I started watching Breaking Bad during their AMC full marathon leading up to the finale. I recorded a bunch of episodes and started watching sometime around middle of Season 4 through the end. I was completely hooked, and went back and watched from the beginning, through the end (again).

I wonder, if I had started watching from episode 1, instead of midway season 4, if I would have been as hooked. Maybe not. But having seen the last several episodes first, I was really wanting the back story -- which, in that context, was really great to see. If you miss the second half of season 4 and all of season 5, you are robbing yourself blind and don't even know what you are missing.

My favorite drama series ever. It might be depressing television, but what a ride.

i will repeat.. BB is hands down the best series i have ever watched on tv

Holy shite you weren't kidding! I'm in S5 now and only have 5 episodes left. Jesse just crashed Saul's car into Walt's yard well...you know. Can't wait to get home tonight and watch! I'll more than likely finish it tonight. How I haven't heard any spoilers yet is a freaking mystery to me but I'm glad for it.

I'm usually very good about predicting shows and where they're going. But not this one....

The main reason I quit watching BB


Never made it past halfway through season 2. Loved season 1 but 2 just wore me down. Just didn't feel the same.


Holy shite! Really???

You are missing out!!!

This gator is spot on. And I wouldn't respect a one if I didn't think he was on point.

I watched it 1 episode at a time and haven't watched it again,until yesterday.

I marathoned Season 1 and 2.

It's almost better than I remember it.And that's knowing that the best is to come.
