Breaking Bad (AMC) TV Show • Page 23

Yeah I really would suggest never watching it, especially if you like Queen and know anything about Freddie... it's so bad.

Maybe I'll jump into Mr Robot next, I should just give it a shot.

 

I mean, it was truly an embarrasment. To be fair, he probably did exactly what he was directed to do.... but I felt like I was watching "Edward Scissorhands as Freddie Mercury," it was just honestly such a weird caricature of who that human was.

 

Yeahh I definitely have not heard good things about that film either, I don't plan to ever see it

 

Rami is solid in other stuff but I feel like he was made for Mr Robot.

Will never watch the Queen movie.

 

I was looking through his filmography and it turns out that's the only thing I have seen him in, so yeah I definitely have a skewed view ha

 

I stopped watching mr robot halfway through the second season and really have no desire to finish it.

 

I've also heard more than a few accounts like that of people who gave up somewhere in the second season

 

Yeah, it was slow waiting week-to-week because they were building up to a lot, but I'd say even the back half of season 2 picks up a ton

 

I dont blame people for quitting Mr. Robot during the second season, some of the cliff hangers were pretty annoying, I remember a character chilling in their house when there's a knock on the door, they open it and make a shocked face...then we had to wait until the next episode revealed that it was nothing and no one of consequence lol things like that really tried my patience with the show. Still I think the show is worth finishing for the series finale alone, such a beautiful ending.

 

Honestly I did the same thing when it was airing but went through the whole thing after it finished because I heard such good things about it and really can't recommend it enough. It just gets better and better from there.

 

We got to the episode where Walt blows Gus up and holy shit. Even a bigger holy shit at the reveal at the end. Fucked up.

 

And to think that some people in here hated it!

 

The highs of Breaking Bad is still to this day some of the best television viewing experiences I've ever had - watching those final 8 episodes in real time week to week was a wild ride. The last couple episodes (Ozymandias in particular) had my roommates and I standing the entire hour - the commercial breaks felt like a much needed tension killer.

However, as a whole, I'd still rank The Sopranos above it as the greatest drama series of all time.

Since BB's ending, there have been some really incredible shows (besides Better Call Saul obviously): Fargo, The Leftovers, Mr. Robot, Watchmen, Barry, and Succession (which for my money has some of the best comedy writing on tv outside of What We Do in the Shadows)

 

I love Rami Malek - he's incredible on Mr. Robot, I'm excited for his villain turn in No Time to Die, but Bohemian Rhapsody is such a god awful film on so many levels (including the studio's decision to hire THAT GUY to direct originally).

A lot of my family that grew up with Queen loved it however - I was the crazy one for saying it was bad.

 

Yeah my fiance's parents are massive fans of Queen and saw them a few times. They loved the movie. Haven't heard good things from anyone else

 

I thought Queen obsessives were the people who hated the film. So much of the drama was completely made up.

 

depends on the fans, I am very much a Queen fan and hated it for that reason and more

 

idk the first season of Mr Robot made it feel kinda edgelord to me when it came out. I didn’t persist with it.

 

Mr. Robot is incredible and only gets better as it goes. Seasons 3 and 4 are some of the best TV I’ve ever seen

 

one of the best shows of the decade easily

 

We finally have seen these two scenes over the last few nights

 

Been trying to go back in the first pages of hte thread while avoiding spoilers, wanted to say:

As someone who has watched The Walking Dead, "Fly" to me felt like a classic AMC episode where they were trying to save money by having as few actors in it as possible. Kind of a "filler" episode of sorts. I didn't hate it or anything, but it just felt like quintessential AMC lol

 

Vince Gilligan admitted that actually lol they burned through their budget, so they made a bottle episode

 

doesn’t make it any less quality!!
