I really enjoyed Breaking Bad but I've never had any inclination to rewatch it.

Breaking Bad is the only Mount Rushmore show I’ve never wanted to rewatch. I can revisit The Sopranos, The Wire or Mad Men any time

Imagine your wife telling you she can't wait for the cancer to come back and kill you, when you never did anything to her.

Breaking Bad mastered building tension, The Wire mastered creating a layered world, The Sopranos and Mad Men in their own ways mastered character depth and were flawlessly written. I have a few other favorites but those four shows are perfect.

sons of anarchy, peaky blinders, boardwalk empire... these and those three rushmore shows are just some that i should actually get off my ass and watch instead of another run through firefly. :P. i guess i can include game of thrones on that as well.

Breaking Bad is built on that tension propelling you from one oh shit moment to the next. That makes it the easiest to binge on your first watch. But almost like a drug, the effect wears off a little bit when you know where it’s going. Mad Men is almost the opposite, there’s no real narrative tension but it’s always surreal watching how the characters adapt to the world around them changing.

I've rewatched the first 7 season of Game of Thrones at least 6 or 7 times.

that is what he intended before he started actually doing it, yeah. but i feel like we've run all the way through the morality and guilt or blame of the two characters. he is the better character in my opinion, because he is more fun to watch through the journey than she is. that's all. it doesn't have to be about putting yourself into his shoes or hers.

The point of the show is to put yourself in Walt's shoes. It is understandable and gradually becomes less so throughout the show.

i don't think that is the point of the show. i don't think vince gilligan meant for us to sympathize with or root for walt, really.
