I've been watching from the beginning. great show. like Adam said, pretty sure there's a thread about this show already.

Best show on TV since the Sopranos. Granted, I only have basic cable and watched all the episodes of Sopranos on DVD.

As stated above by yeahwho, cinematography is amazing, and I always have this feeling like this could actually happen to somebody..

EDIT: sorta a sopranos spoiler

Think it'll end like the sopranos?

Walt: "Jesse, with a little tweak this blue meth can be used to cure cancer. It might kill the test patient so I'm going to have to try it on myself"
Jesse: "Mr White, I don't think that is such a bitchin' idea..."

Hey, I just finished watching the entire series of The Wire and my god that was totally better than the sopranos, it was the best TV series I have ever seen.

How does BB stack up against the wire?? Similar with the world surrounding the drug culture, or am I way off?

The Wire is the best TV series I've ever seen too. I remember watching the first episode thinking to myself why should I care anything about the denizens of inner city Baltimore housing projects?

Within two months I finished all 5 seasons of the Wire completely immersed.

Breaking Bad doesn't have quite the same level of all encompassing social commentary, but it is just as addictive in another way and I started out watching it with an identical question to myself, why should I care anything about the motives and reasons of the crystal meth culture?

Because it's the places I don't go that usually effect me much more than I readily understand.

Breaking Bad is not quite as believable as the Wire but equal, maybe even more intense than the Wire.

breaking bad is much more of a story about the characters and the consequences of their actions than about drug or inner city culture, i feel...still amazing, just different

one thing i keep thinking about re: breaking bad (and i feel like i've typed this before, probably in that other breaking bad thread we keep alluding to) is that pretty much every bad thing that happens to walt and his family in the show stems from his decision to shoot down his (ex-)friends' charity when they offered to pay for his chemo.

they were like "we'll pay for it, no questions ask" and walt said basically "fuck you backstabbing jerks, i'm too proud for your money, i'm gonna sell drugs and lie to my family"

and then everything else happens. walt is kind of a cunt, really

but cunts make such interesting protagonists sometimes

Wow I was the same way, I was completely obsessed with it. The wire was just so intriguing. Refreshing new story arcs every season kept it fresh too.

Oh my god that is so fucking hilarious. As John C Reily said in step brothers to Will Ferrell "last time I laughed that hard I almost fell off my dinosaur".
