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.

I don't understand the concept of owning shows/movies. Palatine - 05/09/2011 03:33:27 PM 614 Views

I agree with you. Darth_Katie - 05/09/2011 04:18:21 PM 683 Views
Even if you're only going to watch a show once, it's rather easier that way. Legolas - 05/09/2011 06:15:33 PM 661 Views
Some people like to watch shows multiple times. I am one of them. Dreaded Anomaly - 05/09/2011 07:40:43 PM 708 Views

I don't think you necessarily need to WAIT for the DVDs LadyLorraine - 06/09/2011 01:43:11 AM 584 Views

That is wierd because my viewing experienceswith those exact shows are almost identical to yours. Cannoli - 11/09/2011 08:53:29 PM 715 Views
Netflix serves the same purpose, as far as I'm concerned. Dannymac - 07/09/2011 09:48:44 PM 626 Views
I think there's precedent in the shift of filmed drama to an episodic format. Dan - 08/09/2011 02:57:57 PM 697 Views
