The joke is that episode 30 "Fly" is famously the lowest-rated episode of the series. At 7.9/10.

I gave it up at season 2 when I first started watching.

Then I watched Better Call Saul years later and it was one of my all time favourites. Then I went back to Breaking Bad and liked it even better than Better Call Saul. Breaking Bad didn't resonate with me initially and I'm so very glad I have it another chance.

Exactly, well written, well acted but the absence of sympathetic protagonists killed it for me. I just couldn't care.

yesssssss

I hate those shows where the first 3-6 episodes are just slow dramatic shots with no plot whatsoever
I vaguely remember some spy show where you didn't learn any character names until episode 2

or those where if you didn't read the book you haven't the slightest clue what's happening for basically the entire first season

I hate watching shows where you’re supposed to hate everyone. BB is one of those shows. Like how is that entertainment?

Potentially? In my experience people will flame you hard for not liking BB. Usually when people bring it up, if I mention I didn't care for it, they get irrationally pissed.

One person even tried to tell me that the reason I didn't like it was "because you're young yet". Like mf I'm in my 30s

Me too.

You really did need to watch the entirety of malcolm in the middle after season 3 to get the full lore.

Season 3 was when I really got into the show. The problem wasn't that the first two seasons were slow, they were just really dour. Especially the first season.

I loved breaking bad when it aired. I'm not sure how much i would like it now. People forget that the whole format was still kind of new back then.
