Disappointing ending though - maybe Breaking Bad set the bar too high.

Unlike so many shows, the final episode is perfect...

As good an ending as BB.

IMHO

Watched from beginning to end over the last few weeks (Netflix).

Very good - what next?
Any recommendations for Netflix/Amazon Prime essential viewing of a similar quality?
The Shield...it is fantastic smile

Dunno. There were times in BB when her sister (whose name escapes me) looked moderately appealing and I'm pretty sure she would be a 3 pinter by normal standards!

I'll second true detective series 1 to fill the void left by BB.

Very tense and a decent ending. Darker than BB without the humour.

I felt the opposite. I like the ending of TD but BB annoyed me.

yes Brilliant and heavily influenced many shows that came after.

The Shield has one of the best endings ever, perfect.

Just finished BB again, its even better 2nd time around smile

Close call between this and the Shield for me, I think BB is probably the better show overall but if I had to take one box set to a desert island it'd probably be the shield. Fantastic.

Does anyone know where I can get the small webisodes? (Except lovefilm/amazon.....the thieving bds)

Nice recommendation. Watched season one over the long weekend. thumbup

Also enjoying Californication - really has me laughing at the telly which is rare for me. I've seen several say it runs out of steam but season one was excellent and half way through season two and still loving it. thumbup

Not watched so much telly in years - enjoying it though. paperbag

Late to this thread but just spent the few weeks working through the whole thing culminating in the final episode last night.

What a great show! Didn't pull any punches, so many twists and turns and unexpected events. Interesting characters that weren't rushed and allowed to develop in their own time (good acting too - no obvious weak links at all). Very well filmed with some great direction. Well worth the praise people are giving it.

Recommended to anyone who hasn't started yet!

Just finished season 4 last night and now I'm really looking forward to starting season 5. If they'd ended it there I wouldn't have been mad. Great programme.

Makes sense. It has a very closed feel to it.
