Breaking Bad

Breaking Bad at it's best is better than anything else, but it wasn't at that level for the whole run. For me it was a bit slow to get going - not in the sense of not enough action as the character development was essential and compelling, just not as compelling as it was from the second half of Series 2 onwards - whereas The Sopranos was consistently great right from the start to the end (f**k anyone who says the last series wasn't as good). It's more Zlatan than Messi - absolutely brilliant when at it's best, but not producing the best nearly as consistently as the greatest of all time. I still haven't watched The Wire so can't comment there.

Sopranos > West Wing > Breaking Bad > Twin Peaks > all other manner of shite

Just finished this last night.  f**k me what a show.  Bryan Cranston and Giancarlo Esposito were phenomenal.  Jonathan Banks was tremendous also, can't wait to start Better Call Saul now for more of Mike.

Got myself a Chromecast with Netflix, as I don't have any cable etc channels, and watched the lot in three weeks (correct - I don't have much of a life).  Superb show and didn't really dip very often at all; always fairly edgy.  Good that it had a pretty decent ending, as opposed to the series that don't tie up many of the threads.  Will watch again!

Yep, think I got through in it 3 weeks.  The acting was stupendous throughout.  I'm firing through Better Call Saul now.  Onto series 2 and it's bubbling away nicely.
