Every season is better than the previous one but midway through 2 it really gets good IMO.

You don't deserve Breaking Bad.

Well for starters, episode 1 should have grabbed you. Season 1 is only 6 episodes I believe so after 2 more episodes you shoudl have a feel for if you'll like it or not.

The show does a very good job of establishing itself. Season 2 does seem to be a liiiiitle slow, but as mentioned above, every season is better than the last. The last 4 episodes of season 4 might be the best stretch run of any show I've ever seen. Season 5 is phenomenal as well, and has one of the best episodes of TV I've ever watched.

I will also say there's a few characters you haven't met yet that are extremely important to the show, and play a massive role. Just keep watching.

I liked it all the way through myself, but it really picks up at the end of season 1/beginning of season 2. Just hang in there its totally worth it.

I pretty much had to force myself to watch the first two seasons, but it was definitely worth it in my opinion. I didn't even have the knowledge that the end was epic at the time.

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.

Ive liked it all the way through so far (middle of season 3 right now) but Id say midway through season 2 it became binge watching where I watched 7 episodes in a row. Im waiting for my GF to catch up now but cant wait for rest of season 3.

I actually told someone this earlier this morning about BB:

It's slow for sure, but I'd stick it out if you can. It's a little overrated (meaning it's not the "omg best show evarrr" like a lot of people say), but it's definitely awesome and worth it. Best thing is that now that it's over u can shotgun episodes and get through it quick. I watched the whole thing in 11 days about a year ago, including 16 episodes in one day.

I started watching because buku people were telling me how great it was. I watched about 4 or 5 episodes and it took me some time to get used to the quirky format. I really thought it was kind of weird/boring. Everyone said to stick with it, so I did and it is one of my top 3 favorite shows of all time. It is an incredible show. The last couple episodes of season 1 got me hooked and it gets way better beyond that.

I watched every episode as it aired. Not sure I could do a marathon viewing to be honest.

I'd say if you don't like it by now, you might not ever like it.

Its one of those shows that is really good but at this point, has been way over hyped so it may be tough to appreciate it.

Not long. It's just setting up. It gets better and better.

I just finished it.

Great great show.

i can tell you on my initial watch through of BB, i slept through the first few episodes repeatedly.

just couldn't get into it.

then, during xmas break last year, just decided to sit down and binge it, and i'm glad i did.

the first season definitely isn't as 'fast' paced as people want it to be...and not every episode of the series is genius, like some will say they are. But the series itself as a whole is pretty remarkable.

Maybe it's not for you. I was hooked from the first episode. I would say give it through the end of Season 1 (3 more episodes) and then watch the first 2 episodes of Season 2 (Seven thirty seven and Grilled) - if you're not hooked by then, move on.
