Breaking Bad

[Harry Vest]

Am I missing something or is there not a thread on Breaking Bad??? Maybe I missed it but I dug pretty deep in the thread department. I saw the season 2 finale last night - holy shit. This is fast becoming my favorite show on the air right now. Anyone else?

I'm glad you posted this - I watched the first season on DVD earlier this year and kept getting lazy to see if a new season had started. Guess I'm waiting for DVDs for season 2!

I've been hearing such good things about it for a while now. And with Mad Men done until late August, there's a TV drama shaped hole in my life. Maybe I'll try this out.

It took me a few episodes to really get into it, but it's definitely worth checking out.

Good to know. A buddy of mine is halfway through the first season right now and really loves it. Getting into this seems a lot less daunting that my plan to get into The Wire or finally finish The Sopranos. So maybe, just maybe, it's Netflix time.
