So I'm about 17 years late watching Breaking Bad.....what was I thinking....

I've ragged on this show, and rightfully so. But on a re-watch, some (not all!) of the things that bothered me have faded. There were still flaws, and I'm sure there will be things I'm not crazy about, but I'm actually excited for this. They are going to cover my favorite passage of chapters I've ever read in any book, and I'm actually optimistic they will pull it off.

The second season was much better. The first season was affected by Covid, but also made some awful changes from the book.

It has potential, but is always going to be a niche show.

The Diplomat is such a good show. Keri Russell just killing it again

Welcome to the correct side. The show is fine. There’s a hell of a gap between great and what angry nerds think anything less actually is.

You have not read the books, correct?

I started it about a week ago...Just finished the first season, and I am really enjoying it.

Worth it. I like it a lot although I don't think it's the greatest thing since sliced bread (like a lot of people seem to think).

To me it has a bit of a LOST vibe going, so if you liked LOST good chance you'll like Severance.

I haven’t read the books and have not watched the show, but the snippets I’ve seen the show looks like they received a massive budget that was promptly stolen and gambled away.

Worth it.

I have. The books are also fine.
