Anyone else watch this show and love it? And also, I am through Season 3 and am trying to find a way to watch Season 4, any suggestions?

Breaking Bad and Dexter are as close to perfection as they come.

Breaking Bad and Dexter are as close to perfection as they come. That Gus bomb scene from last season is etched in my memory. Have this on my work wall in remembrance: http://images.nymag.com/images/2/daily/2011/10/13_gusmask.pdf
Just started The Wire and really enjoy that as well.

Maybe I should spoil how season 1 ends for ya
Great show. Walter White is one of the greatest tv characters of all time.
The U-Lok scene still haunts my dreams to this day. I will never look at a bike lock the same way again.

Season 2.1 kinda sucked. I've read the comics and knew that it was coming and had to happen, but still. It was 7 stagnant episodes that just started dragging and resulting in me giving up on it. :-\

I disagree I think it just keeps getting better and better.
loved breaking bad from the getgo. still have the pilot on my dvr..., it's considerably better than the majority of feature films in theaters. Almost tearful after the last episode.
'Justified' was intense the first couple of seasons..., still good but hard to continue the pace. Boardwalk Empire has become too slow.
'Luck' never got off the ground with me.
Would others agree that Breaking Bad is a much darker show than the Sopranos? Two of the few shows I have seen the last 5-10 years. I'm just kind of amazed because the Sopranos had such a reputation for being a dark show.
The development of the Walter White character is sheer genius.

I'm with klyrish, there were some farm episodes that flat out sucked.
Next run will be good with the jail.

Best moment of The Wire: Stringer Bell getting taken out by Brother Mouzone and Omar.
Worst moment: Omar meeting his maker by the hands of 12 year old, Kenard in the final season.
That's for ruining Breaking Bad for those people that haven't seen the last season.
You are certainly welcome Defender of All Who Haven't Seen Last Season. Well played. My post was done without malice. Just sharing something cool I found. My bad. But this just leads me to getting off this board altogether. So much petty bs and overall douchery. Wish I could take it back, but I can't. Thankfully, you showed me.

No, and that is why there is general etiquette when discussing stuff like that on a forum.
You put "SPOILER ALERT" if you don't want anyone to read it.
furthermore, if some people say you ruined it for them, the reasonable thing to do would be to go back and edit your post so you don't continue ruining it for everyone else who shows up.

It's a tv show that aired 8 months ago and you're on the internet reading a thread specifically relating to that show. I'd say you should have known the risks.

Oh so I guess we should just ruin every tv show then. Since apparently you are the only one who has enough time to watch everything.
I came to the thread to see if there was news about it. But thanks for deciding that it is my fault that I have a life and am only at the start of season four.
unnatural carnal knowledge you.
Hards, where are you watching Season 4 from?
Quote from: Strokin 3s on May 14, 2012, 03:17:30 PM

planned to netflix it.
Breaking Bad is a wonderful show, on the short list of all-time great non-network series.
A few others on my list (I hope I don't leave any out):
Six Feet Under, The Wire, Dexter, The Shield, The Sopranos, Curb Your Enthusiasm, Mad Men, Deadwood, The Larry Sanders Show, Damages.
I agree that 2.1 of The Walking Dead wasn't up to par with the earlier stuff, but it still was one of those rare shows that kept me on the edge of my seat, and I'm looking forward to next season.
I'm really digging Game of Thrones and Nurse Jackie so far. Thoroughly enjoyed first season of Homeland. Have high hopes for Veep; I've laughed a lot the first few episodes.
Guilty pleasure: Shameless (on Showtime). Often stupid, and usually foul for the sake of being foul ... but just as often extremely funny. Only Curb Your Enthusiasm has had as many laugh-out-loud moments during the two years Shameless has been on. William H. Macy is too funny.
Always watched Entourage, but it evolved into The Ari Show and lost a little of the camaraderie I liked. Seemed Vince and E were doing their thing and Turtle and Drama were off doing something else; meanwhile, Ari was going batcrap. Got back to its roots the second half of the last season, which was good.
I guess one could stretch the definition and also call Colbert, Stewart and Maher "cable series." If so, all would qualify for any best-of list.
Damn ... I watch too much TV! (But at least it's good TV!!)

you might want to watch the original UK episodes of Shameless, created by the producer of the Showtime version although the plot lines will be very similiar it now has 9 seasons of shows in the can
Since this is the defacto "TV" thread, I wanted to put in a recommendation for Season Two of the new "Sherlock" TV series. It's on PBS and is only running three episodes, but each episode goes just under 1.5 hours, so they're more like mini-movies. Way better than the Guy Ritchie movies.
Season One was really good. Season Two is better (so far).

Cumberbatch is excellent in the title role.
Best show i have ever seen. You can watch season 4 online in HD.
Bump
Just checked on time warner and the first 3 episodes of Season 4 are now "OnDemand" channel 1402 for Breaking Bad for those of you like me who haven't seen Season 4. I am guessing they will release a couple episodes per week leading up to the season 5 premier in mid July.
Season 4 is out on DVD today. I wonder when it will be on Netflix?
Count me as one that thinks this is not only the best show in TV but possibly one of the best television series ever.
The season five poster was just released (below) ... and I'm psyched for this season to begin.

Just started watching "the Boss" via On Demand. Without spoiling it for me, how has this been received? Multiple seasons on the horizon (one 1 so far, right?)? As my wife and I joke as favorite shows end or go on hiatus, I'm not sure I want another relationship. But if it's the right one...
Only a month left until BB, thankfully. Maybe "the Boss" will just be that dirty, alley-sex fling?
Not to get back on topic, but I just finished Season 4 of Breaking Bad:
Does anyone else feel like the story line of the plane crash seems a bit unfinished? To me, that seems like the direction new episodes may follow.

I thought that too, but then realized it was probably an easy plot line. Then I realized how many unfinished bits were left when the Sopranos ended.
Season 5 opener was great fun.
I think what makes the show so great for me is the transformation of Walter White from season 1 where he was a depressed, vastly underachieving high school chemistry teacher with what he thought was terminal lung cancer into what we see in the first episode of season 5...He has truly broke bad. Vince Gilligan set out to make the protagonist into the antagonist and it's turned into one of the best shows of all time. Walter White has literally no redeeming qualities left, while Jesse has turned into sort of a calming influence. It's just a very well written show.
btw - get caught up on the first four seasons in this 10 minute video

Anyone else feel like the opener was a little predictable? The "Walt becomes more evil each season" thing is so linear it's almost boring me by now. Will they announce seasons 6 and 7, which end with Walt working with Al Qaeda to blow up Congress?
(That said, I went out and bought Season 3 on DVD last night...)
This is the last season. It has been highly publicized that it would be the last season but split into two sessions.
It was a rhetorical question . . .
The whole "last season" split into two sessions thing is just idiotic to me. Just call it two seasons, you aren't showing them in the same year, which to me indicates a different" season.
Stepping down off soapbox now.
I'm still having semi-nightmares of the final nursing home scene after finishing up season 4 of Breaking Bad last Monday. This show is so fantastic but my God, it's so graphic sometimes it's almost unwatchable. The U-Lok scene from season 1 is a great example (as is the acid in the tub breaking through the ceiling and splashing all over the hallway).
Ugh, it's so disgustingly fantastic!
Characters in this show are so well and so deeply written. Lydia is in only two scenes and a vastly different character in each. But its not so much of a stretch or change. Last night was the real season premier.

I find nothing at all boring about it. Still one of the very best shows since the dawn of AMC/FX/HBO/SHOW/TNT/etc original series. To each his or her own.

The Walking Dead is super entertaining, but the acting and storytelling is pretty bad. Don't get me wrong, I like it and enjoy it, but it is nowhere near Breaking Bad. The farm episodes were terrible.
Mad Men is far and away the best show on television. Breaking Bad is a close 2nd. Dexter is good but the last season really fell off. Game of Thrones and Homeland probably rounds out the top 5.

Good start to the list with Mad Men & Breaking Bad and Game of Thrones is fantastic but Dexter hasn't but that great since Trinity and Homeland really jumped to coo-voo-ville last year (IMHO). I personally would put The Americans and Boardwalk Empire on the list over Dexter and Homeland.
One thing is for sure, this is truly a golden age for TV with movies being in the sheeeter.

Agree wholeheartedly. You can make a case for replacing Homeland or Dexter with Boardwalk Empire. And I wouldn't disagree with you. Its a tossup.
no love for the 1st season of Hannibal here?
I saw the preview of Almost Human yesterday on Fox...rather interesting. Somewhat of an iRobot type of series, but it was entertaining. Sleepy Hollow was interesting as well. I believe both are coming out in the fall or late fall (after MLB), can't remember.
