Iirc first episode is a banger, then mixed levels throughout season 1, most of season 2 was basically braindead, then decent quality for the remainder? Been a long time since I watched it.
Yeah I couldn’t stand it, and came to the comments because I was sure it would already be mentioned.
I stuck through season 1, pretending that the character’s arcs were believable and fast forwarding through some of the brutality, then gave up.
A friend convinced me to try again, but the seconds time I gave up after the season with the shots of the pool debris at the start. The payoff on that felt cheap and vaguely a violation of chekovs gun. After that I had to tell the friend who wanted me to watch it that I was done and wouldn’t be trying again.
I saw Breaking Bad all the way through when it’s final season was on. Recently tried to rewatch it and stopped when second season started cause I remembered how much I hated that plane crash.
Which is a shame because season 4 is an absolute masterpiece. It’s like a chess match between Walt and Gus with Jesse as pawn.
I have now tried 3 separate times to get through it. I always get bored, or honestly I really hate Walters wife. She is so incredibly cringey and hipocritical that it turns me off from the whole show. He does something that only affects him so he can try to improve his family, she takes it offensively. He gives up and she’s pissed because they’re poor. She cheats and then gets mad at him for some reason. She’s just a removed, and made me stop watching.
Yeah I don’t blame you. Watched the whole thing, but it was pretty hard to get into for exactly the reasons you stated, and my gf and I would probably have stopped if Better Call Saul (the episode of BB, not to be confused with the spinoff series of the same name) and the character it introduced hadn’t brought in some sorely-needed levity.
A broke teacher who’s wife is pregnant with their 2nd child finds out he has cancer and is given a short time to live needs to leave money for his family after he passes so they won’t struggle. Where the fuck did you get sell drugs to be quirky from?
Call me a monster, but Breaking Bad. It is just feel bad and cringe, I hate it lol.
I didn’t care for Breaking Bad, but I did enjoy “Better Call Saul” up until the last season. 🤷♂️
I’m so with you. I don’t think I know a single person who has seen Breaking Bad and didn’t like it. Meanwhile I hated it.
Some of the early episodes really show their age. It’s definitely still worth watching in 2025, but it is an old show at this point.

Really? Damn, I mean to each their own, but the show started getting really interesting in the episode where Walter brought in the fulminated mercury…

I can’t even start it. It just sounds so “omg gotta sell drugs so quirky!!”
It’s also one of those shows that every dude with bad taste loves to love hahaha
