    Re: Breaking Bad

    I'm pretty sure there would be a fair amount of enthusiasts from this show being inspired.

        Re: Breaking Bad

        Just finished season 4. Besides couple of "holes" in the plot, its a solid show, actually its amazing.. My main issue is that the connection/friendship between Walt and Jessie is presented as too weak for it to sustain the pressure they had to go trough. Otherwise the character development was top notch.. writing is good.. again for a TV show, this is very well done.

        Thanks for the recommendation!

          I kinda think of Walt and Jessie as a very complex father-and-son/business-partners relationship that might be weak on the surface and in the situations they're thrown into, but also surprisingly strong, which makes the show.

            Re: Breaking Bad

            It's an interesting relationship. Walt couldn't have succeed without Pinkman and vice-versa on Walt's winning formula. It's pretty clever when you think about it. They only show them together mainly when they're cooking. I think it's good on the way that they show this, as it leaves you in greater anticipation; having Walt's wife find out about Walt sneaking off to cook, in the earlier seasons always leaves you on the edge of your seats.

              That is a big part of it.. once they showed that Pinkman can do it without Walt, i started to question the extend to their friendship. I kept thinking about the fact that Pinkman was Walt's student once..and the history is keeping them together. Also, Walt's intervation after the kid got killed, that showed Pinkman that Walt actually cares, but then again.. its Walt, one can never be clear on what exactly is his end goal when he does something

              Surprisingly strong is exactly it, it never "Feels" like it, but it actually is, and the reason is not really clear, at least for me.
              Either way.. this is a really good show. I've recommended it to several friends already..

                Just finished season 4, I thought it ended quite well, don't see the point in series 5 TBH. Strange how it was not that big in the UK, it was more of underground hit. The people that watched it in the UK watched it on the Internet.

                  Yeah I hope they end the series properly now that they're continuing with S5.

                    ^tend to agree with both you guys I could have ended it last season and left it on a high note

                      I hope they have the whole setup gets even crazier this season and maybe the shit hits the fan and they kill one or both of them off...

                        When you think about it there's no other way to end it. Either gets killed/caught.

                          Re: Breaking Bad

                          Yup. With the writing the past 4 seasons pretty much being the 2nd best show I've ever seen on TV (only to The Wire), I bet (hope) Vince Gilligan will do something like this and not have it do some bullshit happy ending. If they kill off characters or have something crazy happen that would be a great end to the run.

                            No way possible for it to have a Desperate Housewives like ending.

                            Here's an UK equivalent you guys might like:



                            Top Boy is a British television drama series, which was first broadcast on Channel 4. The four episodes were broadcast over consecutive nights, from 31 October to 3 November 2011. Set on the fictional Summerhouse housing estate in Hackney, North London, the series follows the lives of a group of criminals involved in drug dealing and street gangs.
