I simply thought White was a humongeous piece of shit, I and got into endless arguments with real life friends about it every time we watched the show, and THEN….that one episode where White told Sky that he did it all because he ENJOYED it….not for the money, not for his family but because he was a sadistic, egotistical maniac and didn't give a shit about anyone that he hurt along his way. That was finally the truth, I considered it my vindication, and swore never to rewatch a series that I only enjoyed because I kept praying that half the cast would meet a violent, painful and prolonged demise. Fin.

JDR, you'd need to view it to understand, I guess. Or maybe I'm the only person that found it just fraking odd. Shrug.
I have watched the first episode. It's standard comedy-drama and doesn't seem particularly different than the rest of them to me.

I believe my error might be expecting Sci-fi channel shows to be on par with Battlestar Galactica. I may need to seriously curtail my expectations.
I started hunting down episodes of The Mandalorian. Usually I'm not into Star Wars products anymore, but it was mentioned a few times here and there so I had to check it out. Watched the 2 first episodes, so far so good

With the shoddy turn Expanse took in the fifth series, I found the need to enrich myself with some decent telly, and started re-watching two excellent shows: Americans, and Leftovers. Man, these are two stellar shows, neither are particularly long in the tooth, each have a decent cast with great stories. I imagine a show like Leftover might not get much viewing these days, as the situation within the show might be comparable to Covid. In any case, I'm enjoying them both, they are palate cleansers and got rid of some nasty telly grit that was lingering in my mind.

I recently saw the Leftovers, a couple of months ago I think. During the pandemic. Yeah, the first season was tiring to get through. But in the end it was worth it.

The reason is now nonexisting tweets. Won't go into the substance as I don't care about social networks spams people mostly do while drunk or high, but…
Moral of the story - if you don't want to lose your job, uninstall twitter.

Bah I've been saying that for years.
Good luck getting the rest of the world to agree. Shame the twitter outrage mob got her fired. Still cancel culture must go on. Who's next the mob needs a new target?

Seems she mocks people for wearing masks, and compares pushback against her political views to the suffering of the jews under the Nazis. So, a moron, then. But I'm not seeing anything all that egregious. And if we fire all the mouthy morons, it's going to get very hard to find a taxi.

It's funny because Disney has authors who write worse stuff and their still employed.

Never heard of that actor, but twatter I've heard of, and have avoided since it's conception. Letting no accounts accost you from basement dwellings rather than face you man to man is a one way ticket to psychosis. Honestly, just hearing or reading the term "social media" is enough to make large portions of my skin crawl.
She should have been let go long before that anyways simply because she can't act. I have nothing against her, but she was a *terrible* fit for Star Wars.
I liked Breaking Bad, but I had a hard time enjoying it, because of the extremely unsympathetic nature of the main character. Nothing so much due to morals (I think), but my emotional reactions were quite uncomfortable.

I've said this for many decades: Speech is free, a person can say whatever they wish, but also prepare to be ridiculed if you wave your ignorance in other peoples' faces. And if you actually insult or denigrate someone, well, I hope a bout of fisticuffs isn't something you're afraid of.

I'm surprised people have a bad reaction to Walter White, from Breaking Bad. I've only seen season 1 and I plan on seeing the rest when Better Call Saul finishes. But as far as I've seen him I was sympathetic to his plight. Maybe he becomes a lot more sociopathic later on? But don't spoil it for me. I've already been spoiled on the ending.
I've been meaning to check out this series for a long time, and I've finally seen the first episode, and I have to say I like what I'm seeing. It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia. I'll see how it progresses further on. One interesting thing is that it's on the 14th season now, and it's already been greenlit for 4 more seasons. I'm not sure I've seen this type of confidence from studios that finance series.

The show is called Breaking Bad because it's about why people do bad things. People can become a monster one step at a time, the old slippery slope.
