If it’s that dull, why even make Better Call Saul. Nothing exciting about it, haven’t even seen one episode that I really liked.

The thing is, I think it could be quite interesting to see him as Saul Goodman, to see all the hijinks he gets up to. His total lack of professional ethics is almost like his "super powers", we could watch him getting his clients off with very devious means.

Instead it's just been one boring episode after another, with pretty much nothing happening.

I'm not going to watch season 4 when released

I've seen Breaking Bad about three times I think. I'm far worse with BoJack Horseman. The fourth season only came out last September and I've already seen most episodes at least three times, and I must have seen everything in the first three seasons five+ times.

Yeah, I get what you mean. You would have thought that his life as a corrupt lawyer would’ve been more exciting.

It's the best show ever.

I've only watched it through once because I wanted to wait a few years, So I can forget a lot of it and experience it again.

It isn't his life as a corrupt lawyer. It is his development into a corrupt lawyer.
