Breaking Bad
I just watched the final episode. Good show.
Can you guys recommend something similar to this? I especially liked how every single person in that show, without exception, was an asshole. Although the "crime doesn't pay" ending was a little disappointing, but that's just Hollywood not having the balls for a "crime does pay big time" ending.

1. "Good" is not even remotely the correct word.RealNC wrote:I just watched the final episode. Good show.

2. How do you figure it was a "crime doesn't pay" ending? He died happy, with his one true love by his side, having truly lived for the first time in his 52 years.
3. Hollywood had absolutely nothing to do with the show.

Yeah, it was a happy ending. He managed to kill the bad guys and poison the woman, because "the criminals have to die."pinback wrote:2. How do you figure it was a "crime doesn't pay" ending? He died happy, with his one true love by his side, having truly lived for the first time in his 52 years.
Of course people want such an ending, but I prefer "fuck you" endings, where we don't get what we want.

It is absolutely too late for you, but I envy you because you have so much good watching left!ChainGangGuy wrote:I haven't seen Breaking Bad. Is it too late for me?
This also reminds me that they started Better Call Saul again. ChainGangGuy, ignore that discussion u--
Do you need the discs? The shows? How can we make it so you spend your time doing nothing but watching Breaking Bad here?

What's the best way to proceed? Should I just ease into one episode and take it from there or do I need to really hunker down and fight through a few episodes to really get hooked?Ice Cream Jonsey wrote:Do you need the discs?
