I had the same experience, but you have to get through that and you will start to notice so many little things that are connected. + this show gets better with every episode...
Rating: 81
Saul Goodman
He is one of the characters who made Breaking Bad funnier. Especially with his two guys, Huel and Kuby. Saul's mouth is just like any lawyer in general, good with words. At first, he seems dangerous for Walt's drug operation, but in a matter of fact, he helped Walt and Jesse so much. Anyways his role in Breaking Bad could be more developed, but probably that's why there is a spin-off about him, Better Call Saul.
Marie Schrader
Marie's role is kind of underappreciated by Breaking Bad fans. But that's understandable because she barely got her important moments as a character. It was unfortunate as a regular character in the show from day one. In her few moments, she successfully gave this show an emotional element especially when she reacted to the situation regarding Hank. Her moments with her sister also created more depth for Skyler.
Tuco Salamanca
The first villain for Walt and Jesse. Only one word can describe his character, wild. His behavior was very unpredictable. He was so easy getting temperamental and he didn't hesitate to beat his men for no reason. His first appearance was the brutal side of the drug business. The way he talks made everyone don't want to be in the same room with him. Salamanca's family is not the right people to be messed with.
Mike Ehrmantraut
Mike is proved how good the writing of Breaking Bad is. The show's decision to give Mike more depth, instead just showing him as a random hitman is made his character feel real. He already showed up in the second season but did not get much exposure until the last season. His connection with Saul Goodman was interesting to watch, there is some history between them that is interesting to explore in Better Call Saul.
Gus Fring
He is the main villain in Breaking Bad. Also, he is the scariest and most dangerous person throughout the seasons. Gus made the tension escalate when Jesse and Walt had a conflict with him. Gus's power in the show is incredible, a famous person with the most innocent looking in public. Then we got his backstory with the Cartel which made us feel odd because we had some kind of empathy for this guy. His last moment is so badass.
Skyler White
Some people are probably annoyed by Skyler's character because of her conflicted heart. But that's made her character how normal person reacts to what Walt did. Skyler and Walt are similar, they are selfish on some points. That made their communication is so problematic and put their family harmony in a bad way. Skyler has a lot of moments that show how good Anna Gunn is as an actress.
Jesse Pinkman
Jesse is the most destroyed person in the show. Since season one, Walter White never stopped manipulating him and made him in a lot of low points. But he had an ups and down relationship with Walt. Sometimes Jesse sees Walt as his tutor or even father figure since his real father ignored him. Every moment with Jesse is almost always depressing. Jesse and Walt are the best interaction and relationship that this show gave.
Hank Schrader
Hank's mission to put Heisenberg in jail made the show feel so exciting. The fact that the person whom he looking for is his brother-in-law made him in a unique position. From the first episode to his last episode we could watch how he turned from a cheerful uncle to a grumpy serious officer. If we compare his facial expression from season 1 and season 5 we could know he through a lot of stress, anger, and disbelief.
Walter White
The man behind the chaos. A normal chemistry teacher became a drug lord mastermind. Walter is the example of a best-written character ever in the history of television/series. His transformation from boring Walter White to heartless Heisenberg put us in a lot of shock in the entire series. Kill after kill he did make his eyes blinded by blood and his mind only thinking of winning without caring about the cause of it.
A fun ride, but not one I feel any compulsion to labour through again.
One of the best series ever made. Incredible characters and fantastic story!
For those who miss this awesome show: https://soundcloud.com/bobafatt/bad-breaks
I seriously can see why so many people like this; sure is different and unique but for some reason it just didn't "grabbed" me. Tried 4 episodes...that´s it, I didn't connect with the story or the characters, and with so much show I´m currently following i gave up...
Breaking Bad is THE TV show. Never seen anything better. Recommended viewing for all. Bryan Cranston, Aaron Paul, Giancarlo Esposito, Bob Odenkirk and all others give life to characters that will remain in history and in the hearts of everyone, no ifs, ands or buts. Differently from other series, the ending leaves open anything and nothing is put there by chance. Everything back. All this creates a universe so true, so frightening, so shocking, so wonderful.
Took me an awfully long time to get through the first season. And I'm very tempted to drop the show entirely since I'm now at S02E03 and the show still hasn't got me hooked!
Having just watched the finale of Breaking Bad, I can now say that it is one of the few series that work perfectly from beginning to end. This isn't to say it couldn't be criticized - it was often far fetched, and in the first season the series didn't quite have a hold of its characters, with Walter making some overly-sudden shifts and Jesse's IQ seemingly wandering up and down - but it was always incredibly intelligent and entertaining, the acting was always amazing, and the show managed to effortlessly move from gritty realism to flights of fancy (like that mariachi song that began one episode).
It is wondrous how beautifully formed character arcs are. Walter, who loses tiny pieces of his soul in ever episode, Jesse, who lets himself be lead into deeper and deeper waters, and Skyler, whose underrated (and often castigated) role is perhaps most relatable; she has to choose between the rock and the hard place, and knows from the start that there are no good options.
What's most impressive about Breaking Bad is it never fell apart. There were no extraneous episodes, no period where it lost momentum or seemed to be treading water. The show moved with purpose. It knew what it was about - consequences and arrogance - and it never lost sight of that. It was a series that remained true to itself. Some series start great and lose their way (Lost), some series fall apart in the end (Battlestar Gallactica), some get taken over by people with a different vision (Gilmore Girls), some brilliant series get canceled in the first season, so no matter how good that ending was going to be, we'll never see it (Earth II). Breaking Bad gave us five virtually perfect years, and the only thing bad about it is now that it's over I need to find something new to binge watch.
This is one of the best show's I've ever seen. The acting is top notch... It's easily on my 'top three best shows ever' list. I loved Cranston in Malcolm in the middle, had me rolling laughing more than a few times. He's so good in this, shockingly good, the guy is imo possibly the best tv actor. Totally addicted to it now. I didn't expect to like it as much as I do, the first few ep's were good, but it gets so much better as the story fleshes out. Give it a chance to get going if you find yourself not liking it at first.
12/10 Stars!
I watched this series now the 8th time, and I can't stop watching it again and again. This is the best series I ever watched!
I've finally gotten around to watching this show and needless to say, I loved it. I don't tend to pick favorites with anything and while I thoroughly enjoyed this show, I'm a little baffled how so many people are calling this the greatest show of all time. It has great cinematography, in-depth meaning to the episode names, foreshadowing or symbolism in unique ways, but shouldn't how much you enjoy the show also play a factor in whether or not it's the 'greatest show of all time'? Just because a majority calls something the best of its category doesn't make it the best. Don't get me wrong, I don't hate the show. I just think that even if a show is bad to a majority's standards, there's still someone out there who considers that show the greatest show of all time. It doesn't matter if more people think a show is the greatest show of all time, it doesn't automatically make it true. Everyone has different tastes. Just like how there's also a majority who don't like or hate this show and aren't a fan of it, and that's completely fine. I liked this show even though it was pretty slow multiple times, but I wouldn't consider it the greatest show of all time. Everyone has their own 'greatest show of all time.' This show just isn't mine.
Breaking Bad and The Wire!
Best Series ever!
After you finished it, I give you a few months! ...
You want to watch it again! :D
PS
and maybe Firefly... ;)
Arguably the finest tv series of the last decade.
one of the best series around..
I watched the show 2 times. It's not enough ever.
obviously a 10.
also, skyler haters are just misogynists, plain and simple. she doesn't have to be your favorite and you can totally find her annoying but if you seriously watched all that and garnered that she was the "true villain", I've got nothing.
Probably one of the best innovative explorations in the human character and what can happen when faced with crisis. Well written and very well acted. Definitely a show not to miss.
(via TV Blaze for WP)
The acting, the story, the characters, what can you say that hasn’t already been said. If you haven’t seen this show you should honestly make it a priority.
the most realistic shows of all time no question!
It’s just simply a masterpiece
This is an absolute masterpiece, loved and hated every single second of it, forever stunned
Too good to have missed it for so long. I would have loved to watch the episodes week after week to maintain the suspense, but I consumed it in less than a month. Each chapter is better than the last, its characters are memorable and YOU NEVER KNOW WHAT TO EXPECT. The script is impeccable and the effects are amazing. Heisenberg is easily one of the most cunning characters in film and TV history. Simply... a work of art.
This is a tv show I thought I would never like and put it off for years. Boy was I wrong for that. The show is great! Good story line and great character development. I can not recommend any more
Great show greatest overall story out of any show ever. Slow at times but still debatably greatest show of all time
Greatest tv show to ever exist. (Not even close)
Just masterpiece, 10/10, never watched the series better.
Amazing show but I grew to loathe episodes with Skyler in it. Shes incredibly masculine and very irritating which is perhaps the point. However it took away a lot of the shows focus IMO.
Binge-watched it 3 times so far, and I’m still not done with Breaking Bad. Simply put, it’s brilliant in every way.
AMAZING

finally years and years of seeing those memes of this show, I finally watched it and it turned out to be my favourite show of all so far! it's so good, fuck yeah :D
I'd easily put this up there with The Sopranos as one of the most important TV Shows of all time.
Just finished my 7th or 8th time through this series. Just incredible. Seems like I notice subtle things each time through.
Fantastic tv show! In my opinion, this is my favorite!
The best series ever made

Not sure what all to say about this show in a few words except that it is incredible. Other than some SLIGHT pacing issues in season 1, every episode gets better and better. The story builds. The characters build. The severity of everything just keeps building. And then its over. Then you realize nothing will ever come close to the near perfection that this show was. Not Better Call Saul. Not El Camino. Breaking Bad is world class content that I can only hope I get to nearly experience in some other show in the future.
Average Season Review: 9.8/10
Recommendation: Must See (For Anti-Hero Drama Fans)
the fourth season was the best one i have seen till now
MY THOUGHTS ON BREAKING BAD:
-WARNING: Spoilers Below-
There's a single word that explains this TV Show perfectly and that single word is... MASTERPIECE. From start to finish this show was amazing and kept you captivated all throughout. I honestly believe this will be remembered as a television great. Of course there were some episodes that were mediocre and could have done better but overall the show was phenomenal.
Looking back on it I don't think there was a single season that I disliked, of course some seasons had episodes which I didn't like but that doesn't mean I didn't like the season as a whole. I think the opening season and the final season were the best out of the lot mainly because they opened and closed the show off perfectly, giving us the perfect opening chapter and perfect closing chapter.
There was some characters in the show that annoyed the life out of me though and at times I stopped focusing on the scenes when they were the main focus because I found them far too annoying. These characters were Walter White JR and Jesse. Walter was honestly one of the most annoying characters in television history and then Jesse was so irritating, there were many decisions he made which I wish he didn't it was like he did it just to be edgy.
Overall this was possibly one of the best TV Shows that I have ever watched and I'll always look back on it fondly, it had a brilliant yet sad ending and it had an amazing start. It was such a brilliant journey. If you're reading this before you've watched it all I'll say is... You're in for a treat.
Overall rating: 8/10
The greatest writing,acting i've seen on tv(laptop) ever.
Clever plotting is not an adequate replacement for actual substance
Overall this show is great, it does suffer from those slow episodes but it all has a magnificent pay off. The final season was absolutely brilliant and gripping; this is definitely a show to watch.
This is by far THE BEST SHOW I HAVE EVER WATCHED.... I have watched it 3x to date. There will never be another Walter White or Jessie Pinkman duet. Sad this show ended:cry: The acting is superb, the writing immaculate. I would rate it 11/10 if I could. Breaking Bad is a MUST SEE!!!
Great show will watch again
Best TV series ever, period.
Greatest show of all time.
Breaking Bad, a show where the very fundamental elements they build upon over five seasons explode in one very famous episode, and before you know it Breaking Bad has ruined TV for you, because you know it can't get better than this.
Wish I could watch it for the first time again.
A series that was on my to-watch list since its last season ended in 2013, which I finally decided to watch in 2019, turned in to one of my favorite series of all time. Completed it in probably 3 weeks and loved every goddamned second of it. Beautiful story, characters, music, everything about this show was wonderful. The ending was, in my opinion, one of the most satisfying and beautifully written endings I have seen in a long time in a TV Show.
if i could erase my memory and forget all about this serie to rewatch it , I would do it for ever ! No words can describe this master piece I love it !
Doubts about seeing this masterpiece? Ever seen best?! This is the best. No comments. Just WATCH!.
Best tv series ever! Everyone who has not seen this yet is lucky..10'''/10 Epic!
There is no better tv drama/mystery/action show made. Breaking Bad is a 10 for me.
The best tv serie ever!!!
There is a high propensity to feel a bit dragged during the first or sometimes the second episode, but after believe it or not you will be just completely into it. One of the best I ever seen tbh!.
i watched it along the way
The best series I've watched till now.....the story.....acting.....character development..... everything is just mind blowing....
Especially the last season HATS OFF....
Agreed. This show is amazing and one of the best dramas on TV right now. If you are looking for a new show to watch, pick this one.
A new standard for television. Watch it or be left in the dust. This program is a masterpiece that should be taught in film school.
I think this might be the best drama show ever made. It's the only one I watched all over again for the second time after it ended. And now, after another few months, I really miss it and want to watch the whole thing for the third time. Absolutely epic!
Simply best tv show ever
When I think about Breaking Bad, when I look back at the summer I spent watching it one season after the other, I get goosebumps. It is not JUST a TV show, it transforms you, it makes you think. After watching the last episode, the series stuck in my mind for long after that. After a year I still have random thoughts about certain scenes, about how breathtaking the cinematography was, about the genius of so many plotlines. Breaking Bad is perfection, and I would give everything to be able to see it again for the first time!
Best television series of all time.
one of the best tv shows I've ever seen. MASTERPIECE.
Absolutely brilliant. Enjoyed all the episodes until the very end.
Breaking Bad is even more addictive then crystal meth.
The latest season is again hilarious.
Absolutely must see.
The actors nominate themselves to get awards again.
That last episode was nailbitingly fantastic, except for the literal Face-Off. Very unrealistic and a bit two-facey...
I rate it "could you please" Jess"my "E" "out of ten
The best thing about this show is that it layed down the carpet for the masterfully crafted Better Call Saul.
Just to be clear, Breaking Bad is a very solid piece of television, just not as good as people make it out to be. The suspension of disbelief required from the viewer at times is too overwhelming. The main plot and protagonist transformation are not convincing either.
No Doubt The Best Series from last two decades.
If you don't like this show, that's a you problem.
One of the best shows ever!!
Collective abduction. A decent show with a well structured plot but terribly sloooooow and a horrible last season with characters making a bunch of incoherent and stupid decisions yet ending in a grand finale.
Skyler reminds me of Woody Harrelson with a blonde wig and Marie of the young Ozzy in the video of the song Paranoid
The best show there ever was.
Prison Break, 11.22.63 and Breaking Bad, the best series ever!
This is by far my favourite show!
The best drama of century \o
The best serial drama I have ever seen in my life. You actually live the story. Because deep down inside, circumstances pending, we all have a bit of Walter in us. The story has so many twists and turns, then goes off in a tangent you would never in your wildest dreams think of. Fantastic writing and production.
Breaking Bad is by far the best drama I have I been ever seen in my life. Get the box set and watch it from star to finish. How everyone managed when is was screened the first time, I will never know. Having to wait for the next series. A truly fantastic and engrossing drama series. I don't think it will ever be topped, I can only give it 5 stars, it definitely deserves more.
I seriously don't get the point of this show or why would anyone want to watch this. There are so many shows out there that are more interesting than this.
Superb. I think one of the best I've ever seen. A must see TV show
The best show ever created
Must see, though you have to plough through the seasons in the middle. But: rewards you at the finish line.
Just fucking amazing, one of my favorite shows.
I have never watched a series where the developement of the characters never stopped. From Season 01 to Season 05 only to name it with the example of Walter: He developed every episode further and further. This whole five seasons are a role model for character development.
Very intense, very frustrating (even I could take the lies of him anymore), very thrilling, brutal and bloody (not positive, but it fits in) and with a realistic show final!
Nothing comes close to this!! Outstanding
One of the best shows ever? Quite possibly. The first season is admittedly slow yet watchable and involving. But there's an early point in season two, it kicks in and it starts firing on all cylinders. It builds up and is a masterclass in tension until a brilliant ending.
Todd is a much better Dexter
"This show has ended." Way to rub it in, trakt.
And that's a wrap.
Well what can you say, fantastic ending to one of TV's best shows ever.
Unparalleled character development a gripping story and top notch production values from start to finish. Thanks, this was a highly enjoyable, if sometimes very painful, ride.
Makes one wonder if we ever see a show as good as this ever again... we can only hope!

They are really, really nicely done!
Watching these got me all fired up for 5x09 again :D
Brilliant writing combined with flawless, top-notch acting & incredible good motion picture is leaving absolutely no doubt...
THAT THIS IS THE GREATEST 'DRAMA' SERIES IN TV HISTORY.
The terrifying realistic scenario & all that comes with it, will get under your skin - it's literally 'a thrill'!
I am running nuts the see the show continue (2013-07-15), even sadly this MASTERPIECE is coming to an end! (O_o)
120 Days remaining.

I have watched a lot of tv-shows in my life, (and when I say 'a lot', I mean A LOT) and this is by far the best show I have ever seen. I am not the same person after watching this brilliant masterpiece. I swear I could watch this show thousand times in a row and not get tired of it (tbh, I would probably love it EVEN more). Thank you Vince Gilligan for enlightening my life with the world's best cinematic experience.
