naijababe: @ LannisterIMP, TWD? What is that? I want to try Vikings, my hubby's been raving about it

TWD (The Walking Dead).

And Viking its a nice series, but I just don't really have the kicks for it.... Just my personal thing.

But I have friends that are waiting patiently for the new Season.

Let your hubby try it. I hope he like's it better and enjoy it than I did.

For the fact you don't like the pilot - which BTW is awesome - affirms that you won't like the remaining episodes. Breaking Bad is the sort of show you either take to instantly or you don't. It's that simple.

You seem to have watched many series.

I'm looking for a thrilling series to watch on Netflix, something that will keep me totally engaged & yearning for more

At the moment, I'm contemplating Orange is the new black & Son's of Anarchy.

I watched the first two seasons of suits on TV when it started, I don't have much time for TV these days, Netflix has refused to upload the new seasons (3&4)

Orange is the new black is okay. There are times were its a bit slow but you will love the different "gangs" in the show. And plus if you love lesbian scenes its for you lol. I've never heard of sons of Anarchy, so I can't comment.

yeah the uk netflix is kinda rubbish some shows are half uploaded. I resort to streaming websites.

my sister has been watching the americans and she's really enjoying it.

I too found it difficult to get into Breaking Bad after the first few episodes but glad I stuck to it. It was worth the ride, not epic as the hype would have you believe in my opinion but definitely watchable.

True Detective is the most interesting I have seen since the first season of GOT. Watching Fargo and The Americans now...

Ok! OITNB it is. grin

Netflix UK is really crap, they don't keep it updated though I've watched some good series there, like House of cards.

Basically, I like a good plot, violent & se*xual content only makes it spicier grin

Oh no you Di'n...
Dude you need to go back and re-watch breaking bad, from the Pilot.
Breaking bad is like the best show ever... IMO, it's the best show I've ever seen on the TV(well basically on a laptop,lol) smiley

I borrowed the DVD collection from a friend and at no point during my 'binge watching' did I feel the need that I REALLY had to watch the next episode. It was kinda slow paced to me, not edge of your seat (or bed in my case) suspense may be it's cos I already had the complete seasons. Don't get me wrong I enjoyed it for me to finish it but I wouldn't describe it as a 'must watch'.

Breaking Bad is a must see in my books. Yeah the first season was a little slow but after that the show was on fire.

I've a funny feeling you haven't watched Breaking Bad at all. In your previous post you made mention of how much you enjoyed watching True Detective and Fargo. Well, guess what? Statistically speaking, True Detective move at an exceeding slow pace, slower than any other TV show on TV at the moment. In fact, another show that beats it on the slow department is another HBO production: The Leftovers. But unlike, the Leftovers, True Detective doesn't drag. This is where it's appeal stems from.

Fargo moves at roughly exactly the same pace as Breaking Bad, and similar in the sense that it's unpredictable and full of suspense. You just don't know what will happen next. Both are not exactly bustling with action, but it doesn't matter. There is just about enough to keep you interested and spell-bound.

So, when you said you enjoyed those TV shows and somehow found Breaking Bad monotonous and boring, consistency becomes an issue. You know why? It doesn't make any sense. And the reason can only be that, maybe, you haven't appraised Breaking Bad with your viewing pleasure... at all.

Breaking Bad started exactly with the same pace it ended with: Erratic. Season one can neither be described as slow or faced pace just like the 2nd season to the last can neither be describe in those terms either. It's a show devoid of even one poor episode.

TV shows tend to tapper off mid series before regaining momentum, and sometimes don't, Breaking Bad never had that problem, however. Every episode, from the Pilot to the series finale were tastefully written and superbly executed. If perfection does exist, Breaking Bad came very close.

Lol@RayMcBlue and your statistics. I give my opinion and it turns out I have not watched the show.

True Detective is slow paced, can't say for Fargo (on 3rd episode). Both shows have one thing in common, there is this sinister dark mood about them, you can almost feel the raw evil from the screen. It's slow paced yes but the darkness pulls you in. That's why I enjoyed True Detective and the episodes that I have seen of Fargo.

We are all different in what we like, that you were spell bound by the suspense in BB doesn't mean everyone that saw it will feel the same. I have read my posts again and how you picked up 'boring' is beyond me.
Re: What Series Are You Watching Now? Part 2 by RayMcBlue(m): 8:20pm On Sep 01, 2014
I'm an hardcore fan of True Detective. I even created a fan thread for it.

https://www.nairaland.com/1796163/true-detective-official-fan-thread

Yes, True Detective main appeal stems from it's dark ambience. And so does Fargo, and Breaking Bad.

I found it weird that someone can like those 2 TV shows and yet in the same breath dare to call Breaking Bad a slow paced and "just there" kind of show. I find it weird indeed.

^^^And yes, you did call Breaking Bad boring. Not by words, apparently... I read between the lines.

Lol @weird. There is nothing weird in having a difference of opinion especially with something as subjective as how interesting you found a TV show. You really love ur BB. For me there was nothing dark or evil about BB it was about survival, there is nothing similar between BB and TD in my opinion so I don't understand why you so strongly feel I cannot like one and not the other.
Sometimes just reading something as it is, is enough.
Re: What Series Are You Watching Now? Part 2 by RayMcBlue(m): 8:53pm On Sep 01, 2014
Nothing dark or evil about Breaking Bad?? Okay, that's it. It's official. I'm now pretty certain you have never seen it.

Good night.

Lmao. Okay bro you win. I didn't see the show just made it up to feel among. I will go and watch it again, maybe I will be thinking of you when I do so I will have the same reaction and emotion as u. Since there is only one possible outcome after watching BB.
