Breaking Bad...

I started watching Sons of Anarchy a while back and liked it for some of the first season but soon lost interest and stopped. There were elements that felt a little to "soap opera-ish" for my taste. Same with Friday Night Lights, it was great but I didn't care for all the soap opera type stuff. But a lot of people love SOA and swear by it. Everyone tells me to watch Mad Men, so I will definitely start it at some point. I've started watching Dexter and really like it. I've only gone through about 2 seasons (there are 8 total so it will take a while) but the show is a lot different than I expected. I avoided it because I thought it would be gory, and I don't like gory/bloody type of things but its not at all. Its definitely a cliffhanger type show at each episode so you get really tempted to watch just one more. My two all time favorites are The Sopranos and The Wire, I've watched each series multiple times and I'm assuming you've seen them. But if not, drop everything and watch them now!

 

I am more of a one thing at a time guy.

 

Ah, that's OK Zamboni. At least you're a guy who can admit it. I think maybe for you, Sons. Unless you're like my husband and pick the opposite of whatever I say, then I would say Mad Men.

 

+1 Breaking Bad, I re-watched the entire series on Netflix. Well written, good acting, but can't get into Skyler, she seems to have a rod up her as*. Walt is a saint for staying with her.

Just watched the Netflix series "House of Cards" with Kevin Spacey, a big for this series. A must for political junkies out there.

I could not get into Mad Men, although this show has had a positive effect on Manhattans, bartenders seem to know how to make them now.

Another one that I just could not watch is Boardwalk Empire. I'm no prude, but there was just too much gratuitous sex.

 

I can't believe you guys hating on Skyler. I shake my head in disbelief.

Another show I just got hooked on. I'm only a few episodes in though. House of Cards on Netflix. One of the kids at work was telling me about it and I was like...yawn...sounded boring. But, it's really good.

 

I would recommend House of Cards... very political stuff, but sometimes funny.

Right now, I'm over 1/2 way through Orange is the New Black. Wow! Is this one a believable picture of life in a women's prison? I'm hooked.

 

Got caught up with Breaking Bad last night, watched the first episode of Orange is New Black. I really liked it. There are only 13 episodes total, so won't be too long before I am through it.

 

C'mon Sonya, you are bordering on being a spoiler.
Didn't someone start a spoiler thread for Breaking Bad? We just finished season 3 over the weekend.

House of Cards is fantastic if you like politics.

 

An article about Skyler- not a spoiler OK to read.

Not spoiling, but you guys need to do whatever you can to catch up and watch this last season live (or close to it). It's craze amaze.

 

It is killing me...have the first three episodes to watch of this season and husband is hunting. He would not be happy with me if I watch without him. It will be sad to see it end. One of th few shoes that we both enjoy together.

 

Finished season 4 over the weekend. Season 5 will have to wait until next week.

 

Season 5 on Netflix is only half a season- 8 episodes, the last of season 5 is the 8 that are currently going to air on AMC. I don't know why they didn't just call these episodes season 6, but they didn't

 

Never thought I'd hear anyone ever say that!

 

Something to do with contract negotiations, they would have to enter into all new agreements if it was broken out as a new season, both with the cast and producers and with the network. Same thing happened with The Sopranos final season.

And holy crap this show is fucking awesome!

 

The wife and I just got caught up. We love the show.
