*New to me. Yeah, I watched the first three episodes last night. It's great. I'm sure most of the US TV lovers on this forum have already seen it and stuff, but I was so impressed with the first couple of episodes I felt it should be brought to attention with a thread. So yeah, it's about a chemistry teacher who is diagnosed with cancer and given two years to live. He decides to put his mad chem skillz to good use and sets up a crystal meth lab with a former student in order to make THE MONIES to support his soon-to-be widowed pregnant wife and son. It stars the dad out of Malcolm in the Middle. It's funny, well-written, and as is common with the US shows these days, has film-grade cinematography. Get amongst it if you haven't already! http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Breaking_Bad |

It's one of my favourite US shows. Very much looking forward to the next season, whenever it's out. Oh, and it gets better and better after the first few episodes. |

I think it's supposed to be out about "now" isn't it? Yeah, probably my favorite show of last year. |

Yeah sorry - there are three seasons and a fourth is in production. It started in 2008 I think. |

You guys are really in for a treat. It keep getting better, and Walt's descent is absolutely amazing. Some of the best characters aren't introduced till later on too. |

One of my favorite bits of the whole thing is the mexican band at the start of one episode who basically do a "previously, on Breaking Bad" in a folk-music story telling style. It's awesome. |

The actor who played the cartel chemist in this week's episode -- what have I seen him in before? This is driving me mad and I can't find the guy's name on any cast list online. |

Malabelm wrote: ZOMG Spoiler! Click here to view! ZOMG Spoiler! Click here to view! Microscopic niggles aside, HOLY CRAPWOW WHAT A SERIES. I think the last four episodes in a row have left me staring frozen and spellbound at the black screen, such was the power of the closing scenes*. Before Breaking Bad, I think the only ending to a TV episode to ever hit me like that was the episode of Lost where Michael did that thing (you know what thing I mean if you've seen Lost). I've been waiting for the series as a whole to finish before going back and watching the whole series again, but I'm not sure if I can wait any longer. Breaking Bad is SO good, it's distracted me from getting excited about the new season of Dexter. (*Often because I'd long forgotten how many episodes there were in each season, meaning I'd assumed each ending was the season finale, before having to check.) |

Also: last week's WTF Podcast by Marc Maron features a great in-depth interview with Bryan Cranston, mostly about Breaking Bad: http://www.wtfpod.com/podcast/episodes/ ... n_cranston [SPOILER WARNING: I recommend you don't listen to that podcast until you've seen the latest episode of BB. It contains spoilers that aren't really meant to be proper spoilers but are very spoilery indeed.] |

Hmm, can't make up my mind about this. It's getting bummed as much as The Wire and that didn't grab me at all. Will try an episode or two. I gather the 'little things' in each episode make it worth watching as opposed to the general arc of the plot, which having read up on it sounds both daft and repetitive. Also apparently dead good actings. I guess the clips I've caught don't convey this as well as a whole episode might. |

They can't be compared, but I actually think I've enjoyed watching this more. And you do need to watch the first 2 or 3 episodes for it to grip you. |
