I remember struggling for motivation through season 1, the whole NM setting didn't appeal to me either.  I just want to get through it as soon as I can as it takes up too much time, but now at this stage I wish I could be in that world forever and don't want it to end.

I just watched the first two episodes a few weeks ago and found it hard enough going. The last episode there was an hour of two fellas ringing each other asking if they'd killed some Mexican fella. A bit boring to be honest. Is it worth going on with? Don't see the fuss so far.

Who's a bit of a moaning Michael tonight!

First two episodes of Season 1? Keep going, well worth it.

If you meant the first 2 episodes of Season 4, and you are not into it at this stage, probably not gonna happen for you.

I went into watching it knowing that season 1 was meant to be pretty poor and to be honest it was.  But I was placing faith on it simply being a foundation setter and in hindsight it was and season 2 on is amazing.

I have given up round the start of season 3. Its ok but nothing to write home about in my opinion.
I think my expectations were too high with everyone telling me it was best show ever on tv.

Give me wentworth any day.

Also watching that one of James Nesbitts at the minute on BBC1 The Missing. Great show imo.

What I would recommend is telling people you think Breaking Bad is shite (even though you might not think that) to people you know love it.....sit back and enjoy the anger levels.

Agree about the missing. Fantastic show so far. Really looking forward to tonight's show. i was about to give up on breaking bad after season 2 also but have persevered and have just finished season 3 which I enjoyed. Having said that I don't think it's the great show everyone makes it out to be. Not a patch on The Wire which is the benchmark for me.

Nah it keeps improving year on year with seasons 5 & 6 probably the finest seasons of TV ever made. I watched the first 2 seasons and left it as I thought it wasn't anything special. I'm glad I went back to it though as it ended up being superb.

Seems to be the general consensus from most but the mayor seems abit obvious and the show 'seems' slightly cleverer than that. A second series has been commissioned although the director has said he thinks the series has a proper ending and not a cliffhanger !?

Anybody watch Luther? Idris Elba is good in it and Ruth Wilson plays a very good physco.
