AMC cut Breaking Bads budget so they could keep producing Mad Men, otherwise that probably would have been the case.

Ah that makes sense. Show is feeling really rushed, we have not seen the media fallout of Walt's cover being blown. One episode did not properly emphasize how lonely Walt was up there in the snow. Really things like the White family being hounded by the media, DEA searching for Hank and Gomez, how Marie is holding up, Skyler and Walt Jr trying to live their life normally, Jesse's confession and a lot of things feel skipped.

One of the best shows ever tbh, but yeah it's all a bit foo hectic and rushed. Has been for a while now.

An extra season with less frantic pacing would have been ideal.

Todd is a scary mofo' indeed...

Todd is Matt Damons ugly, evil twin brother.

Hence why I called him Meth Damon

Got around to the last two episodes. Agree it feels rushed but I'm not complaining.

GOAT show, can't wait for the finale

BrBa is going to take it all in next year's emmy. I am blown over by the recent three episodes. What an acting by Bryan Cranston
Ozymandias is easily one of the best things i have seen on television.
And I loved how they included the breaking bad theme into the final scene in Granite state.
Can't wait for the finale. Never been this emotional about a series since The Sopranos

It's coming to an end

DAT ENDING Walt

It's over What a masterpiece.

Such a satisfying end to an all time great show.

Yup. I can't believe it's over, I started it when it was airing the second season, so it's been a few years. Definitely one of the best shows ever. Heisenberg

It felt predictable but like you say, satisfying. I wouldn't want my finale any other way. Dat Hank flashback

Also the ending song was perfect to close the show with. I feel like the last great drama show just left TV ffs.

Ah it's over. What an ending. So glad that the ending did not taint the entire show, alway had faith on the writers. It was very emotional, not afraid to admit I was close to tears. Definition of bittersweet.

Before part 2 of season 5 aired, I was sure of a very doom and gloom ending. I thought everyone would die with only Jesse being the sole survivor. Was sure of Skyler, Marie and one of Walt Jr or Holly dying but things turned out relatively well for all of them.

That reflection scene was brilliant as was the final nod between Jesse and Walt.

Greatest TV drama in history, can say it without a doubt. I'll miss this show.

Lydia

I'm gonna miss this *bleep* show.

Could have easily gone on for another season. However this last episode didn't feel rushed.

That ending was way too rushed for me so I kinda disliked it.

Wish it would have shown 10 months after Walts death how Jesse and Walt's family are holding up. Show that they're looking good and are happy and then end the show imo

What a show ffs

Again it felt rushed though

I mean, Walt and Jesse the two main people shared hardly any screen time in the last episode. An extra season to space everything out would've been great but anyway it's one of the best shows of all time comforrtabally. Although I wouldn't call any show 'the best' personally because so many shows are just so different.

Breaking Bad

Also thanks to BC and other GL members who hyped the show, I'd probably never see start watching it if not for this thread.

Disagree about the show being rushed and I'm glad they decided to end it after 5 seasons. In my opinion shows have a tendency of sticking around too long and ruining the experience. I felt as if the show gave me the right amount of closure and I definitely plan of watching all five seasons again in the near future.

^Dexter, for example. Lasted well beyond when it should have.

I would have loved another season. Still completely satisfied though. Never felt so much while watching television.

Many people would have liked another season but it would have been too much imo. Maybe a couple of episodes .. just to see Jesse and the others a few years later.

BrBa And to say that i've hesitated for a long time to watch just because i thought that Bryan aka Malcom's father was not a great actor .. Shame on me .
