Ditto to James' remarks. We didn't get to see Season 1 or 2 at all and am not exactly sure where we're up to, and I was a bit ho hum about it to start with, but now we wouldn't miss it!
SEMI SPOILER (if you haven't seen it)
Re: Dogglebe's remarks about Walter's descent into evil - the episode where he could have saved a female character... but ultimately lets her die, is alternately revolting and breathtaking.
Well in Walt's defense that girl was a bitch and was blackmailing him, so he did what he had to do, and I was glad he did it, plus it's great drama, but Walt does much worse later on in the series involving a child. I have no moral problem with Walt, I think he's awesome, yeah he makes meth, but he does what he does to achieve his goal. Walter White RULES!!! Plus I love Hank and Goodman and Mike, those are awesome characters and Gus is a great villain. The show gets better and darker with each season.
I'm seconding BWCF's opinion (hmmm, is that the best way to handle that name?)
Jesse's GF was blackmailing Walter. If he saved her - which he started to do at first - there was no guarantee whatsoever that she wouldn't turn on him later. She said that very thing when they made the exchange. Not to *justify* the action, but it's a legitimate concern that would lead a character who is essentially good...at least at first...to make an evil decision. That's the beauty of the series!!
As for selling meth. Frankly, I believe drugs should be regulated, but legal. So that part of his crimes doesn't bug me at all...
The only character that I didn't enjoy from the start was the wife. And now she's growing on me a bit. The son - very nice kid, though his character is a little under-used and one-note. At least through the end of Season 4...
Pia, I don't think you're dense!!!! Seriously - I could see someone missing that line...
A cold thing to do? Yes. But honestly... I'm not sure I wouldn't have done the same thing in Walter's situation. It's not like he killed her. Just let her die from her own actions...
(Great, now everyone on SS is going to think I'm evil, too...)
Anybody else, since Pia just watched season 2, love the "Seven Thirty-Seven Down Over ABQ" payoff? I always thought that was so awesome, the way they worked that in. Of course, it was explained (By Gilligan) that season two was the only one that had been planned beginning to end before they started writing it. That's probably why it's still my favorite season.

What's funny is, I was doing work in ABQ when my wife started making us watch BB. We were hooked and didn't know it was set in ABQ until we started watching it.
Pia, my wife and I still talk about Walt and the very issue you are bringing up. We also like Walt Jr., but Walt is an interesting character enough that you kind of want to watch to see how all of his crazy scheming pays off - and who gets screwed over.

Okay, so I have now watched through season 3. I still have a big moral issue with this show, but I agree that it is a pretty fantastic show. I even ordered all four seasons for my son and one of my son-in-law! Yeah, it's that good.

A lot of people said that was the best episode. I stand by it being the weakest, with the exception of season 1. I will say, though, that the "One Minute" sequence was shot perfectly. Good times.
You're certainly in for interestingness in season 4, Pia. =)
I watched the first episode and that might be as far as I get. Wasn't all that crazy about it. Seems like a Weeds rip-off without as much humour. Also the protag is a lot less likable.

I enjoyed the first season, but I wasn't trying to be on the couch every Sunday to watch it. I guess I was bored and started catching up on the second season. I watched it week to week during the third season and by the end of the fourth season, I can argue with anyone to why it is one of the top ten tv shows in history. I would recommend sticking with it.

Here here! Terrific show! Great characters, character development, constant suspense and twists. It takes alot for me to care about a tv show. This one more than succeeded.

The first season is by far the weakest. At least give it until the second, that's where things pick up. By the fourth, you'll see why it's so acclaimed.
