Hansel Posted August 13, 2013 Share Posted August 13, 2013 Series one is the slowest. Starts off great then gets a bit a slog in the middle when they focus on Walt's cancer then the last couple of episodes before series 2 get it back on track. I think some people expect it to be like a movie and have it all crammed into 90 minutes. Some episodes aren't as good as others but its the best TV show I've watched for years and years. I can't think of anything off the top of my head that even comes close. The amount of times that I have been taken by surprise with the story is what really blew me away. Quite shocking at times too. I think if you give it the time it needs you'll be hooked and watching 2 or 3 episodes every night to catch up. It's superb I can't recommend it enough. Cheers man. My brother is a huge fan so I'll borrow his boxset some time soon. I'm watching suns of anarchy just now but it's kinda cheesey, so might just abandon it.

Ray Gin Posted August 13, 2013 Share Posted August 13, 2013 It's more about the fact Jesse knows how bad Walt is but can't prove it. I don't think it's a tired storyline tbh, nobody can nail Walt....yet. Yeah it's being used to highlight the contrast in the evolution of their characters and Walter's transformation into being a ruthless ****. Jesse has a moral conscience and is utterly distraught and haunted by the things they have done and how they earned their money. Walter is continuing to lie without flinching and go about his life as if no ill-deed has been done. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

2NaFish Posted August 14, 2013 Share Posted August 14, 2013 SCIENCE, YEAH! There's a high correlation between good shows and getting their shit right, and the opposite. Breaking Bad is about as good as it gets. It was interesting to see just how much the prohibition of certain inert drugs simply leads to amateurs attempting more and more complex and dangerous chemistry.

Mr Romanov Saviour of HMFC Posted August 19, 2013 Share Posted August 19, 2013 It was alright, but it's now getting to the stage they could film Walter white taking a shit or 45 minutes and Folk would be saying it's genius.

BoJack Horseman Posted August 19, 2013 Share Posted August 19, 2013 I thought it was pretty slow as well. Not in the traditional sense, but in that some scenes just felt entirely too drawn out. It was either filler, or done for dramatic effect. I took it for the latter, but when you're gasping for the story to progress and you get 5 minutes of Skylar and Marie sitting not saying much, it certainly felt like it dragged. Good episode though, but more of a setup for the rest of the season than anything else. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good episode though, but more of a setup for the rest of the season than anything else. Those scenes have to happen though. Marie needed to find out the extent of what's went on and it would have done the whole show a disservice to have that be a minute conversation without the tension that was present . So I wouldn't say only for dramatic effect. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So I wouldn't say only for dramatic effect. Isn't that what dramatic effect is? It wasn't drawn out for the sake of it, but rather to build tension in the scene. So whilst some complain the episode was slow due to these drawn out scenes, others don't agree as the tension built by that was palpable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've watched it again and it does move slowly but it's always been about the pacing throughout the whole series for me. Something they've got bang on. Some episodes are pretty manic and some kind of drag out but it's always keeping you on an edge. If you didn't enjoy that episode then I'd reckon you don't particularly get the show tbh. Not aiming that at you in particular, just saying mate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
