Wait until you get to season 3! I have not fully digested season 4 it have been better but slightly at best. Pay close attention to every character, everyone has a role on that show.

re: What Shows Are You Watching?
I'm just getting started on season 3 of Breaking Bad on Netflix. Really impressive show. I think Jessie is arguably the star of the show. That character is so well played. And actually I think Hank is underrated and underappreciated. I had a feeling early in the series he would be "humbled" somehow from his there is good and there is evil, there is no in between.
I think I still like Mad Men a bit better but BB has been outstanding

I gave Terra Nova a second try...two tries too many.

re: What Shows Are You Watching?
Breaking Bad has exceeded The Wire after season 4. It's unbelievably entertaining and well written.
To SS's point about the underrated characters, I think that's one of the hallmarks of great a TV show when the main character(s) aren't driving all the intrigue. |

re: What Shows Are You Watching?
One reason I give Mad Men the slight edge is I can relate to the world of Mad Men (office sex, hard liquor during a midday meeting...no seriously, the actual advertisting/media work) more so than cooking meth

 But Mad Men is a very, very close second to Breaking Bad. |

Breaking Bad beats The Wire? Hm, that's bold statement. I might have to check it out.

I never gave that show a chance, and now I'm not disappointed. Also am I the only one here who hasn't watched a single episode of Breaking Bad yet?

re: What Shows Are You Watching?
Mad Men and Breaking Bad seem to be on the same level for me. Both are great TV.
I have tired so many times to get into the Wire and just have not been able too. I am thinking my next show to start is Sons of Anarchy.

I watched Breaking Bad but quit halfway thru season 2. Didn't hate it just couldn't really get into it. I'm thinking of starting it up again though... |

re: What Shows Are You Watching?
I think it's different strokes, different folks kind of thing. I couldn't get into SOA at all. Seemed too contrived and predictable.
Breaking Bad, The Wire, Mad Men. I like them almost equally. |

I tried watching SOA when it first came on and found it really boring and uninteresting; which is ironic because I love Mad Men but I've heard others complain that it can be boring.
