If it takes 30 Episodes to not be boring, it’s not a good show.
BB wasn’t bad though, I just was completely unable to connect with it.

The joke is that episode 30 “Fly” is famously the lowest-rated episode of the series. At 7.9/10.
Kiernian@lemmy.world 4 hours ago
Interestingly, that was the episode that made me stop watching.
I suspect I just don’t normally like watching shows about miserable people making other miserable people even more miserable, which made the fact that I really enjoyed Boardwalk Empire a surprise.
Guess there must be some other element to it.

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.

Did you watch the movie el camino after bb? We just finished both for probably the 5th time, will watch bcs again this summer.

The second 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 three 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…

one piece is awesome bro, i swear bro you just have to sit through about 150 episodes bro where it’s kinda bad bro, but eventually it’s good bro.

I hate watching shows where you’re supposed to hate everyone. BB is one of those shows. Like how is that entertainment?
HeyThisIsntTheYMCA@lemmy.world 2 hours ago
do you MST3K comment on your shows or do you sit back and take them in?

Exactly, well written, well acted but the absence of sympathetic protagonists killed it for me. I just couldn’t care.

I liked that they weren’t afraid to have the main character so unlikable. It also made more sense after I realized it was a Neo-Western.

yesssssss
I hate those shows where the first 3-6 episodes are just dramatic shots with no plot whatsoever
or those where if you didn’t read the book you haven’t the slightest clue what’s happening for basically the entire first season

BB was a little slow at times. For that reason I don’t think it was as great as some people make it out to be.
I liked Better Call Saul a lot more. Didn’t seem as slow. But also seems like they didn’t really finish it properly or wrap up all the story arcs, which was a bummer.

I remember watching it. I don’t remember anything about it.

I gave up on this show the day Vince Gilligan was born. I knew from that day forward he was destined to be a terrible screenwriter. I vowed to never watch anything he would create.
Dasus@lemmy.world 6 hours ago
Bet you can’t even write a single paragraph on why you think he sucks if you have to put in something objective.
Soulphite@reddthat.com 5 hours ago
Im absolutely shitposting. To be clear.
I’ve watched Breaking Bad in it’s entirety over a dozen times, BCS at least 4 times, El Camino twice. Finished Pluribus already. The only thing I haven’t really got into fanatically is X-files, but I don’t dislike it.
thezeesystem@piefed.blahaj.zone 4 hours ago
I couldn’t get through Episode one for how horrible it is. I absolutely cant stand that show it’s so just. Dumb in my opinion. It was so bad I wanted to watch something else just to stop it or do anything else.
Hossenfeffer@feddit.uk 8 hours ago
I felt breaking bad would have been better as 3 seasons instead of 5. The middle just dragged on too long.
RickyRigatoni@piefed.zip 8 hours ago
You really did need to watch the entirety of malcolm in the middle after season 3 to get the full lore.

Not really everyone lives happily ever after
VerilyFemme@lemmy.blahaj.zone 2 hours ago
Everyone I know has stopped watching in Season 2, including me.
So glad I finished it though. It’s worth it after you get out of that rut.

I got tired of the characters doing stupid things… Repeatedly
Mangoholic@lemmy.ml 3 hours ago
I stoped at one if the ep where walter is with his family and its just depressing silence for a few minutes. Unbearable…

I like to rip on it but it still had character development
danc4498@lemmy.world 10 hours ago
I do not accept this. The first 3 seasons were incredible. The 4th season dragged.
b_tr3e@feddit.org 8 hours ago
I lost it during third. There literally were episode where absolutely nothing was happening to proceed the plot. Just the usual characters doing their usual things.
CidVicious@piefed.zip 7 hours ago
Season 3 was when I really got into the show. The problem wasn’t that the first two seasons were slow, they were just really dour.

Hey, look, I’m with you, and to tell you the truth, I didn’t even watched itm

I gave up after one episode and deleted my Netflix account.
Ghostie@lemmy.zip 8 hours ago
I gave up at the payment screen during account creation. Netflix must be high on more than just prices.
ramble81@lemmy.zip 9 hours ago
I couldn’t even get by 2 episodes before I gave up on it.
tyler@programming.dev 5 hours ago
Same, why do people like watching shows where you hate everyone? There’s no one to sympathize with!
VerilyFemme@lemmy.blahaj.zone 2 hours ago
You sympathize with aspects of each character and synpathize with different struggles.
Everyone has done something wrong in real life, and I like seeing that represented in a show.
Jesse is the good guy of Breaking Bad, imo. Dude’s worst crimes are being addicted to meth and listening to Walt’s advice. Hard to feel hate toward a pawn.
whiskybourbon@lemmy.world 45 minutes ago
Jesse is what killed it for me. He was tolerable and even decent in the first season but after that I just started to increasingly loathe him more and more until the point I couldn’t even stomach the idea of watching another episode. I loved everything else about the show too so it’s unfortunate.
underscores@lemmy.zip 33 minutes ago
For me it was Skyler, I know she’s not supposed to be likeable but that doesn’t excuse it for me.
I hate her character and she makes the show just unpleasant for me.
I did finish breaking bad though, about it being the best show of all time is not something I agree with. it’s alright
electric_nan@lemmy.ml 12 minutes ago
I hated Skyler the first time I watched it. The second time through, I felt a lot more sympathy for her character.
sangriaferret@sh.itjust.works 24 minutes ago
I think Skyler is pretty universally disliked. I thought the kid was annoying too which pretty much undermines the whole premise of the show.
q181c@sopuli.xyz 35 minutes ago
Same. His character just kept getting more and more annoying the whole time I watched.
