Breaking Bad! ironclad Send a noteboard - 07/09/2011 10:09:14 PM
Finally! I can't believe not more people around here watch this, when it's soo brilliant!

I've recently been watching Breaking Bad, and this is one where I can make a comparison. I watched everything prior to this current season via completed season sets, and thought it was great. This season I've been watching each episode as it comes out, and I haven't noticed a dip in quality. The story carries a sort of inexorable, slow species of momentum that seems to work just as well in a weekly format as it does in a DVD set format. It probably also helps that it's a hell of a high quality show. I don't mind watching it week by week. But I believe a DVD set viewing would probably be a purer way to see the show.

Totally see what you mean. I watched the first two seasons on TV earlier this year but they always showed two episodes in a row. Third I watched as set on my own terms, that was awesome. Now, waiting each week is a killer. The show literally enjoys its slowness at times, but it's still among the best things on TV right now.

You mustn't be afraid to dream a little bigger, darling.
