We've just started watching this, way after everybody else. But isn't it great? Last night was the one in series 2 with the ATM.
What are other poster's favourites?

Thank you - will definitely watch!

It’s fantastic! enjoy 😊

Spin off El Camino worth watching. Also Bob Odenkirk (Saul) did a fantastic film in 2021 called Nobody. Very good actor.
We started watching Bryan Cranston in Your Honour but couldn't get into it.

I watched it and absolutely loved it, and the film, and Better Call Saul. I don't think you need to watch BCS before BB.

you dont but it does add a bit of context at times

BackinRed101 · 28/02/2026 19:11

personally i prefer Better Call Saul, and Gus better

Breaking Bad has the most perfect ending of any show I’ve ever seen. The final scene is etched into my mind forever.

I love it! I’ve watched the whole thing about 4 times over. The film is brilliant too

There's a film?!.....

El Camino: A Breaking Bad Movie

BB is a masterpiece. I watch it every year with my DS and I get something different from it everytime.

Like someone upthread I realised Walt is an absolute raging narcissistic psychopath and Skylar is the victim after repeated viewings.

Walt is my ex to the point that I feel nauseous watching some scenes. His entitlement and ego are off the charts. Bryan Cranston deserved every award he received for that role. He absolutely nailed it.

Absolutely love BB, my favourite episode is with the aeroplane and the flight controller. I won’t say more as I don’t want to cause a spoiler!

It was a perfect ending, I agree.

I completely agree, I’ve watched it at least 10 times and see different things, and my opinion on the characters has completely changed from the first watch.

@Thesummer yes !!! I’d Forgotten about Skinny Pete ❤️ thank you for reminding me , he was such a character, and it’s strange I have seen neither of those actors in anything since. I need a rewatch

Love the series that have been mentioned here so I'm going to add 'Sons of Anarchy'.

You would love Animal Kingdom I think it’s streaming on Netflix now it’s been described as sons of anarchy meets point break. It’s truly excellent, remake of an Australian film starring Ben Mendelsohn.

Thanks to this thread I’ve just started watching El Camino. It’s brilliant. Todd is loathsome!

El Camino: A Breaking Bad Movie

Thank you. I'll look out for that.

brendaschmenda · 01/03/2026 09:04

Loved it so much. Binged it when it first came out, think I subscribed to Netflix specially to watch it on a friends recommendation and I wasn’t disappointed.

Don’t think I could ever rewatch it though. Maybe if I had lots of spare time.

But do much of it was the shock and suspense and the twists.

Just unbelievable. All of it.

We still reference it a lot in our house.

dontjustdontdoit · 06/03/2026 21:04

Just started watching Better Call Saul. I love that feeling of starting something that I know I can binge. Thanks for recommending!

tennissquare · 06/03/2026 21:11

@dontjustdontdoit, lucky you, BCS is just the best! I watched it as it came out so over 7 years!

mimi14 · 06/03/2026 21:14

There's a spoof alternate ending on the dvd boxset, where Hal (malcolm in the middle) wakes up and it was all a bad dream 😆

SpinelessBastardsAll · 06/03/2026 21:17

Ohpleeeease · 26/02/2026 14:12

Breaking Bad is very good but BCS is very much better, so you have a treat to look forward to!

Did you watch The Wire? Also excellent although it looks a bit dated now.

Absolutely agree. Better call Saul is the best thing I've ever seen. Strange how the first episode dragged though.
