Sooo is Breaking Bad any good?

Hey duders, I need your advice. Looking for a new tv series to watch and have never seen this. Have read the premise and it sounds interesting. Heard Ryan mention it a few times on the Bombcast. Just wanted to know your opinions.

Cheers guys!

It's good, but I've never gotten past the second season because it's so intense. I watch television to relax, not to have a heart attack.

Breaking Bad is not bad. Seriously it's amazing.

Its the best damn show on TV. Watch it. Love it. Live it.

Yeah it is. It's an intense and suspenseful show, and for the most part has kept up the pressure constantly. They've already decided when it will end too, so it's unlikely they'll leave you hanging.

Absolutely fantastic TC. Do not skip it. Be warned though it is very intense and very adult. So well acted and written...best show on TV in my book. Can't wait for the new season in July.

You have until July 15th to catch up on the previous seasons before the new one starts. Should you fail in this mission, may God have mercy on your soul.

It's one of my favorite shows of all time. I watch it with my 65 year old dad. We both are huge fans.

Probably best thing that is airing on tv.

Is. Is. Fucking. Amazing.

You should probably go watch it before anyone posts a spoiler.

I watched it, and I honestly don't get why people love it so much. Just about everything that happened in it was seen coming from a mile away, and save for the first season, when Walter still came across as a guy trying to do right by his family--when I actually sort of liked the guy--the tension was similar to watching the journey of a snail.

It's ridiculously good.

SOLD!! Thanks guys. Now to hunt down the box sets.

it's fucking great

@Ninja_Welshman: First three seasons are on Netflix instant, in the US anyways, if you have it.

It's fucking superb; just, make sure you take your heart medication beforehand.

Breaking Bad is the best. So good I check for season 4 on Netflix every few days.

I don't care if you're already sold because I'M STILL GOING TO TELL YOU HOW AWESOME IT IS.

Yes it's amazing.

It's the Citizen Kane of meth related drama.

I wouldn't recommend living it (that would be dangerous). But otherwise I agree. Maybe. (Mad Men... Breaking Bad... Mad Men... Breaking Bad... God damnit I can't choose!)

Breaking bad is without a doubt my favourite 'serious' drama ever. Brian Cranston gives in my opinion the greatest dramatic television performance of all time as Walter White.

Just started watching it myself. I'm officially addicted. Also, The Killing, Mad Men, and Walking Dead are good shows. Really, just start watching every show that AMC produces.

Yeap.

Watch it NOW!

Crawl Space.

One of the most intense scenes of any show I've seen.

Somebody has to reference Breaking Brad before this thread is done.

Best thing on TV and still going strong, better than all the thrones and angry men. It's just fantastic and the character development is totally aces, the fantastic actors and the story line is like a slow railroad spike through your head. Your mind will be illuminated.

For people that have watched the show:

You should really watch it, and by the time you're done with the current episodes you'll probably be just in time for the new season.

Just watch the first episode and youll be hooked

It's one of the greatest TV series. Watch it!

Dude. Watch it.

One of the best shows on TV.

It's my favourite show.

Breaking Bad is, ironically, like meth. One taste and you're addicted.

It's god damn amazing. Breaking Bad >= Sex

No it's like meth in the way that after seven times it seems pretty decent, not totally addictive, so you can get into season two and...

@Ninja_Welshman: It's awesome, best show on TV. Very well done, very intense, and Bryan Cranston's transformation is a sight to behold. Highest recommendation, etc. Watch it! Watch it now!

It's fucking amazing. Each season has been better than the last as shit just goes more and more off the rails. And man, Season 4! GOD DAMN!

Nah. Don't bother.

Hands down my favorite show ever made. Sure I don't watch a lot of TV, but still.

Wow guys you sold me before but now I can't wait to see what all the fuss is about. I take it were taking The Wire good then? Please say yes.....

Also Uk duders

@Ninja_Welshman: It is as good as The Wire. If it ends well it will be even better in my eyes

I love Breaking Bad, it's one of my favourite shows.

Uh... Yeah.

It's shit (not really, it's great)

It's awesome. And since the new season starts in a month, now's a great time to start watching.

Yes. duh.

For the past couple weeks, AMC has been replaying the entire series a couple episodes at a time every night at 2 or 3 in the morning. My mom watched the first three seasons in the past two weeks by doing this.
