I saw the first episode of Breaking Bad a few years ago and decided it wasn't for me. This year, I decided that unless I really did not like what I saw in the first episode, I would give it 3 epoxide.
This year I watched 3 episodes of Breaking Bad and love it also watched 3 episode of the Maid, Queens Gambit, Bodyguard, Lincoln Lawyer, Wrong Side of Tracks and Ozark and was hooked.
Saw 3 epoxides of Hollywood, Bridgeton, Designated Survivor, Grace and Frankie and dropped them.
Often series need several epoxides to develop the central characters and establish the storyline. 45 mins may not be enough.

25 to 30 million adults smoke marijuana and about 3 million have used Meth in last 12 months. Drugs have become part of the American culture.

"Inventing Anna" is an intriguing series of a true story.
The girl from "Ozark" plays the lead role of Anna.

I saw 3 episodes of Inventing Anna and didn't like it enough to continue. Unlike Ozark it seemed rather disjointed and didn't have much of a story line. Julie Garner seem to be the whole ball of wax. She was very good but I think the series needed more.

Agree
It's mainly psychological without much action.
But yea, Julie Garner is a heck of an actress.
In fact, I was half way thru the series before I realized Anna was the crazy wild blond girl from the Ozark series.

Is the series "Lincoln Lawyer" worth watching?
- Thread starter
- #28
In my opinion yes. Manuel Garcia-Rulfo who plays the Lincoln lawyer is not near as charismatic as Matthew McConaughey was in the movie but he plays the part well. The series starts off slowly but gains speed. It is more of a mystery than a courtroom drama. Mickey Haller, the Lincoln Lawyer is assigned all of fellow defense attorney Jerry Vincent's cases after he's murdered in a parking garage outside his office. Haller is faced with handling dozens of cases he knows nothing about, one being a murder case where the defendant is reluctant to help Haller in his defense. The excitement builds with each episode as Haller becomes involve in both murder cases. As I recall, the mystery is resolved in the finial episode.
Netflix has announced there will be a season 2.

Here is my story...for what its worth. I began watching it when BB was on that weird hiatus between the next to final season and final season. I think there was some long lay off between the two for some reason. Anyway, a co-worker of mine casually told me to watch it. I had Nexflix at the time so I figured what the hell. The first big hook that got me to commit to the series was
Krazy 8 being a CI.
From that point on, I was hooked. It is, the only series where I watched right up to the point to where there were no more new episodes. And I was actually upset that I "ran out" of episodes to watch. The same thing kind of happened with Ted Lasso a few weeks ago.
Part of me knew, intellectually, that this show was going to break some new ground. It did. The absolute loneliness of the drug trade and that you couldn't trust anybody is driven home time and again. The aftermath of and the unintended consequences of the trade. The broken families and absolute unvarnished reality of the lifestyle. I loved the show.
At some point, I expect to do the same thing with Better Call Saul but, for whatever reason, I haven't done it yet.

I don't think there has ever been a better series than Breaking Bad.
Perhaps more than any other reason is it stays genuine.
It doesn't jump the shark, it doesn't produce "wasted episodes", it doesn't have the characters doing things you know they wouldn't do.
Boardwalk Empire on HBO is the only show that can hold a candle to it.

Agreed. Boardwalk is a great series.
BB had some moments that were truly spectacular. One of the many great moments was when Mr. White is exposed by his BIL in the garage. That scene is outstanding. The acting was amazing.

Mayhem, murder and drug dealing is acceptable when it is sanitized by the Hollywood elite. Stick a simple thing like a confederate flag into the mix and the series would have been toast. That's life in the politically (if not morally) correct fantasy world of pop culture.

Basically it boils down to one man's decision destroyed a lot of lives. Some innocent and some not
Ozark has that same decision in it.

Dude, I think prose and theater above the 5th grade level is just too much for you.
The point of the show was that they were "anti heroes". Everyone watching knew the world would be a better place, if they dropped dead immediately.
One interesting effect of such clever writing is to make you root for evil people, in spite of yourself. It's entertaining to lose that control, when watching fiction.
But this is clearly all far too nuanced for you. Stick to comic books, son.

Mad Men is the best. Breaking Bad is close.
