Yes.  One day I will watch it all again.  Don’t lose faith when you get to the fly episode

Yes. Most definitely.

Yep, definitely worth the commitment, I’m currently watching it for the second time and it’s great but I still think better call saul is way more entertaining.

There, saved you all the time you would’ve lost staring at the telly, go and do something more interesting instead. Your welcome.

<mod edit for spoilers>

Having just got up to date with Better Call Saul i started rewatching Breaking Bad last night.

I think it’s worth it

Massive slump after s1 e1…so skip it all after that and go straight to last episode. I tried to watch first series and it was properly dull, so left gf to watch it all. I then watched the last episode of last series and pretty much worked it all out…

It does start slowly but if you can get through a couple of episodes then you should be hooked. At least that’s how it was for me. I never experienced any slump and loved it all (notwithstanding the fly episode).

It’s brilliant, but it’s a slow burn.  It took me several episodes to click with it.

And guys, no spoilers please, that’s not nice.

Haha, hardly a spoiler, more a plot outline. Is there anyone who doesn’t know the plot?

I didn’t get past mid point of season 1…. me and the wife tried it and binned it.

Best thing I have watched so a yes from me.  The fact that I was still on his side right till the end just because I felt for him at the start was an odd experience.

Yes. It’s not thrill-a-minute stuff, but very few of the characters are two-dimensional, and it’s an absorbing series.

And I liked the fly episode.

Watch it…

…it will really make you appreciate the ‘socialised’ health care system that is the NHS.

I got to season 4 and gave up but it’s supposed to be awesome, I just lost interest

Yeah I hate commitment too ha ha, tbh it’s not too hard to pick up and put down.

’The Wire’ is better IMHO.

BB is good, I don’t think it deserves to sit beside the HBO Giants, but it’s not far off, it does descend into Soap Opera at times though, padding to make a few more episodes without burning through the core story, just tell yourself it’s high-art and you’d appreciate it a bit more if only you were a bit more cultured and intelligent, and then tell everyone how great it is so they think you are, seems to be it’s USP 😉

Better Call Saul is just getting good, sadly it take 3 whole series of more arty set pieces and vague hints that might or might not be Easter Eggs to get into its stride… maybe.

Watch it…

Yes. This is our future if the govt flogs of the NHS to its donors.

Get a serious illness, and once you’re milked dry, die horribly and leave your family in poverty.

It’s well worth watching anyway.

I watched it and enjoyed it but it’s not as good as some of the claims made for it.  I’d definitely not put in the time to rewatch it, whereas I’ve already watched The Wire twice, and considering a third.

Mad Men, Sopranos, The Wire, Game of Thrones

Halt & Catch Fire.  Slow first season but gets better and better.

It’s awesome…one of the best things I’ve ever watched. Some of that sentiment probably hinges on when I watched it…things have moved on a bit since then so might not be as impactful as it was when it first came out, but I can’t imagine it is crap. There are a couple of lulls through the journey…you just have to get through those as you will be rewarded. It definitely gets better as the end of the whole thing comes.

I stopped halfway through. It was still well crafted etc, I just really stopped being interested in what was happening to these rubbish human beings. Didn’t even bother reading the wiki or anything, just put it down and did something else.

it’s great TV. Watch it,

it wasn’t massively over hyped when it was first shown in the UK. The first 2 series were on FX.

It started as more of a black comedy and got more serious as things moved on.

I’ve watched it twice and will probably do it again at some point.
