For a variety of reasons, I happened to get Netflix at precisely the moment I had to eliminate my entire entertainment budget (only reason I was able to go to the Protomen was because I paid for the tickets weeks ago), so it's been getting a pretty hefty workout. I watched all of Breaking Bad, as I mentioned, and then moved on to Weeds because I have had a schoolboy crush on Mary Louise Parker for decades, and also Arrested Development because everybody's been bugging me about it for years.
Conclusions thus far: Breaking Bad is some of the best television ever made Weeds is not bad but I think I'd have liked it more if I'd watched it before Breaking Bad, which is both more dramatically compelling and more laugh-out-loud funny. But even nearing fifty, Mary Louise Parker's smile can still light up a room, so I continue. And I liked Arrested Development better when they were poor and it was called Titus.
I can't really get into Breaking Bad. I've watched the first 2 eps and not really hooked yet.
ReplyDeleteIt takes some getting used to, particularly since it's so different from almost anything else on TV... but once it gets going, it's amazing watching the ideas on display.
