This seems like a wonderful change of role for Cranston as I always pictured him as loopy Hal from Malcolm!

The AMC show is actually pretty good and stars the dad from Malcolm in the Middle. Its pretty much like Weeds.

Christian wrote: This seems like a wonderful change of role for Cranston as I always pictured him as loopy Hal from Malcolm! yeah I always felt that Cranston has always been overlooked on the show. Breaking Bad pretty much is his vehicle instead of having a supporting role and more dramatic at that. I did like the concept of the show since it also reminds me of Schumacer's Falling Down. A Science teacher teaking out a possee of drug peddlers by trapping them in a RV with phosphate

I started this last night. Watched the first two episodes. Great dialogue. I'm loving it so far. Aaron Paul is perfect in this role. Cranston is awesome. Will watch the rest as soon as I can.

Is there explicit content? I only ask because I'm watching it on a Chinese media player, and they have a tendency to cut sex and explicit violence. The first two episodes, while really good, weren't explicit, and I get the feeling they really could have been. So just wondering.

Violence yes, sometimes very. Sex, none.

Post subject:	Re: Breaking Bad
That's good then. Violence is less cut than sex, so all might be good.

At latest in the final episodes of season 4 you'll find out how much violence is cut or not.

Oh, Better Call Saul is a spin-off from Breaking Bad? I didn't know that. The only exposure I have to someone called Saul was on Homeland, though of course I never thought it was related to that. I just thought it was a standalone show. I'll also never watch it. Well, unless I really begin to LOVE Breaking Bad and this Saul character (which I've not yet met).

I'm four episodes in and it's really, really good. I'm not getting "best tv show ever" vibes, but it's still addictive and I just want to binge it all (it really is the best way to watch TV). Hank Schrader is probably the most watchable character in it. Fucking hilarious. But Walter is the best, and obviously Hank would be too annoying if it was just him for 50 minutes. Walter is a much better anchor. I'm at the stage where Walter just tampered with some dickhead's BMW convertible and it set alight.

I guess at the moment, while great, it just feels less preciously made. It doesn't have the finesse of a TV series such as True Detective, and because of that it doesn't feel remotely like it could ever challenge for best show ever status. I don't know, perhaps later seasons get more money pumped into it. Plus, the music is nothing special at all. It's almost stock music level.

Also, I think the earlier seasons look much better in retrospect when the later seasons make you realize how perfectly it was all set up and laid out from the very beginning.
