If it takes 30 Episodes to not be boring, it’s not a good show.

BB wasn’t bad though, I just was completely unable to connect with it.

I gave it up at season 2 when I first started watching.

Then I watched Better Call Saul years later and it was one of my all time favourites. Then I went back to Breaking Bad and liked it even better than Better Call Saul. Breaking Bad didn’t resonate with me initially and I’m so very glad I have it another chance.

The second season really became boring as fuck somewhere half through it. Totally missed the density and speed of the first season. I think the fact that they got a contract to produce three seasons made them stretch the plot to the point where basically nothing happened over certain episodes. Compare that with the speed in which the early plot moved…

Third season is where I gave up. First two were good but didn’t draw me in enough to slog through the absolute snooze fest of the third. I’ve never been interested in going back.

‘Severance’ must have like fifty seasons planned.

I’m crying inside 'cause I heard something along these lines in some random blog/post/idr. :c

I want it to end in a good place & at the right time before it grows a GoT season 8.

I can’t imagine they’ll try to go past 5, but I hope the next one is the last.

Though I’m a bit biased - IMO the last episode of season 2 was a perfect ending, and I’m completely satisfied.

Did you watch the movie el camino after bb? We just finished both for probably the 5th time, will watch bcs again this summer.

I haven’t. Thats for the recommendation. I’ve added it to my watchlist.

It’s not a great movie, but it wraps up Jessie’s story pretty well. I liked it. Solid 7 in the BB universe.

I’m completely up for watching average media. When did we become too good for average? 5/10 is enough for me to give something a shot. Maybe even 4/10 if someone tells me it had some nugget of value.

Oh, I watch “avg” shit all the time. Anaconda only got a 4 on imdb, that shit was amazing. I don’t trust the numbers always. And siskel and ebert rated tommy boy the worst movie they’ve ever seen. Lmao. They can’t be trusted with reviews.

Somewhat similar experience for me: I tried watching Twin Peaks in the late 00s, couldn’t get over the hammy melodrama of the first few episodes, abandoned it.

Fast forward to five years later, watch Fire Walk With Me, loved it. Revisited Twin Peaks and completely devoured it.

Sometimes coming back to something after you’ve grown/changed as a person can be nice.

Alternately, there’s a lot of stuff I thought was genius in my 20s that is absolute crap.
