I saw some of the first season, but am starting from the beginning. Does it jump the shark at some point?
In my opinion, season 1 was very good. Then season 2 was great. Season 3 and 4 were absolutely amazing.. I thought it peaked at the last 4 episodes of season 4. I was worried about season 5 not being able to continue the greatness.. but I though season 5 was awesome too and I think the last 2 episodes of season 5 are some of the best in the entire series.. especially the season finale.

First season and a half was boring, got really good after that. Stick with it

Maybe. But considering all of the other things Walt has done using his scientific knowledge, I think these were on par.

Wow, I had forgotten about the train.

The robbery itself isn't as jumpish as being able to transport the tank to a spot next to a railroad track, digging the pit and installing it with no one but a 2012 version of this guy seeing it,
I have to agree with you. That move was more "Happy Days" than "North by Northwest."

Keep moving along, 1st season isn't memorable IMO, but midway through season 2 is when the ride gets good. By Season 3 you won't know what hit you, fantastic progression and character development.

The pilot was great. First season shows him entering the drug trade and why. It's engrossing.
Pathetic Hunan being admission: The son kinda annoys me by the latest season. Occasionally the wife as well but always the son. Just a pet peeve.
I hated Chloe on 24. One damn scowling look for the entire series. The president wife also bugged me.
Dexter having the baby annoyed me. Wife did as well but... No spoilers.
I'll either tune out or FF past shite I don't like in tv shows.

Irked me to my core. Her stank face was the worst one of all time.

Agree and disagree here. It added an element that the show lacked. Dexter needed a true connection to the real world, something to care about no matter what else happened.
Still annoying though.

And I feel so privileged to be watching BB for the first time. I'll be sure to cherish this as I cherished The Wire.
The Wire is still my favorite of all time though.

And here I thought the phrase "jump the shark" was reserved for the Office.

I just finished catching up on this series today. Awesome show, but I was a little disappointed with Season 5. The last two episodes, especially the cliffhanger were good but overall I didn't enjoy it as much. June can't get here soon enough.

Season 4 is amazing.
I don't understand how someone can get to season 3 and give up on it, but I don't really have room to talk because I watched the first 2 seasons of the Wire and lost interest and have had no desire to watch any more.
