Twenty three minutes into Episode 514, entitled “Ozymandias” after a Shelley poem, Breaking Bad made television history. Except that most fans didn’t notice. They were instead ready to cry, scream, vomit, or hurl a waffle iron at the plasma TV, or some combination of the above.

I got through three episodes and came to the same conclusion. I never made a decision to stop watching it... I just never made the decision to watch it again.
It was very well done. It was just so ugly. And I’m all stocked up on ugly in this sick, free-falling world.
That, and the whole antihero protagonist thing is kind of done to death anymore.
Just curious why you would post that.
You are certainly free to watch whatever you like. Clearly, the ratings on this show are not 100/100, not everyone watches it.
But why would you post that you don’t watch it? I never really understood the motivation of posting like that on an Internet forum.
The bottom of your foot laid bare????
I started watching it on Netflix a little over a month ago and had to haul @ss to catch up in time for this year’s premiere.
INTENSE!
Extremely masterful handling of the transformation of every man to evil Machiavelli.

Great show. Terrific acting, writing, production, character development. I might rate The Walking Dead slightly higher in the last category. Both are excellent.
Probably a lot of FReepers won’t agree, but Sons of Anarchy also features outstanding acting and writing IMO.
It’s television. Nothing real-life about it. A bunch of writers, actors, and crew. What do you have such an affinity for pop-culture? Sheeple? We make fun of sheeple. Sheeple are stupid and run around by hollywierd. You keep posting this crap about a TV show as though it is real-life.
Its quite simply a classic story told through a modern lens.
Everything King Midas touched turned to gold but the cost was dire.
Don't you get tired of spewing faggoty nonsense?
Or is it you natural state of being?
Yeah, you missed the greatest show since “The Shield,” which, BTW, I’m surprised the author didn’t mention, because it too built to an unflinching conclusion.
Tuco’s cousins..real explosion, no green screen, and the Cousins very close to the explosion

I saw Sophie’s Choice one time.
I can never watch it again.
Phenomenal show. I’m surprised, though, the author totally ignored “The Shield” which I think still remains the greatest series ever made. And “Sons of Anarchy” is pretty close.
>> My opinions of the characters changes as the series progresses.
Same thing with The Walking Dead and Sons of Anarchy.
Actually the last two are practically nonexistent in the show, but go ahead and make your judgments based on zero knowledge. You seem very comfortable doing it.
Indeed.
A timeless archetypal tale.
I did not know that.
For the record, I knew Jax was a creep from day 1 and that someday, he would out-Clay Clay.
The day he turns Tig over to Pope’s minions, I’ll have no more reason to watch.
I’ve seen Hamlet done to death, already.
