The whole epilogue was strange but having character arcs get all screwy for no good reason was not a satisfying way to end the show. Walter calling Saul a little bitch was pretty good, though.

i also thought the last few episodes were dumb like "lol it's a tragedy so we gotta gently caress his life up even more!!!" Saul was the worst part, should have just been the Mike, Gus, and Lalo show.

Breaking Bad was mid, mostly it was just people who didn't have HBO or other premium channels feeling like they finally had something they could latch onto as being "great TV" even though it really a 3.5/5

Looking back it's funny as hell that there was a show about meth cooks, murderers, meth dealers, businesspeople and meth distributors and for 5 years apparently none of them ever once said "gently caress" out loud

Admittedly I don’t watch a lot of TV. I doubt Breaking Bad is great on a rewatch, they spent a lot of time pulling at your heartstrings and it doesn’t really work when you already knows whats gonna happen.

I am the one who knocks lol more like i am the one who walks backwards out of walmart giving the finger (middle finger) to the complete limited edition bilingual box set with "breaking bad" written on the top and "breaking bad: le chimiste" on the bottom so the francophones know what it is the show stinks

Breaking bad started off good because it was a dark comedy for like the first season and a half. Then it wanted to be all "gritty true crime" and it got way too serious and up it's own rear end. Better call saul was good for the first two seasons for the same reason, then kinda went off the rails for the same reasons.

The big problem(s) with the BCS ending is just how stupid Saul and Kim become. Kim creates a mess of her own and Saul decides to go to prison for life rather than for 7 years and Kim have no money. Yeah, that fits his character. Oh, it was cuz of love. Uh huh. No. Him getting bored and deciding to run scams again did make sense. Him getting mad at Kim and deciding to do stupid poo poo on a heist, okay, I can see it. But everything that comes after was just ridiculously stupid and seemed like the writers had an ending and tried to get there with dumb plot beats. As for Kim. She's not stupid and she knows that confessing is not going to do anything for her guilt. It's only going to make her life worse. And she's already done what she could to try to mitigate the bad decisions she had previously made. So she makes probably her worst decision to date. The show was fine until the end. Then this stupid 4 episode epilogue happens and just hits the dumb accelerator at the end and runs off into the sunset of stupidity. TBH, Saul deciding to accept a 7 year plea rather than go to trial didn't really fit his character, either. He would know it was a gamble but would believe in his ability to sway at least part of the jury to hang the jury and get off completely. So more writing that doesn't fit the character. When the judge asks if he's used any drugs he should have said he overdosed on stupid pills.

I genuinely thought BCS was the greatest show of all time until the last season came out. It crapped the bed imo.

Saul was actually shot by the police near the end and died in that trash bin. Everything that happens after that was just a deathbed vision. They could've ended the show with another Cinnabon hallucination to make it more obvious: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9Vmpz0CHKtw

The keen viewer will note that Cinnabon is very close to "sins are bon (French for 'good')". It symbolizes Saul's expectations that he will profit from his misdeeds.

The dirty cop across the street (now doing his year in jail for conspiracy to plant evidence) actually put a vinyl Dutton Ranch logo on the doors of his pickup truck. I’ve never seen the show but hypothesis confirmed.

A lot of shows are that way. Breaking Bad was great at the time but time moves on. The Sopranos is another one in that vein. At the time it was awesome but try to watch it now. Just loving awful.

Yeah actually after posting something about Breaking Bad being good a couple weeks ago, I tried to rewatch it this week, and it's tough. It's entirely out of touch with its own subject matter and has a, for lack of a better term, D.A.R.E.-washed view of not only drugs but drug users and people who sell drugs. It feels a little bit like a weird caricature of "drugs" drawn by one of those racist caricature artists. I also found it strange in retrospect how little time it spends acknowledging all of the countless lives Walt destroyed offscreen by flooding the local meth markets of small-town New Mexico with easily-accessible supply. Plus it has that whole thing of having to be on Cable TV and dance its way around profanity and stuff that makes a lot of the conversations feel like awkward stilted things written by a church group.
