    I gave it up at season 2 when I first started watching.

    Then I watched Better Call Saul years later and it was one of my all time favourites. Then I went back to Breaking Bad and liked it even better than Better Call Saul. Breaking Bad didn’t resonate with me initially and I’m so very glad I have it another chance.

          It’s not a great movie, but it wraps up Jessie’s story pretty well. I liked it. Solid 7 in the BB universe. Lots of cameos too, which was cool.

            I’m completely up for watching average media. When did we become too good for average? 5/10 is enough for me to give something a shot. Maybe even 4/10 if someone tells me it had some nugget of value.

              Oh, I watch “avg” shit all the time. Anaconda only got a 4 on imdb, that shit was amazing. I don’t trust the numbers always. And siskel and ebert rated tommy boy the worst movie they’ve ever seen. Lmao. They can’t be trusted with reviews.

      The third season really became boring as fuck somewhere half through it. Totally missed the density and speed of the first season. I think the fact that they got a contract to produce five seasons made them stretch the plot to the point where basically nothing happened over certain episodes. Compare that with the speed in which the early plot moved…

        Third season is where I gave up. First two were good but didn’t draw me in enough to slog through the absolute snooze fest of the third. I’ve never been interested in going back.
