It really is the daddy of all things TV. Get the entire box set and watch series one, you will be hooked. Has everything- sadness, tension, laughter, excitement and love.BB - saw some of the first series and never really got into it - does it get better?

I gave up.
Now Homeland, that's FAR better

Sounds like I've missed some good stuff - but I don't really watch much TV stuff.

There is no way Homeland competes with Breaking Bad. Not in a million years. It's been quite good but there has been loads of boredom too. If BB is 9.5/10 Homeland is a solid 8.
As you were.
This season I'm saying. Breaking Bad was good for seasons 1,2 and 4, ok for season 3 and great for season 5. As you were.

, but did you not find it dragged a bit at times? I am only up to S3, which was very good but I certainly found parts of S2 were just boring.

Definitely agree but its all a build up for whats to come. I realise 3 seasons is a huge build up, but within those are some utterly brilliant episodes..
Particularly, for me, season 4 is the best television I have ever watched. Utterly sublime and it would not have worked without the others.

Ok, looking forward to S4 now then. Agree, there have been unforgettable moments so far - Crazy Handful of Nothin from S1, The Plane Crash from S2 and Half Measures from S3 being particularly outstanding.Particularly, for me, season 4 is the best television I have ever watched. Utterly sublime and it would not have worked without the others.

Still incomparable, imo.
I get the virtues of BB, but did you not find it dragged a bit at times? I am only up to S3, which was very good but I certainly found parts of S2 were just boring.This coming from a chap who absolutely loved everything about The Wire.
Depressing to the point that it made me want to climb up to the roof and throw myself off.
I don't know what it was, perhaps the setting of their suburban home or something, but the series just seemed as though it was shot on location in purgatory to me.

How did we end up talking BB on this thread?... aplols... as you were.
Homeland series 1 was very good. Series 2 and 3 nothing more than middling. This series is excellent. Though it's obviously ridiculous that someone with such major "people issues" as Carrie has would ever get to a position of authority & power in an organisation as rigid as it's portrayed.

THis is what I was getting at earlier.On one hand it doesn't really matter because you have to suspend all your cynicism to enjoy these puerile action thrillers, but I don't understand their need to focus on it so much. Her mental/people issues detract from the plot and realism so much and add nothing, yet are the focal point of each series. It just feels lazy
I don't think it's that crazy that someone as craze as Carrie what to where she is within the remit of the programme...or real life...
Just binge watched around 4/5 episodes...wow, it is ace. For one moment I thought it had gone all American 80's soap when Brody's face popped back up, but that was handled fantastically.
Really got back into this show now.
