Comment on Breaking: BAD

ITT: lemmites circlejerking about how big a contrarian they are.
I mean everybody is entitled to their own opinions, and after so many seasons, inevitably a show will have moments that are better and worse.
However, if you just shit on Vince Gilligan shows in general, what kind of shows do you actually enjoy watching?
I don’t shit on Vince Gilligan shows, I just don’t enjoy them (was only even aware of two of them before I just googled him). I don’t think they’re bad shows, they’re just not the type of show I like.
As far as answering your question as to what I do enjoy watching, I tend to lean heavily into sci-fi, fantasy, or horror genres. Doesn’t matter if it’s live action or anime, if it has a well built world with engaging storytelling, then I’ll binge it.

Potentially? In my experience people will flame you hard for not liking BB. Usually when people bring it up, if I mention I didn’t care for it, they get irrationally pissed.
One person even tried to tell me that the reason I didn’t like it was “because you’re young yet”. Like mf I’m in my 30s

I felt thing after stopping at season 2 and hearing about it after s4 started. I decided to catch up. I enjoyed it over all, but still felt it was too slow. Out of any “slow burn” character-driven shows show I at least moderately enjoyed it by the end? I’ll forever rue watching all of Mad Men.
Similarly, I will never go back to finish The Wire, The Americans, or Homeland after this.

You should not finish Homeland. I feel like they did not know where to go after the success of the first narrative arc. The Wire is slow but I found it worth it. At least watch the fuck scene.
