Just started watching Breaking Bad that leaves people frothing at their mouths anytime it is mentioned, but it is boring as hell. Meth cooking teacher and the storyline just drags and drags on. If this is an attempt to character build then either the characters are rubbish as I am not bonding with anyone even though they show a climatic start at each episode.

Edit - Ep 6 Now that is what I'm talking about, finally some action

I didn't really enjoy season 1 of BB at all, like you I thought it was boring but I stuck with it and it gets absolutely fantastic from season 2 onwards. Well worth the grind of season 1 to get to the good stuff.

Just finished watching it all, I was contemplating buying it on BluRay and not watching it via an online streaming service but if it comes down cheap enough in the future I'll buy it just to have as a collection.

Anyway I'm glad I gave it a chance. I won't give any spoilers away or the story plot so if you haven't watching the seasons don't worry I won't give anything away.

The First Season up to the 6th episode I started to get bored to tears with but thankfully the storyline spiced up but then went a bit down again half way up-to Second season. However, after that it was brilliant and I can see the appeal of the show.

I would have loved if it finished at the end of Season 4 but I guess the producers had more to offer.

I did a Google search and saw that people wanted another season, I have no idea what they expect but the series lasted 5 years and imo should stay that way. Adding anything more would just ruin it and would end up like "Joey" a very unsuccessful spin-off.

Finished watching "Better call Saul" 10/10

Even though technically this is a spin-off series I would not describe this as a spin-off. It is the pre-equal to Breaking Bad and every bit as good as it, as it brings other character's backgrounds and story into play.

I expect Season 2 will probably introduce Tuco and see how Mike rose into power a bit more.

Started watching Izombie, think i'll give up though. It's not great.

Edit - stuck with it, it actually picks up half way through the series.

Just started watching Blindspot on Sky Living, so far so good.

On episode 3 of The Frankenstein Chronicles, but not sure if I'll stick with it for much longer as it doesn't feel like its going anywhere.

On series 1 episode 20 of Fringe....why didn't I watch this when it first came out?
