I watched the first season, and I was bored beyond words. I couldn’t care less about any of the characters, and thought the story wasn’t compelling at all. My question is: is it worth giving it another shot? I hate wasting time on over-hyped shows, but it seems that everyone loves this show.

At least you should watch this season and only a few episodes left. To see how it ends. These episodes move the storyline much faster.

One of my favorite episodes is Season 2, Episode 6 titled "Peekaboo."

It's where we start seeing Jesse as more than an Eminem wannabe.

You might try watching that one and see if it draws you in.

All I saw was degeneration into evil.

No hope for redemption.

I don’t watch the merely depressing.

I would say that if you watched the whole first season and didn't like it, then you shouldn't bother watching the rest. The action and complexity increase over time, but it maintains the same tone and style throughout. I loved the first season, btw.

If you liked Sopranos, you’d love Breaking Bad. I have run into a few people who genuinely dislike the show, but they those folks love The Big Bang Theory and The Housewives of the OC so your basic moron segment of the viewing public. It can be very cerebral, but as a lover of Vince Gilligan for a while since the X-files days the guy has really honed his craft.

well not everyone likes what others like. my general/rule’is if lots’like something i probably won’t. i came late to the game and watched about 4 years of the show across a couple months.

i think it also helped that i hapoened to like bryan cranston from his prior roles - all comedies so i was’kind of interested in how he’d pull off drama with some dark humor.

the best thing about the show is the characters, and plot are believable, for the characters as they are written. problems seem to naturally occur. nothing is awkwardly forced. how ‘people’deal with it is plausible. that’s how it gets you into it. i thik the general story concept was interesting to me. to see how they would’write it and pull it off without jumping the shark and keeping it believable.

of course not everything is everyone’s cup of tea. i never got into mad’men, or the sopranos, or other shows people’went nuts about.

First season was the best with Tuco
