It's been two years since I watched the entire Breaking Bad series

Yes, yes I was late to the party as usual

And i just finished the latest Better Call Saul series.

So, I'm very tempted to do BB again but don't want to discover it's not as fabulous at I remember it to be.
I did the same with the Walking Dead to, btw. Found it last summer, binge watched it all and very recently watched the whole lot again - I love it.

Shall I? I haven't got a mind of my own, obviously.

I'm gonna do it!

Must be four years since I saw it, I think there will be lots of bits to see I missed the first time around.

I always watch things that I love twice, sometimes you miss things the first time round.

I’m rewatching How To Get Away With Murder, and haven’t watched season 6 yet, because when I first started watching it, I didn’t think I’d like it, so wasn’t concentrating.

It’s great by the way, if you haven’t watched it, add it to your list.

Oh I’d love to watch it again, but DH isn’t interested ☹️

It’s my favourite TV series ever.

I second The Wire. I loved BB but I think the Wire was even better.

I've binged watched twice over the years....still as good, If not better 2nd time round!

I'm currently 'dip binging' in the early hours if awake- still awesome!

(Was anyone else disappointed at the final ep of BCS?? It was such an open ended 'wait til the next series'! )

If you loved BB that much I would seriously give Ozark a go. We’ve just finished season 2 and it’s really good! Lots of similarities to BB in my opinion. You find yourself rooting for the characters you would have normally considers the bad guys!

Love BB. Rewatching much loved dramas is brilliant. You don't have to concentrate as hard as you already know the storyline so you can just relax into it and notice other things that you might have missed first time around.

I'm rewatching The Office US version. I remember it being good 10+ years ago but back then I thought Michael Scott was an idiot. Now I really fancy him Blush.

RanchoRelaxo · 07/05/2020 08:51

Yes do it!
I am always jealous of people who havnt seen breaking bad, I WISH I could watch it for the first time again

Dowser · 07/05/2020 09:55

We got through two seasons of it but then I abandoned it in the third season as I couldn’t cope with the violence.

Now I’ve watched Prison Break, which I thought was excellent , I might be a bit more numb to it.
Just finished Orange is the new Black which I really enjoyed and we are now on Ozark another good series

Dowser · 07/05/2020 09:59

We obviously don’t watch enough tv
Still want to watch killing eve
We are on with Schitts creek
Better call Saul
How to get away with murder
Also want to rewatch peaky blinders
We only watch about two hours a day and sometimes the afternoon quizzes...must try harder!

Great show. First three or so seasons especially.

LifeIsBrutal · 07/05/2020 10:46

I love the part where Walt wakes up on the floor of his new place and you hear his why saying over the asking "Walt, why is there a pizza on our roof?"Grin

yearinyearout · 07/05/2020 10:48

It's better second time round!

LifeIsBrutal · 07/05/2020 10:48

That should read 'hear his wife asking over the answering machine'

DGRossetti · 07/05/2020 11:48

BB and BCS dovetail so perfectly ... loads of tiny heads up in BCS towards BB ... how "Crazy 8" got his name, why Hector hated Fring, Saul in BB thinking that Walt and Jesse had been "sent by Nacho and Lalo" ....

Izzabellasasperella · 08/05/2020 22:32

I'm watching BB again with ds(17) who hasn't seen it before. So many great episodes although he thought 'the fly' was a bit boring but I liked it. I'm not sure if I want to sleep with Jessie or mother him! ☺️
