Showerthought: I skipped Breaking Bad for 10 yrs because my ex said it was slow, finally watched it last month
Sat down last month and got through all 62 episodes in about 3 weeks. My ex said the first season dragged so I never gave it a shot, but by episode 4 of season 1 I was in. Currently on my second run and catching all the stuff I missed. Anyone else got a show they skipped for way too long based on one person's bad review?

I read somewhere that Breaking Bad had low ratings early on and almost got canned, so your ex wasn't alone in bailing on season 1. The whole first season is only 7 episodes too, so calling it slow when it barely got going always seemed harsh to me. A buddy of mine put off The Wire for like 8 years because his roommate called it boring, then he crushed all 5 seasons in a month. Goes to show one person's take can cost you a decade of good TV.
