I'm on season 2 of 'Breaking Bad' and I feel it's not as good as everyone hyped it up to be. Should I read spoilers and move on or does it get better?

I remembered everyone talking about the show like it was as good as game of thrones or something....I don't get it. I mean it's not bad but im not that into it.

JUST YOU WAIT. I had to stop in season 2 for like six months because I couldn’t stand Walter and Skyler’s relationship (nothing to unpack there, promise). It gets SO much better. Just power through. I promise it’ll all make sense.

Seasons 1 and 2 are mostly a bit of a slow burn to set up the characters/plot. Give it some more time. Please come back and report if you think things improve.

I was in a similar boat last year and after season two thought this was a colossal waste of time.

Believe me when I say: it gets *much* better immediately after season 3 starts. You got through the tough part, now reap the benefits :)

It does get better. But it depends what you like. It is not a flashy, fast-moving, only plot-surprise driven type of show. But if you like well-acted, more artful and brooding work, then it does get absolutely amazing on that level. Almost poetic Shakespearian. You do need to watch it all though to close the loop on the story and feel that.

For example my most favorite episode of the show is this one episode where the two main characters are cooking and a fly gets in. The whole episode takes place in the same room over that same complication, but it’s so well done and it’s an exceptional piece of art (writing, acting). If things like that are appeal to you, then I recommend you continue. If you want flashy, fast-moving plot, then move on.

I loved the show and am so glad I watched it all but I did (1) struggle to get into it and (2) have trouble binging it as it’s so dark and gritty. If you watch too much in one sitting, it’s too much from a depression standpoint.

In season 3 I spent many nights thinking that I will have no purpose or goal in life once I finish watching this show

funny

I couldn’t sit thru it and gave up midway thru season 1. Also since we already know how to ends, it takes away form the mystery.

Lucky you lol when the series finale happened, I found out all about what they did while knowing absolutely nothing about the show. Same as how when GoT ended, people cried so much the whole world knows the biggest spoiler of the show. Takes away from the mystery 🤦‍♀️

S2 was pretty slow but still decent. S4, 5 and 6 are pretty much the best television has to offer

It’s good. You’ll enjoy it. And yes it gets better.

You're better than me, never got beyond episode 1 😂😂

fast forward through any scene with the kid or wife and you’ll enjoy it much more with added benefit of efficiency.
