I really like the show so far. Anyone else?

Big Mac · Feb 25, 2008, 07:03 AM

No one? I guess it's not on the MacNN radar yet.

Doofy · Feb 25, 2008, 07:12 AM

What the Billary are you talking about?

Dakar the Fourth · Feb 25, 2008, 07:18 AM

I've caught one or two episodes. I think I'd get more out of it if I knew what the basic plot was.

So far, all I've seen is a lot of arguments.

mutelight · Feb 25, 2008, 07:35 AM

I watched the pilot episode and enjoyed it. I will have to check out some of the rest of them.

You should start with the pilot. It's basically been one long movie so far, so you really should watch the episodes in order.

Dakar the Fourth · Feb 25, 2008, 07:40 AM

Sound advice, however I'd probably have to download it at this point. It looks entertaining, but it's not what I'd consider appointment television.

Started good, went rapidly downhill.

Really, sorry to hear that. I have only seen the first two episodes so far.

The basic idea is that he's a counterfeiter?

Dakar the Fourth · Feb 25, 2008, 09:11 AM

I think a terminal disease is involved if I interpreted the one scene correctly.

Big Mac · Feb 25, 2008, 09:20 AM

Watch the pilot, guys. It's fairly well explained there. Oh and mduell, my brother says he thought the fourth episode's ending was the best ending so far.

Dakar the Fourth · Feb 25, 2008, 09:21 AM

I think I'm just going to hit up wiki's summation.

Edit: well, it was brief, but looks like I was correct.

I'm 75% through the third episode and unmotivated to continue, but I will now.

Rumor · Feb 25, 2008, 04:13 PM

I just watch the pilot last night. I think it has potential.

You can watch them on line for free from AMC.

I really enjoyed the first episode, but the last four have been lacking in substance. They are slow and nothing really happens until the very end. Even then, the climax is not very exciting. I'll still finish the season though.

Full-Auto · Feb 25, 2008, 10:40 PM

I've been watching it via iTunes and I really like it too. Great show. I hope it makes it a couple of seasons. I hate it when I get all wrapped up in a show then they cancel it out of the blue.

Big Mac · Feb 27, 2008, 03:03 AM

I just watched episodes 3 and 4. It is a really great show.

Laminar · Mar 17, 2008, 07:35 PM

I just finished the 7th episode. Great show, but unfortunately I'm relating too closely to the characters so it's nerve-racking every time they get close to getting caught.

awaspaas · Mar 17, 2008, 09:59 PM

As a fellow chemistry teacher the show is definitely intriguing to me.

Dakar the Fourth · Mar 17, 2008, 10:12 PM

As an aspiring meth dealer, the show also strikes a cord with me.
It was there, someone was gonna take it, why not me?

Laminar · Mar 17, 2008, 10:19 PM

As a MILF, I can relate to at least to of the characters.

brassplayersrock² · Mar 17, 2008, 10:27 PM

i thougt you were a dude?

Full-Auto · Mar 17, 2008, 11:06 PM

I know what you dudes are talking about, I'm into MILF's, meth, drugs, illegal activities, the whole scene. It's the bomb. Who wants to make an honest living these days when all you have to do is get some trailer trash to score some cold medicine for ya to cook into meth? It's the easy life.. this show is wrecking it for us meth dealers who care about our product.

RAILhead · Mar 18, 2008, 06:33 AM

Is it about break dancing?

They prefer to be called "smurfs."

AMC - Blogs - Breaking Bad - AMC Renews Breaking Bad for a Second Season

screamingFit · May 12, 2008, 11:32 AM

And here I thought the AMC channel was just old, black and white movies.

Sounds like an interesting show.

Big Mac · May 12, 2008, 11:35 AM

Oh yeah, they have Breaking Bad and Mad Men, the latter of which I have heard a lot of good things about but haven't gotten to really view yet.

Laminar · Apr 2, 2009, 03:09 PM

Is anyone else keeping up with season 2? I'm through episode three so far, and I like it.

Big Mac · Apr 2, 2009, 04:42 PM

Yup, that is a show that knows how to deliver with every episode.

Cold Warrior · Apr 2, 2009, 11:36 PM

Since you guys seem to like it I'll just have to grab the first season or two and see how it goes. I've got an opening now in the rotation now that BSG is gone.

ajprice · Apr 3, 2009, 07:07 AM

I got the first few episodes of S1 on iTunes, really liked it. The DVD is on my 'want to get' list.

Laminar · May 28, 2009, 10:22 PM

Save Walter White

Big Mac · Jun 1, 2009, 01:45 AM

Tonight's episode was a bit of a tease but still very good.

Laminar · Jun 2, 2009, 01:56 PM

Was that the season finale? I haven't watched it yet, but I thought I read there were 13 episodes this season.

Big Mac · Jun 2, 2009, 02:41 PM

Yeah, twas.

Laminar · Jun 2, 2009, 02:47 PM

I'm honestly surprised there's less buzz about this show, the writing, acting, and plot are all fantastic.

Dakar V · Jun 2, 2009, 02:48 PM

I watch it from time to time when there's nothing on, but it has failed to suck me in.

Do you have a soul?

Perhaps. But, like Dakar, it really hasn't appealed to me. There just isn't anything there that hooks me. But, then, I never got the appeal of Lost, either.

Probably not, but that has nothing to do with the show.
