Aging like breast milk

It's two years exactly

>2 years

And you have no idea where the 5 seasons fit together in those 2 years.

only thing that ages poorly is all the Skyler and breakfast boi scenes. just skip them and it turns into kino

The first two seasons are good and then it turns to shit. One of the later episodes is just a one hour long episode of them trying to catch a fly.

It has a number of great episodes in the early seasons. It turns into reddit capeshit in the final two seasons.

The last season was shit when it aired and it was trudging along for a long time up to that point. The neo-nazi gang were such underwhelming villains and it was a lazy cop-out instead of building up a new villain/villains. It has so many cliffhangers and filler episodes that it isn't rewatchable to me.

Yes we do. The first year is his evolution into Heisenberg, and the second year is when he's hiding and then returns at the end. Not difficult stuff user.

yeah its worth a watch. like everything mainstream normies overhype it as being a masterpiece but it's a fun bit of TV and it's very well cast in my opinion

There didn't need to be any villain other than Walt.

Uncle Jack was based and redpilled and Lydia was waifu status.

But yeah otherwise it started going to shit in season 3 with the plane crash finale of season 2 being the watershed moment. Gus was a shitty boring character who shouldn't have had 4 seasons and whose involvement changed the struggling underdog street level element of the show that made it so entertaining and good.

Yes it’s very good, far from perfect but worth watching. do the exact opposite of whatever Yea Forums says, they’re just contrarian

you got filtered by the only real pleb filter episode of the show

I agree. Should have ended with him getting into a firefight with the police.

You have no idea when the episodes take place. How much time takes place between walt getting his cancer diagnosis and when they work with Tuco? You dont know. When does Skyler get pregnant? You dont know. You have no idea how much time takes place between any event other than walt's birthdays. And walt's birthdays only have relation to walt's birthdays and nothing else. Ergo, the timeline is meaningless. You still have no idea when events occur

At the... End? Right? Is this bait? The story happens chronologically for the most part. Aside from a few flash forward/back episodes. What do you want? A calendar?

I disagree with pretty much everything this guy said HOWEVER

Jane dies some time in March at the end of season 2. Walt and Jesse work for Gus for a few months, into July, I think?
But, during season 3 a lot of characters are wearing winter clothing for the American Southwest and when Walt goes to Gus' for dinner his breath is visible.
I've never been in the Southwest at night in the spring, but this can't be right, right?

>the timeline is meaningless
yea it really has no meaning on the plot

It’s New Mexico, it gets cold at night in the desert.

How am I supposed to feel Walts desperation and pain when he lives in a literal cartoon villain world? All the villains are absurd, capeshit tier

why do you care exactly what time of the year things occur? it doesn't fucking matter lol this is the weirdest criticism of BB i've ever seen, there's so many other things to pick up on but you autists are mad that you don't get a calendar to defer to lmao

Yeah but who cares. It's the same in most shows. Even in the sopranos it's pretty vague when things happen but it doesn't matter because the drama between characters is what makes it interesting

Good lord. That is just... Do you have some kind of ocd?

but there are plenty of scenes at night in what would actually be fall and winter months and this doesn't happen.

hello, here. Like I said originally I don't really care about what the other guy was saying. I was just pointing out something I found curious, was all. Sorry you got mad, dude.

Exactly. Why would you watch a show expecting it to work like reality. It's about a cancer ridden family man who becomes a meth King pin. Just enjoy it for what it is

This is why it went to shit with season 3. The stupid fucking spooky twins and Gus the criminal mastermind running KFC as a front. Tuco was way more grounded and appropriate as a stateside cartel affiliate. Breaking Bad never should have gotten so far above street level. Hell, if they had just had Walt hook up with some biker gang for distribution instead of stupid fucking faggot Gus it could have worked so much better.

No, the Sopranos actually has seasons and states what time of year it is, it's pretty easy to follow when the episodes happen.

THERE IS NOT A SINGLE reference to the time of year in any episode of Breaking Bad.

Yeah, you read that right. There are no references to holidays, dates, months, anything. School is always in session. In every episode. And there are no seasons. And no reference to the time of year. Ever.

why do you care so much about what time of the year it is in Breaking Bad episodes, it literally isn't important to the plot at all

It is the only masculinist program of recent memory, as some noir western mixup.

I agree, Gus definitely ruined the show's dynamic. But he's a symptom of the seed they planted when they started to try to one up themselves with """BADASS""" scenes to appeal to LCD normalfags.

Jessie is a friend, yeah
I know he's been a good friend of mine
But lately something's changed that ain't hard to define
Jessie's got himself a girl and I want to make her mine
And she's watching him with those eyes
And she's loving him with that body, I just know it
Yeah 'n' he's holding her in his arms late, late at night
You know
I wish that I had Jessie's girl
I wish that I had Jessie's girl
Where can I find a woman like that
I play along with the charade
There doesn't seem to be a reason to change
You know, I feel so dirty when they start talking cute
I wanna tell her that I love her
But the point is probably moot
'Cause she's watching him with those eyes
And she's loving him with that body, I just know it
And he's holding her in his arms late, late at night
You know
I wish that I had Jessie's girl
I wish that I had Jessie's girl
Where can I find a woman like that
Like Jessie's girl
I wish that I had Jessie's girl
Where can I find a woman
Where can I find a woman like that
And I'm looking in the mirror all the time
Wondering what she don't see in me
I've been funny, I've been cool with the lines
Ain't that the way love supposed to be
Tell me, where can I find a woman like that
You know, I wish that I had Jessie's girl
I wish that I had Jessie's girl
I want Jessie's girl
Where can I find a woman like that
Like Jessie's girl
I wish that I had Jessie's girl
I want, I want Jessie's girl

>THERE IS NOT A SINGLE reference to the time of year in any episode of Breaking Bad.
It's a stylistic choice you autist.

>not important to the plot

You do realize the plot of BB is about a man with only a few months to a year to live right? That's how the show starts. But is quickly forgotten about, because it doesn't matter anymore once the wacky meme meth cooking becomes the focus

it is 100% worth a watch, flaws and all
personally I don't think I'll ever watch it a second time but I'm glad I saw it

Gus plotlines have been fucking up BCS for the last 2 seasons as well

The point is that the treatment is working so he's not actually in danger of dying in the immediate future. Did you even watch the show you retarded fuck

>it's pretty easy to follow when the episodes happen
That's because it's a serialized drama, you sperge.

>stylistic choice

It's called lazy. If you had to write a short story about a man with limited time to live for a writing course, and you made no references to time at all, you would fail that part of the course.

Some shit like the airplane crash and the edgy beaner brothers really took me out of the show. S5 was just plain bad.

I always thought that they squandered Tuco as a villain. It was already getting ludicrous at the point right before they introduced the twins, but that episode made me sit for a while and think to myself "what the fuck am I watching?" and "Is this still Breaking Bad?".

i agree with this feller

Did you watch the show? Because the treatment doesn't work. He's never not dying of cancer

>best case scenario, with chemo, i'll live maybe another couple years

youtube.com/watch?v=cODE4N6VRFI

not that this is the point. the whole point of the show is that Walt is a man who has lived in fear all his life, the cancer takes away the fear and he finally takes action and finds out that he's actually not a very good guy. the show was never meant to be "the last few months of Walter White's life and how he copes with his terminal illness" you turbosperg

its great front to back

Are you saying breaking bad is not a serialized drama, but the Sopranos is?

What other marker besides birthday episodes are required?

He literally goes into remission and has surgery halfway through the show which is what buys him the time he has by the end. He even freaks out in the bathroom and punches up a wall mount because of the news.

So you agree the show is about a man with cancer and a finite time to live then?

One of the reasons they set it in New Mexico is because there aren't any noticeable seasons which means it can be any time of year. If you're writing a story about a man with limited time and you autistically reference what time it is every other paragraph then you're going to fail.

why are you so angry over strangers on the internet lmao

>There is literally no reference to time at all though
>the bacon birthdays are meaningless
>literally no reference to time at all
>bacon birthdays
>literally no reference
>literally
>bacon birthdays
>literally

If only we knew down to the day how long it's been since Walt got diagnosed what a show it would be.

Basic times of year for one thing. The Earth doesn't even revolve around the sun in breaking bad, apparently

Great first season. Everything else was pretty poorly written. The last season was terrible.

You've clearly never lived in New Mexico. It snows you fucking nigger.

>The Earth doesn't even revolve around the sun in breaking bad, apparently
There are multiple scenes in which they do a timelapse from day to night and back to day. The Earth clearly revolves around the sun in Breaking Bad.

that's like saying the sopranos is about a mob boss and nothing else, there's clearly more to the plot. the point isn't that Walt has a couple of years to live, the show is about Walt finally having the balls to do what he wants to do because he now has nothing to lose. did you even watch the show? Walt getting cancer and having a finite amount of time left is just the premise of the show, it's not all the show is allowed to be

>the bacon birthdays have no relation to the actual events in the show
>only to each other
>the viewer still has no idea when the events of the show take place

here you go time autist this will revolutionize your breaking bad experience

breakingbad.fandom.com/wiki/Breaking_Bad_Timeline

Not in Albuquerque, retard.

Uh user, seasons and the day,night cycle are caused by two completely different things

>time autist does a rewatch while studying this timeline and makes a thread pointing out inconsistencies

Google snow Albuquerque, NM. I'll wait.

I googled it like you said, but it was just pictures of your mom snowballing homeless mens' cum into your dad's mouth.

Nope. As brilliant as it always was, loser

That's literally made up by some fanboy, kek, the show never mentions dates and he's just going off by the fake driver's license for Jane's birthday to even grasp at straws

If the show explicitly laid out that timeline what would it change?

It would change the show into a well written and thought out series and Vince would be hailed as a genius instead of a hack who just made up things as he went along.

this isn't entirely true, but there is a lot of dumb time-related shit sprinkled throughout the series. jesse falls head over heels in love with goth girl and becomes a full blown heroin addict over the course of like a week, for example

except literally no one cares about this besides you

I don't think you paid attention very well. I suggest another viewing.

The only point in which certain time-specific events mentioned in the story led to an actual mistake made was when they mentioned Bin Laden getting assassinated.

I am currently rewatching the show and they definitely mention the passage of time.

lol imagine saying this with a straight face

It's a meme meh, one hup from memediocrity. Not win nor lose from watching it, yet better than other contemporary meme series.

>the test of "time"
was this foreshadowing this thread being overtaken by the time autist?

user I'm obviously kidding, kek.

The pilot takes place over about a month (remember ‘three weeks later’)

Granite State is about 6-7 months IIRC

So that means everything else that happens is over 16 months if the whole thing is 2 years.

Oh and Gliding Over All has that sequence where Walt is cooking and Lydia is distributing to Europe which could have been anywhere from 4-6 months. It seemed like a while.

Yes, the only thing the viewer knows is that Walt has birthdays. Everything else is a huge guess. No one will ever know when and how the actual events relate to each other.

who tf cares, gay nerd. Critique the show for turning into a Chrysler commercial and dragging on forever past season 2, not for some stupid time discrepancy

>when the events of the show take place
Your autism is showing.

What's really a meme is Yea Forumsirgins pretending to hate BrBa just because is too popular

fact - more happens in the episode The Fly than in entire series of BCS

the majority of fags on Yea Forums dont even fully watch shows or dont pay attention

>One of the later episodes is an hour of then catching a fly
And was literally NO JOKE directed by Rian Johnson

It is a solid show. Even if it is overrated by a lot of people it is worth a watch. I'd give it a 7/10. With 5 being your average shit

>I have cancer. It's very advanced.
>oh dear god no!

SEVERAL METH COOKS LATER

>So whatever happened with that advanced cancer?
>oh i went to the doctor this morning its in remission
>whew these have been a trying 3 years

This show will age amazingly because all anyone who gets through to the end will remember is how awesome a villain gus was, and how tense the last handful of episodes were, followed by a kino, cathartic ending.

"No!"

good show that suffers from filler eps and decline in quality in later seasons

>Yea Forums becoming so contrarian that it’s trying to convince others that the greatest tv show of all time is nothing special
Yikes!

they're not neo-nazis

You don't need to pin an exact date to each episode user, the time between events is made clear if it's relevant and left vague if it's not.

Watch it, it's good if you're into that kind of show. I feel like the majority of Yea Forums anons who shit on it just do it because it's a show with popular appeal.
Sure, it drags on a bit by the end, but it's got a better conclusion than most TV series that go on past 3 seasons.

>rian johnson
>pleb filter

I tried rewatching it recently and the cringe was too strong
