      Wouldn’t know. Never looked interesting to me, and the high pressure sales pitch from all the fans only made me less interested.

        It only picked up buzz at season 3. Almost nobody who did watch full series did start with s1 on release.

        Imo, Breaking Bad is worth it. It kept being engaging from start to finish and haven’t overstayed its welcome like some other mainstream shows.

          Guess I’m one of the few. No idea what to expect, watched it because it was Hal. Then some guys make fun of his disabled son and he walks out of the store while his wife is hoping he’d do something, and I thought “ah, shit, this won’t be any good, Hal is a coward in this one”. And then he walks through the front door and punches them out, and they hooked me with that scene because Hal was a badass. And he kept being a badass, to the point where I didn’t even really care about the morality (first viewing at least, I hated him the second viewing, though he’s still entertaining to watch) and just wanted to watch Hal take over or burn down the world. It’s a wild ride, even after multiple viewings.

          Better Call Saul is even better, though I found that one dragged a bit at the start and it took a couple tries to get into it.

        Never looked interesting to me either, but if the consensus amongst certain people is that a show is good, I’ll give it a try to find out for myself.
