Out of all the TV shows I watch and have watched over the years, Breaking Bad is easily my favorite. Ok "favorite" is an understatement. I'm obsessed! That's why when I hear about Aaron Paul (who plays Jesse) telling everyone to "Sit down and shut up" at a Sigur Ros concert last week, it warms my heart a little.

Part of what makes the show enticing is the fact that the characters are so relatable and the plot is somewhat realistic. I mean, it's a bit far-fetched but it could happen. In fact, I just found out that there's an actual meth cook named Walter White on Alabama's "Most Wanted" list. I wonder if he's watched the show?

Oh I love this show. It's so different then any other show. It's filmed right here where I live in Albuquerque, NM. See them all around the city. But I hate the thought that it's their last season. I will really miss it.

I've been recording it every time it comes on, but haven't actually watched it yet. My brother insists I need to view it from the beginning, to truly appreciate it.

I'm pretty picky when it comes to television, but I've heard this is an excellent and intelligent show.

I agree with your brother, watch it from season 1 through the current season. Well worth it.

This show is one of the best filmed television shows ever made. Brilliant writing, brilliant acting, and absolutely brilliant camera work. Every single camera angle is done so deliberately and beautifully. The story is incredible and compelling. I can't say enough about how great this show is.

That's like saying,"Schindlers List...isn't that about Jews?"

It sure is, but I think about Liam Neeson.

Lol, well there's your problem. It's obviously not about Jews. It's about a lot more than that. Breaking Bad isn't about drugs. Drugs are a plot point in the show. It's about the great lengths a man will go to provide for his family. It's about challenging the viewer as to whether it's right or wrong. It's about what happens when a man starts to feel power for the first time in his life and how that changes him. You obviously don't appreciate a good story.

When I can. It is great writing, but sometimes the shock factor is so high, it is a bit intense. Feels too much like I'm at work! But the Malcolm Dad can act his behind off!

I really want to start watching it, but I'm still hooked on Broadwalk Empire, and following two tv series just seems too time consuming to me.

I don't like the promotion of violence, an the glamorization of cook that stuff. The people who do it are never cool.. they are just people who don't care about their community and lives of the people around them.
