Look there are two kinds of people with breaking bad.
Those who loved it, and those who haven't watched much or any of it.
My ex got me into it, and she's kind of.... Well, shes not brilliant. So I didn't take her recommendations too seriously most of the time (I really don't enjoy Teen Mom or 90 day fiance or 600lb life). But this? This show hooked me. It takes quite a few liberties with the sciency bits and lawyer bits, but it's fun even with a bit of knowledge cause it starts with something being "technically correct." It's well written more than anything.
wrote on last edited by [email protected]Idk man, as a science communicator, I watched it and thought it sucked. I know enough about any science field to explain to laypeople, but not enough to properly engage experts usually. I try, but my specialty is breadth, not depth.
It’s not a bad show per se, but it’s a bad show, imho, as far as normal human motivations are concerned. Who gets their shit handled and still risks their whole family's shit? Like maybe it’s just me but that’s stupid and hard to believe.

I've never managed to watch the whole series. There's great bits but I get super uncomfortable with Walters bumbling, flagrant dishonesty with his wife and family. I get the same thing with a few different shows and I just don't enjoy it. To the point where I find myself just switching the TV off mid way through a scene and going to do something else without even really thinking about it.
If I had to describe the sensation it would be "extreme toe-curling cringe".
I have the same problem with stuff. Can you, um.. anti-suggest?
Like suggest things I should avoid that hit those same tropes that made bb unwatchable for me..?

I watched all of it and I found it boring and frustrating 99% of the time..

I made it like 3 episides of season 1 before I threw in the towel lol
I got to the bathtub scene, said "wow that's amazing television" and stopped watching. I get it, he sucks and he's going to get worse.

Honestly from the point where
::: spoiler spoiler
Walter was offered to have his entire treatment paid for and turned it down in favour of selling drugs...
:::...he lost all my sympathy. I was increasingly curious about how things were going to go wrong for him. More fascinating train wreck, less investment in him personally.

Yeah, that shit.
That’s exactly it, and where I stopped because omfg who does that..???
Nobody with normal human motivations, that’s who.

My personal anti-suggestion is always the office. Too much cringe. I'll watch compilations of Jim pranking Dwight on YouTube, but I can't watch the show as a whole because of Michael.

For sure, the cringe of the office is unbearable, and I have no idea who you named.. other than knowing they were in the show..? I tried so hard to try to like it that sucks so hard to have people all like “no but give it time!” …bitch.. I did give it time.. I even tried the UK version and it’s the exact same thing with different people.
Same with always sunny (sans UK version, I doubt that exists.. it wouldn’t translate..).. I can’t get past the first impression, the gang gets racist… like ok, this clearly has nothing for me..?
Maybe it does, but I’ll never honestly be able to get past the start to know (other than memes, I know many of those bits)
-
those who haven’t watched much
I mean... I think I know what you're trying to say, but this seems to imply that you think someone who doesn't like a show should just carry on watching it anyway
Sometimes that's true. Not all times. But some shows have a weak season 1 but then get amazing. And you can't really skip it without losing context.

Breaking Bad had too much family drama and slow pacing for my taste
Imo, it being slow and very much deep diving into characters is what makes it phenomenal instead of just a shallow action flick.
It's also a rather litmus test for maturity imo.
I first watched it during University years, and I was very much of the camp that was doing the vicariously living through the power fantasy of Walt's rise to power and the bitch wife and crying jessie ruining it for him.
I recently, like a year ago as a 31+ year old rewatched it again, and jesus christ what a top to bottom egoistic selfish asshole Walt is, all I did is feel sorry for Skyler and Jessie.

Its really not that hard to abbreviate Cyberpunk 2077.

Good thing is nowadays it's being referenced to as CSAM (Child Sexual Abuse Material), due to children are unable to give consent and some weirdos tried to whitewash it by calling the less outrageous stuff "child erotica" or "artistic nudes of children".🤮
