Breaking Bad is another show on a long list of shows I have yet to see. That all changed the other night when I saw the first two eps of the series at my BFF's house.
I have mixed feelings about the show. I mean, it's funny and interesting and I want to know what happens next, but it's also at times gross and off putting with the violence. And I say that as someone who can find the funny in violence in cinema and film, but it's usually of the unrealistic variety (zombies, vampires, and werewolves--oh my!), or at the very least, be cool with viewing it. Devotees will recall what happens in the first few eps when the need to dispose of a body arises and...yeah.
That being said, I have every intention of watching the rest of the eps, and probably seeing this through to the finale. Also, whenever I see Walt walking around in his underwear, I can't not think of Hal from
Malcolm in the Middle, and then wonder what Hal would do if he had cancer with a ticking clock.
In short, the show is riveting!
Other shows I plan to marathon watch (cause I haven't seen them):
The Walking Dead
True Blood
The Wire (which I'm also wary of cause of the violence, as well as these next two--)
Oz
Sopranos
Breaking Bad is one of my all time favorite shows since I caught up with all the episodes about a year ago. The Walking Dead is great too, but if you really want to be blown away, check out the comics issues 1-60. Stop after that, because you'll just get pissed off.
ReplyDeleteLol, I'll try to check out the comics. Should I read those first, or watch the show first?
