    I hated how it was every episode was based on a specific person. I wish they would have intertwined with each other more

    i def agree that it s----d how severed the storylines were, but i thought it was probably the most detailed season from a storytelling aspect, and it has great rewatch value. idk though becuase i would take new arrested development in any form

    Yes! I totally agree with being satisfied at getting another season. I just hope that if they do decide to make another season that they get all the actors scheduling conflicts worked out because I want to see them all together more opposed to seeing 1 episode revolve around a character

    Better Call Saul. I'm not sure if it had a prime, but it's definitely somewhere in the past at this point.

    Season 5 was awful and a complete mess m8, the nazis all of a sudden becoming the antagonist was an asspul same for that gta tier writing with the machine gun in the trunk. S4 also stretched the Gus plotline for all it's worth. The first two seasons are impeccable though.

    Kept watching HBO's Oz past it's expiration date. Middling, and largely Great for 4 seasons, fell off hard after that.

    I disagree and I think basically everyone would disagree with Breaking Bad's Season 5 being a bad season, they ended that show at the perfect time. 5 Seasons is the optimal Series length frankly. I also think Gus was great and had a pretty entertaining arch.

    Ok

    You don't think that the sudden shift
    of switching Hank out for the Nazis as antagonist wasn't last minute writing? And plz spare me the reddit tier, jack had the same sweatshirt that hank was wearing in season 2 so it was foreshadowed bs. Same for that feel good cheap ending of Walt pussying out and having to get his redemption? When the entire point of the show was to watch him become an ireedemable monster?

    nah man he never got redemption -- i understand ur pov and ur reasoning too, but you're misinterpreting the final arc. they pitted walt against an almost cartoonishly evil force they could think of (evil nazi motorcycle skwad) but all it did was highlight walts on descent. even by the end he had no concern for anyone else's life but his own/his families. he still was obsessed w the idea of legacy and leaving his worth behind for his family. etc etc

    i think you took it the wrong way man tbh

    i also said "not rn" cuz slime season 3 is about to drop and i can talk about bb for days just not when im in thugger mode

    I def think he got redemption, or at least the closest thing to it without making it absolutely stupid like him going to jail and his son and family forgive him and all that. He got redemption in the sense that
    Avenged Hank's death, freed Jesse for one last time putting them on equal terms that neither owe each other anything, and admitted to Skyler how he did this all for himself and he was merely having a mid life crisis, oh and bonus points for f---ing with his sleazy former associates and blackmailing them, & he even got to die on his own terms
    . Fargo did this right with Lester Nygaard, who's essentially a parody of these meekish good guy gone bad anti-heroes (or villains) by
    getting his comeuppance and dying as he lived like a weasel

    Da f--- how does this highlight walt's descent? If anything it makes him look saintly in comparison by pitting him against this cartoonishly evil force.

    He never did bruh, although my problem with walt was while they highlighted him following down the slippery slope, I never truly he felt got as monstrish as he should've and just when he was. He switched sides and went The Atoner mode.

    Really don't think I did
    Hank's been built up as the one to ultimately face off against Walt once he finds out, this couln't be more obvious, even since Season 1. A final showdown between the two was inevitable, it did happen but, was a letdown (though I blame that on BB having soap operaish elements near the end) and decided loll we'll shift the dynamics near the end and turn this irrelevant guy who gets jobs done for walt as the final villain
