Yeah, I was in after the body dissolved the bathtub. I was shocked that they went that dark.

I don't think the show found a wider audience until somewhere around the end of season four/start of season five. The show only seemed to blow up in popularity the last two seasons (and really more the final season if you ask me).

The show grew in small increments season to season, and then blew up in the second half of Season 5.
I call rubbish there. It pretty much confirms the theory.

All I know is it seems like it went from a show with a rabid cult following online but a lot of casual audience members didn't seem to know much about it to huge in it's final season.

First half of season 3 nearly lost me. After rewatching season 3 a couple months ago I figured out why too. Every damn character is mopey about something. But once you hit "One Minute" the show is off and running.

Re: Breaking Bad - some Questions
When I ranted and raved over how unbelievably great BB is to people I know, others wanted to "join in on the hype" (especially over the last 8 episodes when it became a pop culture phenomena) and I got ridiculed for over-hyping a "rather boring" show.
It had me from the get-go, and although I realize not all people view every TV series the same, if you want some of the best damn television ever written then the middle of Season 3 through the series finale is what you want to see.
You gotta see the beginning to get there, and I think you'll have an appreciation for the first/second seasons after you've seen the show from start to finish.

It's one of the best shows ever. I love it all, it does ramp up mid season 3 but that is largely because of what came before it. I think it also jumps up a notch after he becomes Heisenberg.

Really? Season three was actually where I thought the show really became the best thing on television. The first two seasons were damn good and had me wanting more and more but I just really thought that season three is where it hit it's stride. The first half it a bit more slow burning and it snowballs at the end but the season overall is strong to me.

It wasn't a slow burn, it was damn bore.

Re: Breaking Bad - some Questions
For me the show really took off with the crossover episode with the Fresh Prince of Bel-Air. Seeing Carlton having fallen to taking meth was a powerful moment.

Not that it matters at this point, but the answer to both of your questions is "yes". This show was impressive in that it got better and better as the seasons went on. Skylar is annoying, although like someone else said, you can at least sympathize with her plight.

I can honestly say there is not a single episode that I found on any level even slightly boring. To each his own I guess, look at the ratings for the Walking Dead - not that is a boring, crappy show.
