re: How far in before Breaking Bad gets really good ?

I didn't like the first couple of episodes when I watched them when the show first started coming out. I thought it was just weird. I then ignored it for several years despite my good friend telling me how incredible it is.

I was wrong. He was right. It really starts kicking off midway through the second season and into the third season. Then it just gets better and better until the best climax and conclusion in television history. They just wrapped it all together into one cohesive package perfectly imo. Looking back now, the first season really wasn't that bad. I just wasn't ready for it.
