Bluemoon's Official Top 100 TV Shows

What point was that btw? just out of curiosity?

Good question! Think it was the end of season 4 maybe, I’d need to check. I just remember thinking at the time, there wasn’t any facet of Walters character in particular that made me interested in how his story ended, there was something he did that I thought went too far that it went past the point of me thinking the characters arc was remotely believable, it was too much of a descent.

Leaving the girl to die on bed ?
 
it's a head scratcher isn't it, how can you give up on BB, surely intrigued to see where it goes.

It confuses me, and yet i can half understand it at the same time.

It gets so intense at times, and i found times i felt 'i don't want to see where this ends because i don't like where it is going' in terms of chatacter ark. Not in a losing interest sense, more that it is so involving that you fear for them.

Particularly the final season, i felt a bit of a filler, as the main arcs had rounded off by the end of S4, and it felt a bit too late to the party with some of the final developments. But needed it for the finish i guess. Plus, they were dealing with the writers strikes at the time, and halts in production to then rush the end to deadlines
 
I loved the first few seasons btw, it just went too far for me and there wasn’t a counterbalance that I cared about enough either.

I can understand that I think. But it IS after all called Breaking bad.

Like many recent top dramas, you go through spells of loving and hating the characters at different times, and admiring and pitying them. Wishing their demise or maybe a redemption/victory. And then finding ways to 'understand' them. It isn't linnear, and that was the 'groundbreaking' element of it, although The Shield broke that ground years ago, and better imho.

I think the end of season 4 has that, by that point the big built up crash happens, and s5 is realluly about where the peices land and the fallout. Which, loses the interest after such an intense ride.

Yes I preferred the Shield. I think that worked better because I cared more about the auxiliary characters too.
