This is a show I started watching around January or February of this year. I had heard about it so many times on the internet and because of being such an iconic show. I knew slightly what it was about. Old guy cooks meth with some younger guy and lives a double life. Thats about all I knew before watching it. It wasn’t until I started watching it that I found out that it’s so much more than that.
It starts off introducing the main character and his life. He lives a normal life with his family. But, due to a shortage on money, he takes up the mantle of the best meth cook past the border of Mexico. He does this job with an old student of his that went down a very bad path in life. The show if full of suspense and thrilling missions and always kept me on the edge of the seat. It was really fast paced for the first two seasons. I was hooked to the show. I could not stop watching because I had to know what was going to happen next. It seemed really realistic and well written.
Near the end of season three, the show does slow down a lot and takes a little bit to pick up again. This is the moment where I find that many people lose interest in the show and abandon it for a while. That is something that I did too. Eventually, I went back to the show to finish it. I didn’t have much left, so I finished it up pretty fast. I am so glad I made that decision, because now I can call that show one of my favorite shows of all time.
The last two seasons do pick up the pace again and really help you see how twisted the characters have become and how much better some have become since the beginning of the show. The ending was really unique, sad, and amazing all at the same time. I felt like that was a very appropriate ending to the show. Some may be upset by it, but I feel as if it really made sense for how the story went.
I really enjoyed watching this and I definitely will be getting into the spin-off shows shortly. I recommend this show to anybody who hasn’t watched it yet. It may seem like a basic recommendation, but there is a reason people always recommend it.
I haven’t seen Breaking Bad yet, but everyone around me has recommended it. I think this blog might have finally convinced me to start watching the show.
All I know from breaking bad is the ungodly number of memes attached to it. Can’t say I could finish the show, but it does seem interesting to watch.
