Rewatching Breaking Bad

[iamwhatiseem]

We watched the series on Netflix back in 2016. Never watched it since, and I knew then that this is the best TV show in television history for a long list of reasons.
But is it rewatchable?
I knew watching the beginning was going to be not so easy, the first half of the first season - not a whole lot happens. They are setting the stage for the rest of the series, and you already know all of it so the first 5-6 episodes are marginally entertaining.
But Season 2 - here it comes. I had forgotten more than I remembered. I couldn't remember what was going to happen other than, obviously, Walt and Jesse were going to survive. I was very surprised that Tuco was only in 3 episodes, and besides really just momentarily being in a few scenes - he is really only in one episode longer than a few minutes.

Yes, not only is it rewatchable. It is still a super great show even after already seeing it.

It's tough to rewatch "Peekaboo" because you know there are kids actually living that.

I like that series. I also like El Camino and Better Call Saul as well. All worth re-watching. I like Soprano's as well. I got the DVD collection. My dad introduced me to Rockford Files. James Garner was handsome back in the day. My dad and I watch those as well.

How many times does poor Jesse need to get the shit beat out of him?

Jonathan Banks made both shows

Jonathan Banks made both shows

Definitely fit in extremely well in the "spirit" of the show.
Another is Dean Norris as Hank. He is a marginal actor in his career, but is perfect for playing Hank.

I do not understand the hatred some BB fans have of El Camino. It was not meant to be a theatrical movie, it was an idea Vince Gillman had and pressures he received to tell the story of Jesse. There was talk of this while BB was still filming. Gillman didn't agree with others that they should make a stand alone episode in Breaking Bad that was all about Jesse. He didn't want to do it. And he refused to even consider making a spin off show. So he agreed to make a short movie.
I thought it was great. I definitely liked it.
And Better Call Saul...it started out pretty damn iffy, I was struggling - but once it got going - it just may be the second best TV series of all time.
