I managed to catch up with Breaking Bad last week, I only started watching it 3 weeks ago....put some serious hours in, and my productivity at work has reduced due to this bloody show!
Was just wondering what time the new episode is available on Netflix?

Try this site mate, used to watch Jersey shore on there a few years ago, good site with loads of TV programs on and uploads straight after it's shown... www.ch131.so/

Breaking Bad is easily (and i'm talking heads and shoulders above anything else like The Soprano's or The Wire) the finest TV drama ever to air on any network. It simply works on a completely different level. The twists in the plot and the character development stretch the viewer beyond anything ever written for TV. After watching just 2 episodes I became totally hooked and rinsed through the first three series in a week! What a saddo. And i'm not even a TV guy! For anyone that's thinking about watching it, i'd say don't miss it, but absolutely start with series 1 episode 1 and view the whole thing in sequence to really get the full-on gob smacking Breaking Bad punch in the chops. There are a number of superb character performances in the show that are so brilliantly written and acted, they will just keep you coming back for more and more. This show will make you laugh, cry and also leave you numb. Sometimes all three emotions will inexplicably hit you all at the same time. It's a work of unparalleled genius.

Couldn't put it better myself. I got the first 4 series on DVD on my last visit to China, all my buddies here in Thailand are all now into it, me and the Missus watched a whole sries a day, and she can't even speak English ( Much ) I am up to the end of episode 8 series 5, trying to resist reading what has happened since, as I will wait for 9 to 16 to all come out together...

As Tone would say, "a top, top show". Saul is a brilliant character and it could be a great spin-off.

Episode 14 was possibly the best episode they've ever done, even better than the series 4 finale.

Not watched it yet, but I've just been doing a bit of Googling and I inadvertently read something significant about the episode. Breaking Bad makes Netflix amazing value for money, and if you don't already have it, you could watch the whole series for free and cancel your subscription.

The last episode is amazing and would have served as a brilliant finale but it wouldn't surprise me if the next two episodes are even better. It is quite simply the greatest television show ever created and will ever be created. It is an absolute crime it is not shown on any UK TV channel over the whole duration of the series.

Agree entirely matey except for The Soprano's bit which is,imho the best ever. But as you so eloquently put it,Breaking Bad is a fantastic series.

I think it's unfair to compare Breaking Bad with The Sopranos as they are vastly different in terms of scale. The Sopranos sustained an incredibly high standard of writing over a longer time frame with far more characters to deal with. Breaking Bad is like a mini series in comparison.
Breaking Bad is however unparalleled in its ability to leave you dumbfounded after an episode. Apart from the episode about the fly, it's never had a weak episode.

That was awsome. I genuinely have no idea how this is going to end. Plenty of theories but wont spoil it for anyone who hasn't got to that bit yet.
Love it.

Breaking Bad is however unparalleled in its ability to leave you dumbfounded after an episode. Apart from the episode about the fly, it's never had a weak episode. I don't agree with that Richie. After running for 6 years I can't see how you can describe Breaking Bad as a mini-series. I'll try and compare and describe the differences to The Soprano's as I see it. Breaking Bad is an absolute heat-seeking missile of a show in terms of its main story arc. It's tempo is far higher than The Soprano's or indeed anything else. Every episode pretty much climaxes on a genuine bombshell and often just leave me shaking my head in disbelief at what i'm watching. Whilst I agree that the The Soprano's set the benchmark for superb writing, there were way too many slow, often weak episodes. The show also lacked consistency and felt different from season to season. However, The Soprano's scores heavily with its more intelligent observations into human nature and the superb way it explored the issue of social morality. Plus I don't think there has ever been a better single character than Tony Soprano, only Walter White gets close to him. So taken on the whole The Soprano's attempts to be more cerebral and is possibly more detailed, but winds up being much less focussed than Breaking Bad's laser guided script. As you mentioned - just the one weak BB episode - The Fly. In terms of the storyline Breaking Bad has been relentlessly surging toward the conclusion which is unfolding right now. New storylines and sub-plots weave in and out whilst scenarios develop and unfold at breathtaking "blink and you miss it" pace. I remember The Soprano's storylines really tended to jump around quite a lot and the whole thing eventually fizzled out with a disappointing whimper in its final season. Breaking Bad is only just starting to hit its full potential after getting better each season. It will go out with an almighty bang. For character and plot development there really isn't anything that's as accomplished as Breaking Bad and the twisted dark, humorous ride that Walt/Jesse/Mike/Hank & Saul take the viewer on - in particular Walt's steady descent into the dark alter-ego of Heisenberg is remarkable. The plot developments can leave you gasping for air too. The cinematography on both shows is superb but I really think that the Albuquerque desert setting for Breaking Bad sets a new benchmark for TV. It just looks stunning. The number of people you speak to about Breaking Bad that say "i'm addicted" or "I watched the first three seasons in a week" is quite common too. BB has the uncanny ability to get right under your skin and into your head. It entertains like nothing else i've ever seen. Don't get me wrong I really liked The Soprano's and I reckon it's possibly the third best TV show ever. Second best? Deadwood. But for my money there is nothing on the telly that gets remotely close to Breaking Bad. It's a work of genius! Sorry Soprano's fans!

Good reply ************** and I agree with almost every word of it.
The point I was making was one of scale and depth, not focus. By the time Breaking Bad ends, 46 hours worth of viewing will have been created compared to the 83 hours of The Sopranos. I don't want to choose one over the other, as the choice reminds me of picking my favourite son.
Breaking Bad could not and should not be stretched to 83 hours and The Sopranos would have been shallower if it had been shrunk to 46.
Just in case there is any doubt, Breaking Bad is awesome and I'm amazed that each episode in this series manages to surpass the previous one.
On another note, if anyone is watching on Netfix, and they like a bit of politics, then start watching House of Cards.

So what are everyone's theories on next week's finale?
We've already seen the flashforward where Walt buys a machine gun, and we've seen him go to the house to get the ricin.
I've no idea how it's all going to unfold, it looks like he's going to take on Todd and his uncle's crew....which means he will no doubt discover & presumably inadvertently rescue Jesse (who I presume Walt thinks is dead). There has to be a final showdown between Walt & Jesse, and I can see one of them being finished off by the infamous Ricin capsule.
One things for sure, it's going to crazy and it wouldn't surprise me at all if not many of them are left alive at the end of it.

Is the last episode an extended one ?
I'm gutted its coming to an end, as I have not been gripped by a TV show like this before. Whilst waiting for the final episodes, I watched the entire series so far of Walking Dead, I was expecting this to be shit, but I also got well into it, nothing like BB, but found it very good all the same.
The above are the only two American TV series watched to date, what would you suggest I download next to fill the void left by BB ?
Thanks in advance

The Walking Dead is excellent mate.
There's only one other thing that comes close to BB and that's The Wire.....download it, and I promise you won't be disappointed.

Seen loads of these series and breaking bad is definitely my favourite. Prison Break is not far behind. Would also highly recommend the first series of Rectify
