"In the mean time it's time for a breaking bad marathon. And yes, the bourbon has been flowing all day."
"After months of "going with the flow" and laughing along to people talking about sports or K-pop or breaking bad or pop music or whatever surface level cultural event we all have talked to death, I finally met someone interesting."
"What other media is like this? 2008-2012 feels like it's own little niche in time it's the only show I can think of where you watch it and you're like "yeah this is definitely 2010.""
"The prestige TV model only works if the show actually merits it (Sopranos, Wire, Breaking Bad, BCS)"
"Like scrolling down Twitter and it's some clip from breaking bad with the post saying this was all unplanned, but the actor went off and everyone on set was speechless so they used this take. I see that story about 20 times a day about different tv and movie scenes where it's just completely made up"
"when they were airing i felt differently, but BB feels really dated now imo."
"I'll give a slight nod to 'Kim Wexler becomes the hooker in Breaking Bad' that was semi-popular for a while too, just made absolutely no sense."
"Breaking bad - Smartest chemist but settled on being a hs teacher Probably more examples, idk I've been watching suits with my roommates and it's got to be one of the stupidest shows of all time"
"For some it might not make sense comparing these two but in my opinion The Sopranos and Breaking Bad share a lot of similarities both culturally and mood wise. Plus these are both hard willed women married to unstable men with high ranking positions in organized crime."
"same goes for bb, it's like a fucking epic greek poem but set in a mundane suburb where people use cell phones and shit. its so cool. and there isnt a reference every five minutes either."
"It's very important as a woman that the men in your life sympathise with Skylar White more than Walt"
"Already just rewatched sopranos, veep, the wire, breaking bad, mad men and deadwood"
"Every scene in Breaking Bad that isnt Walt doing evil things is hampered by the fact that his family is written very two dimensional. It means that the themes of the work that Walter is throwing away a life of people who love him but he finds to be a burden not work as well when they don't feel at a"
"I get The Walking Dead show came out around then but Game of Thrones and Breaking Bad had way more cultural capital. What was the underlying anxiety or trauma of that slice?"
"It definitely wasn't better than Breaking Bad, certainly not one of the best TV shows ever, I liked basically every part of it but I really don't see the massive levels of appeal it seems to generate for people."
"Despite being an autistic nerd Walter White feels like he was written for the specific purpose of inspiring as many chad memes and sigma edits as possible, what a ridiculous character."
"Theres a master chemist cooking souped up meth in Albuquerque? Damn, my brother in law is a master chemist in Albuquerque. Chemistry equipment from the science department at the local high school was found at a crime scene? Damn, my brother in law works in the science department of the local high sc"
"Makes Breaking Bad look like such trash (overrated anyway imo)."
"Something like The Sopranos, Mad Men, Bojack Horseman, The Wire, Breaking Bad and Better Call Saul (even if I'm not the biggest fan of those last two)."
"Even when a show is generally good, people forget about all the plot lines that go nowhere, all the botched attempts at humor (especially in breaking bad), all the time the writers spend treading water without advancing the story."
"Breaking Bad never had me feeling this way. I never felt this attached to the characters in that show. They never felt real, I guess. The irony is that despite playing a complete caricature, Bob Odenkirk succeeded in making him feel more real than the supposedly relatable high school chemistry teach"
"holy shit, i'm literally reenacting breaking bad. i know what meth is because i watched breaking bad, so its not a huge stretch to start snorting it."
"Basically the whole Skyler/Breaking Bad debate again."
"It initially mirrors American Beauty with the whole lobotomite suburban dad who reclaims his vitality through controversial means"
"all the botched attempts at humor (especially in breaking bad)"
"Basically the whole Skyler/Breaking Bad debate again."
"I started smoking weed again to ease the pressure of my job and decided to finally get around to Breaking Bad. It was great fun! Sometimes got too ugly for its own good."
