I watched this series, first time on Netflix, second time on Amazon Prime.

I had heard for years how amazing this show was. How it was one of the best shows ever put on TV, many saying it IS the best one ever. People had been gassing it up for years, but I never had a way of checking it out myself.

Well finally, about a year or two ago, I finally sat down and watched it on Netflix. And well... it absolutely lived up to the hype. I watched it all the way through... TWICE. Once by myself, and then I watched it again with my dad. We also watched the prequel, Better Call Saul.
This show is amazing, with a believable character arch of Walter White's slow decent from a decent man to a villain.

There's not much I can say about the show that hasn't been said by countless others already. Just I'm glad I finally got around to it, and loved it so much I watched it all the way through twice.


Mistake Status: Ha, I highly doubt I'll ever tackle this show for mistakes. There's many other projects I'd rather do. I do love this show, but it doesn't interest me mistake wise. Who knows, may change my mind at some point.

I recently finished this show in its entirety for the first time. A perfect show. Great from start to end. What was so watchable about this show is that there is very little padding or filler. Many shows, even great ones, will sometimes feel like they have subplots or episodes that are there for the sake of filler, but not here. All of it feels justified and adds to the overall story. A lot of shows will tend to lose track of what made the earlier seasons beloved towards the end, but this show manages to find fresh and exciting new ways of keeping the story engaging and is one of the few shows that improves itself with each subsequent season. Each character is memorable, fully defined and has something to offer. The narrative and character arcs across the five seasons are executed phenomenally, and the last few episodes are some of the most satisfying payoffs I've ever seen in a TV show.

Casual Person

One of the best television shows ever. Great character development and performances all around, and the show managed to get its main characters out of tense situations without ever feeling contrived.

Not a bad episode. Gripping from start to finish

Pilot - S1-E1

Visible crew/equipment: At the very end of the episode, right after he tells Jesse how he used the red phosphorus to kill the gunmen, Walt leans down to vomit. You can see his microphone transmitter under his shirt. (00:54:20)

Trivia: There is a scene in this episode where Walter angrily tosses a box of pizza in the air in such a way that the pizza exits the box and lands on his roof. Before filming this scene, the crew had wondered how many takes would be required to achieve the desired result. Bryan Cranston nailed it on the first try.

Caballo sin Nombre - S3-E2

Question: When Saul buys Jesse's house from his parents, he said that he showed their lawyer, Mr. Gardner, "all the pertinent financials", meaning $875,000 in cash available to buy the house. Jesse only had $450,000 and that money was not in any account. How did Saul show Mr. Gardner that he had $875,000 in cash?

Answer: Saul is a criminal himself. It's not past his capabilities to forge some documents to show the 857k is available.

Ssiscool

Forged documents by Saul is most likely the correct answer.

The_Iceman

Answer: Saul has a stash of cash himself, hidden in his office. It's possible he used some of that instead as part of the scheme instead of having to go through the effort of falsifying documents.

Phaneron

Answer: In all likelihood, he sold some more meth.

Captain Defenestrator

At the time, they were not producing enough Meth to get that much money in the time frame of the events.
