Okay, so I’m a little behind the times. Breaking Bad ended in September of 2013 and I, admittedly, had never had any interest in watching it. What an egregious error in judgement.
At the urging of a friend, and the consequent risk of losing that friendship if I didn’t watch it, I subscribed for a Netflix trial, poured a glass of wine and began watching Season One, episode one. That was a few days ago and I am now on Season Two, Episode Nine. In that short period of time, I have also been working my full-time job as well as managing my daily household tasks. Sleep is for wimps.
Sunday was a challenge when I was out of power for six hours and kept myself warm by rocking back and forth in the fetal position wondering when Heisenberg and Jesse would once again grace my laptop screen.
My vernacular has taken a sudden turn as I now end every sentence with an emphatic “bitch”, and I have developed a growing attraction to a mild-mannered Chemistry teacher turned bad ass.
If I am suspiciously absent from your blog sites, I apologize. If my blog site goes unattended for a few days, I can accurately blame it on the Crystal Meth and feel safe knowing that my hallucinations are a result of sleep deprivation and not drug use.
I was a bit late to embrace Breaking Bad, too. And I understand your obsession completely.
When you finish the series, you can then move on to Better Call Saul, which is every bit as good as BB. Enjoy!
I may never leave my house again!
Haha, don’t worry, we’ve all been addicted to that show at one time or another.
I didn’t think I was alone in this! 🙂
Ha ha! Breaking bad was amazing! When you’re done, watch Better Call Saul- that’s another wonderful show from the same team. 🙂
That is the second recommendation for that show…I’ll be sure to check it out!
The writing (Breaking Bad) is awesome, especially season 4 and 5. I think, Breaking Bad, Mad Men, Better Call Saul, House of Cards, Jane the Virgin, all made me TV lover once again. Enjoy! If you want to see how versatile Bryan Cranston can be, check Malcolm in the middle too. 🙂
I’m at the end of season 2 – can’t wait for the rest.
I was a late bloomer too, Susan. 🙂
It certainly is worth catching up on. I’m completely hooked!
I stopped watching TV when I moved out of my parents house in 2000. I lived happily TV free for so long….and then Breaking Bad. And Mad Men. TV is good again. It’s ok to embrace it.
I really only watched Criminal Minds and Modern Family, but I’m doomed now.
I have resisted too – maybe one day. And I loved Dexter (well, most every season but the last couple).
I wasn’t sure before I started, but it sucked me right in!
Season Four finale. E. Gad.
You’ll know it when you get to it.
I binge watched it all too, in a couple of weeks. I remember thinking “Gee, that might be a good career”.
Binge watching, I mean.
Maybe.
I think we could have both discovered a new career!
My wife and I have been watching on DVD. It’s kinda tough since spoilers are now omnipresent
I know….but the writing is so brilliant.
