Im going to finish Saul then start breaking bad
Breaking Bad lives up to the hype, however, it may not in the beginning, because one of the great aspects of the series is where the character ends up in later seasons compared to where he started.
So I believe it's the totality of the series that is it's greatness and the journey taken, not exactly every individual episode.
Given that, the individual episode called "Ozymandias", which I think is the third to last episode, may be the greatest hour of TV ever. Interesting side not, it was directed by Rian Johnson, the guy who fucked up Episode 8 in Star Wars.
I have BB in my top 5 all time TV series. First for me was The Shield (7 seasons, ONE bad episode, great finale), and #2 was the Battlestar Galactica reboot........after that, it's a bit fluid.
