Hmm I wouldn't go that far. It was a decent ending, but far from perfect. Still a few unanswered questions, but over the course definitely one of the better put together shows.
I'm on to House of Cards next.

I'm just starting series 3.
Its good, but not as good as The Sopranos and nowhere near Lost.
Missed out the first time around so just about to start working my way through 24 because it's on Sky box sets. I believe it's a bit good.
For me it was the format that a novelty. The storyline was pretty meh. Except the CTU ringtone (once, not repeated like this video. Now its just driving me bonkers)

Standard American stuff :greengrin
I dunno. I think watching Breaking Bad as a boxset has probably spoiled the suspense. A 24 hour session of 24 might be interesting though :greengrin
Everyone should be on board with Boardwalk Empire by the way. It's better than Breaking Bad, IMHO.
I love both but couldn't agree that Boardwalk is better. Very different shows and in style Boardwalk is closer to The Wire in its slow build each season. Early chapters often seem irrelevant only to prove important to the story as things come together in final few episodes. Dunno if you are up to date but i thought season 4 was back to its best after a mixed third season. Sad to hear that next year will be its last as they've barely scratched the surface of Luciano and Lanskys stories!
I'm currently on Wire re watch for umpteenth time as my missus hasn't seen it. For me that remains untouchable as the greatest tv show ever. An important story and "all the pieces matter". Plot points from episode 2 come into play in episode 50. It's so well constructed and very little I'd change about it.
Just fired through the first series and on to the second. I really commend the way it didn't dick about. Setting the scene for 3 episodes etc. straight into the action
Just finished the first season of 24 last night. That was brilliant, going on to season 2 tonight. No idea why I didn't watch this at the time!
Also worth giving Homeland a mention. That was a cracking show.
The Wire is good but I found it a bit depressing by the last series.
Not to have a go but that is of course the point? The futility of war on drugs, the self serving nature of institutions and the decay of American cities/society. The myth of equality of opportunity.
I'm halfway through re-watch number 7 or 8. An absolute pleasure and in a strange way I find the most depressing parts the best as they make a real impact.
I actually think they should show The Wire in schools.
Finished watching BB the other nite and I have to say OMG what an outstanding series.
Probably the best I've seen.
Cranston was immense as were the others.
Got the whole thing finished in a about 8 days. Finished it on Wednesday. Best thing I have ever watched, absolutely gutted it is finished! Although Walt was great, Jesse really grew on me! Would highly recommend this to anyone. Absolutely phenomenal man!
Breaking Bad - 10/10 :top marks
Finished it tonight! Absolutely tremendous! Felt for Jesse though as he seemed to get a rough time of it a lot of the time! Unbelievably good show!!
Finished it today it absolutely brilliant. The first 2 seasons are a bit slow but after that I couldn't stop watching it.
Breaking Bad 10\10
Anyone know when Better Call Saul is likely to start?
http://www.cbsnews.com/news/breaking-bad-spinoff-better-call-saul-to-be-filmed-in-albuquerque/
According to this cbs news article from a few days ago it's only just been announced that it's to be filmed in albuquerque so I'd imagine it'll be 6 months at the very least before its on our screens.
