Anybody watch this? It's huge in America but most of the people I speech to over here aren't that into it.
If you aren't familiar with it, this is taken from IMDb..
"Informed he has terminal cancer, an underachieving chemistry genius turned high school teacher uses his expertise to secretly provide for his family by producing the world's highest quality crystal meth."
To those Game Of Thrones fans out there, both are rated 9.4


I was very sceptical when I first watched it as I thought the story sounded like something I wouldn't be into and it'd turn out to be one of those shows people rave about but then you watch it and its actually a load of crap. So I watched the first few episodes about a month or two ago and got totally hooked. You can't really put your finger on what it is that makes you keep watching, the cliffhangers just make you throw all plans out the window and stick the next episode straight on. 5 series' later and I'm up to date.
So I say again, Anybody else watch this? If so what you think :)

I've found it (What an irritating website though, why is there no 'search' bar wtf?!) but I don't trust this 'free' trial. Don't want to end up paying every month...

Perhaps the search option is for paid members only? Can't remember whether search was available on my 1 month trial, but it definitely is once paid up.

Tbh I think Netflix and all the others are shite bar the odd film/series. We only have if for the little un's.

I signed up to the free trial, and the search bar appeared lol. Watched a few episodes it's sick!

Yeh I thought the same, there is the odd episode that's a bit slow where not a lot happens but that means the next episode should be twice as good!!

I have to agree to disagree there. Series 1&2 of the walking dead were brilliant, series 3 was a slight let down IMO.
See how it pans out in season 4 though.

Breaking bad is brilliant all the way through, but it doesn't have any zombies in....

Breaking Bad > Walking Dead

I've watched both right through to the latest episode and BB is hands down better. Suppose it hasn't won a bucket of awards for nothing.

Walking dead is also seriously immense though!

Id agree completely, loved the first 2 series's and the 3rd one kinda seemed like they ran outa ideas so just started killing random people off. Seemed like it was all building up to series 4 tbh. If you like Walking Dead btw, try Spartacus, its awesome! Bit low budget for series 1 but still awesome brain off tv.

Back to Breaking Bad, It hooks you on every eppisode, When you find out what the cliffhanger is, I find myself sitting there smiling going..SHIT thats clever.
I too cant wait for 2nd part of this series!

Shit really just hit the fan.. hard!!!!

I can see there bring some future spin offs/continuation of the tale with Jessie possibly.

They already have confirmed a spin-off following the lawyer saul, I personally think they should do a spin-off based on Mike ermantracht (sp)

Can't see how saul would work. Out of all characters just seems boring. Mike would be a good choice

Half way through season 3, was a slow burner to start with but I'm well into it now. Might get some hate but I wouldn't say it was as good as Game of Thrones or 24 in its hay day but my opinion might change as I watch more.

Gandi699

^^ Hard to achieve a direct comparison between those three but for sheer enjoyment I'd agree. That said its a very close call

I've heard nothing but good things, on here, the tv and radio. I'm watching it at work so I should be well into season four by the time I finish in the morning.

Glad I got the uncensored, my mate was saying it makes it more gritty than the TV version.

I'm not comparing the different series, I just go off enjoyment factor. So far all good!!

What?! Saul is hilarious. One of the best characters for sure.

Plus Mike is dead mate.

Saul is awesome, but it's a prequel as appose to a sequel so chances are dead characters may make the odd appearance down the line.

I can't be the only one who thought the ending wasn't great, the series was good tho just felt the last episode was far to flat for a final one.

alright sweetheart don't get your vagina in a twist. jesus. condescending much....

Saul is that shit, they're a making a spin-off series about him.

EDIT: A breaking bad thread is likely to contain spoilers, I thought that would be a given? Or could your brain not work that out lololol now don't get funny again because I don't agree with you, I'm only having a laugh...

the "slowness" is usually down to money, like the walking dead when there's no zombies, and the breaking bad fly episode.

you'd expect them to up the acting when the budget is low, but the walking dead would be fucked if they had to do that, I've not seen anything that wooden since I blew pinocchio, kneeling in sawdust, in some woods, as he was holding some planks, etc
