I started watching this two days ago, and...holy ****, this show is awesome. I finished watching Season 1 yesterday, and from what I've heard the series just keeps getting better, so I'll be looking forward to watching new episodes.
Basic rundown: High school Chemistry teacher Walter White (Bryan Cranston), who discovers he has lung cancer, decides to partner up with one of his former students Jesse Pinkman (Aaron Paul) and enters the criminal world of drugs and clandestine businesses. In the hopes of securing his family's financial future after he passes away, White and Pinkman devise a plan: White will create and prepare the methamphetamine, as he knows the chemistry behind it, while Pinkman, familiarized with the criminal world, will sell it.
This is probably my new favorite show right now. The acting is superb, and the writing is done extremely well. One of the best shows on television right now, by far.

SPICED DRUGS MAN. THIS SHOWS THE DOEP.
THE CREED: Nothing is True. Everything is Permitted.
"...That's rather cynical."
"It would be if it were doctrine, but it is merely an observation of the nature of reality.
To say that Nothing is True is to realize that the foundations of society are fragile, and that we must be the shephards of our own civilization.
To say that Everything is Permitted is to understand that we are the architects of our actions, and that we must live with the consequences, whether glorious...or tragic."

Anna Gunn is really pissing me off right now.
"OH, you paid your medical bills and saved us from a financial crisis but won't tell me everything you do with your time? FAAAGRHA YOU TERRIBLRE PERSON." And then she goes and smokes even though she's a few days from giving labor.

I think I am long overdue to say that this is easily one of the best television shows on all time. I know I said the same thing in the original post, but I had made that comment only after watching the first season.
To say this show is awesome is putting it lightly. I've watched all four seasons available on Netflix and I don't regret a single moment of it. I know topics like Anime and MLP are prevalent on this forum, and everything else is a tossup. But I implore you guys to give it a chance if you're in to incredible acting, writing, symbolism and those kinds of things. It's a great show when you start watching it, but by the end, it is truly something amazing.
The fourth season finale in particular has one of the most incredible death scenes in TV history.
I don't know if I'm going anywhere with this. I doubt most people here will bother to even glance at this show (as is apparently the case already, aside from Ridder), but having watched it myself, I can't help but to strongly recommend other folks to watch it as well.
I almost never visit these forums anymore, so when I come back for something like this, you know I'm serious.

Bump. I just watched episode one a few days ago and it's pretty great.

Karyete: I don't have anything to say to you, I've been deliberately trying to not offend you for years, actually, but apparently everything I say to you is wrong. You come across as so aggressive that you successfully intimidated me into not wanting to talk to you
Karyete: Seriously, what is your problem? And not only that, you fail to even acknowledge you might be in some wrong here.
Karyete: Oooh it's you? Hello. Feel free to drop this right now. You're going to make yourself look like an idiot.
Karyete: We don't want to hear your opinion at this stage.
Karyete: You're not getting any apology, especially after now.
Karyete: You can stay up on your high horse, continue to twist the truth and act like an absolute child all you want. I refuse to give respect to a man who right now is picking up a dropped argument because he simply cannot fathom the idea that he might be in the wrong.
Karyete: How pathetic

Season one is easily BB's worst, but it's still pretty darn good. Especially towards the end.

Just finished watching all the episodes a second time. Get on my level. (I did it cause I wanted my mom to enjoy the show too and it worked.)
Can't wait. :3
