Revealing mistake: At the end of the episode when Tuco shows up at Walter's house in the backseat of Jesse's car, he tells Walter to get in. As they drive off, the shot pans out to show the street sign across from Walter's house. The sign says Piermont, which is the real name of the street. In the show, the Whites live on Negra Arroyo Lane. (00:48:00)

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.

Jesse Pinkman: Bitch!
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.
Question: Just how does Walt intend to explain the presence of all that meth money, even posthumously? Just how does he think his heirs will react to that, how is he going to launder it? How does he think his wife and kids will explain it? If they knowingly inherit and use such money, they could face charges of accessory after the fact. Is this ever addressed in the show?
Chosen answer: I'm not sure how far you are into the show but he does eventually come up with a way to launder it (wont spoil it for you but rest assured, when he gets a lawyer the show gets much better!) and in the final season he also comes up with a way to give his children his money without the cops or the DA knowing it came from him.
