Maar ik vind het helemaal niet grappig, dat is het probleem. Het plot kan op zich wel goed werken voor een serie. Het tempo van de serie is voor mij echter te langzaam en de dialogen maken dat ook niet goed. Soms zat ik echt meerdere afleveringen te wachten tot er iets ging gebeuren. En als er dan eindelijk een "tough guy" scene kwam was het binnen een paar minuten weer gebeurd.

Breaking Bad heeft inderdaad een humorniveau van beneden nul.

The Soprano's was ook een drama, vond ik ook grappig.

Goede drama's, zoals Dexter en Sons of Anarchy hebben juist veel humor. Breaking Bad is gewoon dull.

Why Breaking Bad sucks - the baddest review and most bashing critic on the face of the web

I really did it. I tortured my brain by watching the first 3 series of Breaking Bad - though there were enjoyable parts and nice graphics the overall experience totally sucked bass.

This is a personal rant - live with it!

I hate stupidness and character-inconsistencies.

Why would otherwise totally reasonable people act totally stupid the next second? Why they do it on TV is clear - it's entertaining - but - still - i want INTELLIGENT characters that are consistently intelligent.

I just don't understand what's soooooooo interesting on making a whole series on people who just mess EVERYTHING up...

...it's really making me aggressive how stupid these characters are.

And why does the series get awards for "deep characters"? WTF? I know the answer: because the TV-World is flatland. Flatland 3D! Stoopid dumbfuckz...

So here's just a short list:

the stoopid mofos meet at stupid places
why meet in a restaurant and then whisper-scream at each other about SECRETS?!
why not just sit in a car instead???
stoopid disputes, nonstop, i mean, that isn't relaxing, i could as well stop by at my alcoholics-neighbours and watch them scream at each other, sooooo annoying...
straight forward insanity paired with total stupidness... ...and five minutes later they talk wise words?
Breaking phones? What's so hard about it. Throughout the whole series phones get broken, then they throw them away, sometimes IN THEIR OWN trashcan - and they never break the sim-cards.
Leaving fingerprints ALL OVER THE PLACE - sometimes cleaning a few, playing clean super-criminal, then suddenly taking off the gloves and touching everything again...
Consistently returning to same places instead of switching movement-patterns (like, why always move back to the same house where info is already out that there was a meth-lab in the basement?)
Why not move with the family to other places?
Why always messing everything up?
Why again and again doing business with stupid people?
Why always risk all accomplishments in mindless dangerous actions?
Why make so incredible many wrong decisions if you are a superbrain scientist?!?!?!?!?!?!
Why in the first place lie to your partner and start all the bullshit?
Why not choose a partner you can trust in the first place?

The answer is: it's supposed to be entertaining.

The problem is: it's not entertaining, it's annoying.

You got 3 Million Dollars per Episode - make something out of it - i want INTELLIGENT entertainment - i expect more. Is that all?

I want it to be a fantastic story in a REALISTIC setting - yes - more realistic - there are kazillions of stupid people in reality, so, from that point of view the series is realistic - but - as it is trying to depict some intelligent and well organized criminals too, there should be at least a little more intelligent behaviour in these characters too. In reality such dumb people wouldn't survive long in the evil fangs of organized crime - it's all - too nice.

The world is at least ten times more evil than this cheapo-drug-adventure-entertainment...

Breaking Bad sucks. No, really. It sucks ass.

It seemed to me that where ever I would go, whichever forum, there would persist a constant chatter, a million tiny voices calling out as one to say one thing and one thing only: "BREAKING BAD IS TEH GRATEST SHOW EVAR!" Of course, I was curious.

With the awesome power of the internet, I soon found myself with the entirety of the first two seasons. I couldn't wait to begin, to finally join "The Church of Breaking Bad". With great anticipation, I loaded up VLC and kicked the party off.

As the minutes dragged on and on, I started to grow incredulous. Surely, thought I, something is coming. Something to break the monotonous drone of cliched storylines, stock characters, and wooden acting. The first episode finally crawled to the finish line, and I just sat there in stunned silence. I started rationalizing: many shows are saddled with a substandard pilot, perhaps it will get better. Let's try episode 2. And so I did. When that was a disappointment, I even tried episode 3. As you can probably guess, it too failed to pique even the dimmest spark of interest.

Gelukkig, eindelijk iemand anders die toegeeft dat Breaking Bad eigenlijk heel saai is. Je kunt op internet bijna geen negatieve commentaren over de serie vinden, alsof het verboden is om er kritiek op te hebben ofzo. Ik snap de hype totaal niet.

Verder over Breaking Bad. Ik kijk het niet, ben wel van plan het te gaan kijken en tegen die tijd zal ik mijn eigen oordeel vellen. Kunnen jullie bashers misschien een eigen topic openen? Ik vind bovenstaande eigenlijk niet zo passen in dit topic.

Correctie: het seizoen van switched at birth is nog niet afgelopen, gaat in januari verder. Seizoen 2 is ook nog helemaal niet bevestigd, alleen de back-half van seizoen 1 heeft groen licht gekregen.

Maar gezien dat rare aantal van 32 afleveringen oftewel 1,5 normaal seizoen denk ik wel dat dat ook het einde is dan.

There must be something about Matt Bomer. Although he's cute and all... the last TV show that he played a big role on was Traveller. It didn't work. White Collar is on the verge of the same demise. Its scripts are all cliche, trying to be "The Mentalist" sort of episode. It's like he's God able to save every freakin problem, like he's so perfect. It's tiring to watch it.

Here's an idea. Let's get an ex-criminal to help the FBI solve cases because FBI agents who have dedicated their entire lives to solving cases are witless nimrods. Without the help of Neal Caffrey the entire bureau would be worthless. Oh, let's not forget that Neal dresses like a really cool cat from 50 years ago. We get it...Neal's a lost soul and the FBI is his lifeline. Thanks for the blatant imagery.
