Any day now I'll start watching Breaking Bad

    I tried.

    But... nothing happens.

    Hours go by to nothing happen.

    It was too slow for my taste

    Start with "Slippin' Jimmy' ;), then watch BB, then El Camino, then Better Call Saul.

    Rinse & repeat.

    Hard disagree. BCS is nothing like BB. I loved Breaking Bad, hated Better Call Saul. I couldn't even force myself to watch the final season.

    Most people that I have talked to prefer Better Call Saul, because Breaking Bad has the stigma of a terrible drug hanging over the premise. It's harder for Joe Everyperson to watch Breaking Bad because it feels dirty. BCS has a more familiar swindly feeling because that's who Saul is and Saul represents a lot of people. But so does Walter.

    They're both great companion series, my point was to make sure anyone reading this would watch Saul after breaking bad. It doesn't work the other way. Watch it as it was released. Hell, they overlapped at the end (iirc)

    I’m on board here. Didn’t hate hate BCS, but if you’re gonna get into the style of Vince Gilligan, you need to start with breaking bad before you get into better call Saul, because it’s extremely heavy and takes a bit of patience to get through.

    Plus, even though BCS is a prequel, there’s a lot of references to breaking bad, so you should watch breaking bad first.

    I've watched it quite recently. It lives up to the hype. But don't bother with Better Call Saul. It's nothing like Breaking Bad. I've found it boring and annoying.

    Before you get downvoted into oblivion for desecrating a great show, would you like to take a moment to tell the audience what your favorite show is?

    I perfer The Great North.

    I was really hearbroken when they cancelled but it got 5 excellent seasons. It felt like it was written just for me sometimes.

    Its a very specific kind of niche. Those of us that grew up in small mountain towns but ended up in the city can really see the love and detail. I used to watch it with my buddy and we would just be blown away by all the little touches. Really, anyone that spent a significant amount of time in their life in 'cabin country' would get a hit of cozy that they didn't know they needed.
