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.
It's the adult Tom&Jerry.

Breaking Bad had too much family drama and slow pacing for my taste
wrote on last edited by [email protected]I found the characters very much basic-bitch white bread, but slow burn is like the entire reason it works at all
And it's very well executed.

I finished up to season 4, wondering when it was supposed to get good. I know there's a lot of hype around it, but I guess it just wasn't for me.
wrote on last edited by [email protected]Season 4 is the best one in my opinion.
Edit: Overall, Better Call Saul is much better than Breaking Bad.

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.
I don't think we were supposed to sympathize with him at that point.

I think knowing where it's going makes a big difference. Like, first time in going in blind Walt is a sympathetic for the first bit, and for most of the story is dealing with the unintended consequences of raising funds for his treatment. Knowing where it's going it's a lot easier to see him in a lot worse light earlier in the story.
Well yeah, that might be a factor, also that on a a second watch you can start picking up on things better, because it's much clearer from the get go that while his very initial intention to not leave his family behind poor, it really quickly becomes about his ego.

Is that tweet f a k e ?
I can only imagine the replies & reporting if it’s somehow real
Maybe that specific tweet was fake (or bait), but I do remember it from back then. There was a whole slew of easily misinterpreted posts on all social media around the release of the cyberpunk game and then again around the release of the anime.

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".🤮
Those names aren't doing a very good job of whitewashing.
-
I stole this from Instagram but you dont know that
also I've never seen breaking bad, is it good?
Good god I hope that tweet's fake cause if not, that person obviously doesn't proofread stuff lol. also Breaking Bad is one of the best shows ever and you should give it a watch

Warning - this post doesn't contain specific spoilers, but I would recommend against reading it if you haven't watched Breaking Bad because it may color your opinions of the ahow
I feel like you missed the point of the show if you thought the point was to show Walter sympathetically or as the good guy. The whole point of the show is that it is his pride and greed are ultimately what drive him to do worse and worse things no matter how much he tries to blame his actions on external circumstances. There are multiple instances where he does things that are completely unnecessary because at his core, Walter White is a bad person. He is not truly driven by desparation or by love of his family, but by his pride. He wants to earn his own money, and he enjoys being above the law and feels that he deserves all his money and power because he is smarter and superior to everyone. As he gets deeper and deeper into crime, it becomes clearer and clearer that his moral decay is entirely his own doing and not primarily driven by circumstances, even though Walter certainly tries to act that way. I can provide specific examples but I wanted to keep this post spoiler free.

wrote on last edited by [email protected]Nah man, Walt makes some egregiously selfish and egotistical calls even in season 1. For an obvious one, he turns down his old friend's money, money they say is effectively Walt's, just so he can rub his own ego even more. Then he goes on to use them as an excuse for where the money is coming from.
He robs his own school of supplies, too. There are many, many many selfish piece of shit things Walt does. From the start.
He also starts off being a judgemental piece of shit to Jessie even while he's trying to use him to do the same shit he's judging Jessie for.
Walt is purely a piece of shit that kind of sort of starts to redeem himself after he already created the whole mess to begin with.

Lol I love that it's a harrier jet. Someone should edit this to be that missing Malaysian airliner

i watched it all and it was so shit i lost faith in humanity because of how popular it was
That says more about you than you'd ever care to admit.

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.
I started watching breaking bad but got bored of it and dropped it
It's not healthy to force yourself to watch a TV show if you get bored of it even if it's popular
-

lol yeah it says i don't like subplots that go fucking nowhere and are immediately dropped like they never happened. or that i like satisfying endings to story arcs. or that I prefer things to have meaning rather than happen randomly for no reason. or that I think you should take less than 5 seasons to tell a story that's at best one season's worth. care to admit? lmao like it has some moral value. it's just a bland ass series with mediocre and inconsistent writing carried by amazing actors.

CP77.
Its really not that hard to abbreviate Cyberpunk 2077.
Not sure that's any better.

If I like the Anime version of it enough, I'll actually try Bb. I honestly never gave it a fair shot because of how controversial it was.

They made a sequel and kept going??
