Breaking Bad. I heard I’m not the only one who started watching it and gave up after the first 2 or 3 episodes that were just setting the scene at a fairly slow (boring) pace. Someone had to convince me to push through them because it gets so much better. It does.
I will be the dissenting voice then. Knowing what it is, I started watching it, and watched all the way to something like mid-second season. But then I just stopped and didn’t really miss it.
BB for me was one of those “ok, last episode… … … OK, now really last episode then bed… … … OK, I know I have to wake up in 5 hours, so now really, REALLY last episode then bed.” And so on.
In my opinion it is the best written show in history. It has a succinct arc and every character is there on that arc for a reason. It ended when it should and kept true to the story the entire time.
I had a chance to read the pilot pitch script for Breaking Bad and it was one of the best I have ever read. Was the reason I started watching the show in the first place.

Better Call Saul is also spectacular. In fact, I might go so far as to claim it’s better than BB…
You would not be alone in that assessment. Lots of us agree. It is absolutely the better show.

BCS wasn’t like that to me at all.

I think it took me 3 attempts before it took hold.
