Maybe it has been over hyped.

All I ever saw on this board was awesome, amazing, GOAT. Maybe that is why I am feeling underwhelmed.

Hang in there, man. It's one of those shows where every episode is better than the one before it. It took me a while to get hooked, too, but I consider it my favorite show of all-time now.

Yeah that is exactly what I'm saying. It started with "hey this is a great show, check it out, Malcolm in the middles dad (or dr Whatley) is serious, and is pretty good"...to "best show on TV, Cranston is at his best"... Now, " best fricking television show of all time, can't even comprehend how ingenious it is, Cranston best actor alive !"

Try and forget what you have read, and just try and enjoy it for what it is, because its a great show. However, I think its reputation precedes itself.

True with most great shows. The only ones I wasn't underwhelmed with were The Wire and The Sopranos.

I have to say that if you like 1 hour dramas, there are few in the same league - having said that, it is a process. It doesn't hit you up front like The Sopranos or The Shield, it is more of a slow burner like The Wire. It is better than Mad Men, for sure, and probably in the same conversation with Sopranos/Wire/Shield, if you're into that sort of thing.

I would just forget the praise and accept that many, many folks enjoyed the entire run, and, I would agree that it gets better and better - not perfect (nothing is) - but the effort to craft the characters and story are all A+. The results will vary from viewer to viewer.
