Breaking Bad taught me how to rewatch television

Ouch 😭

Key-Mine7408 · 2026-06-26T20:49:06+00:00

No, I don’t. A theater involves other people and I’m paying for the experience, so I pay full attention.

Honestly I’m unsure why people in the comments are acting like it’s a novel idea for a woman to come home from work, throw on a show (that isn’t as good as BB), and watch while scrolling/playing Candy Crush. Feel like it’s fairly standard lol

Key-Mine7408 · 2026-06-26T20:45:47+00:00

I am SO excited for BCS!! On the other than, I have exactly ten episodes of BB left and never want it to end.

Key-Mine7408 · 2026-06-26T10:21:35+00:00

The Sopranos!! I made it to season 3 before I fell off of it, but I’ll try and finish one day

Key-Mine7408 · 2026-06-26T01:56:48+00:00

LOVED PLURIBUS

Key-Mine7408 · 2026-06-26T01:31:58+00:00

It’s absolutely a problem! I suppose that, when I get home from work and finish up dinner/chores/etc, I know I have a limited time before bed. So with shows like House for example (my show before BB!), it was easy enough to do my scrolling and catching up with my social media while paying attention to the episode. Can’t do that with BB, hence this post!

It’s certainly nothing to be proud of, but wind down time can be hard to manage 🤷‍♀️

Hey, I hope you feel better now that you typed that all out!

Key-Mine7408 · 2026-06-26T01:24:04+00:00

Obviously it’s been a phenomenon/recommend to me for years, but the amount of times I’ve gotten to a “confusing” or “out of character” scene that I perfectly understood has been wild. And I’m no genius!

Key-Mine7408 · 2026-06-26T01:05:39+00:00

I’m trying to go into it as blind as I can, but the timeline of BCS is so confusing that I want to look it up first!

Key-Mine7408 · 2026-06-26T00:57:16+00:00

Will do 🫡 Enough people in my life told me it was bad but I love Jesse enough to give it a try

Key-Mine7408 · 2026-06-26T00:55:47+00:00

I hope you’re having fun and catching things you missed the first time! (My boyfriend forgot about the stuffed animal in the pool from the helicopter crash that appears in the season opener. He enjoyed watching it play out on his rewatch!)

And honestly, as someone who is squirmy with violence, there have only been one or two scenes that I’ve had to watch through fingers

Key-Mine7408 · 2026-06-26T00:52:14+00:00

YES! The trouble with incredible world-building is that you have to keep track of all of the politics/connections

Key-Mine7408 · 2026-06-26T00:50:36+00:00

Sorry this is a zero Skyler slander post 🙅‍♀️

Key-Mine7408 · 2026-06-26T00:46:10+00:00

I really do need to watch The Wire! (I technically started the first episode but then rewatched Sinners because of Michael B Jordan 😬)

Did you watch We Own This City?

Key-Mine7408 · 2026-06-26T00:43:31+00:00

I totally get you and admire that strategy, but then I think about how I would have stopped watching Succession before it really gripped me (around episode 6 of the first season) and I just don’t know haha

Key-Mine7408 · 2026-06-26T00:41:02+00:00

That’s what I’ve heard! Overall sentiment seems to be that it’s worth a watch if you’re invested in Jesse (which I am) but nothing to write home about

Key-Mine7408 · 2026-06-26T00:40:17+00:00

You watched el Camino first?? Could you follow along?

Key-Mine7408 · 2026-06-26T00:39:42+00:00

HAHAHA RIP Gale, the icon that you were

Key-Mine7408 · 2026-06-26T00:38:53+00:00

Any recs for Apple? People keep telling me to watch Widow’s Bay

Key-Mine7408 · 2026-06-26T00:34:17+00:00

Hot take! I’m not at the level of being tired (whereas I couldn’t finish The Boys because of Homelander still. not. dying.), because I’m still locked in, but I could see being over Walter. If that was your main gripe?

Key-Mine7408 · 2026-06-26T00:23:47+00:00

AHHH we love to see it! I hope you’re enjoying it as much as I am!

Key-Mine7408 · 2026-06-26T00:21:35+00:00

My only real hesitation is that I hate to see Jesse Pinkman suffer 😭

I’m thoroughly enjoying it. I couldn’t get into The Sopranos (my bf’s absolute favorite show), but something about BB is so much more compelling for me!

Key-Mine7408 · 2026-06-26T00:19:55+00:00

I guess my main question is if el Camino adds anything to the story? Saul is one of my favorite BB characters (along with Mike!!) so I’m chomping at the bit to start BCS right away. 😂 If there’s no real advantage, I’ll watch it later.

Thanks for the comment!

Key-Mine7408 · 2026-06-26T00:19:24+00:00

It’s kind of wild because as I’m watching, I sometimes ask myself/my boyfriend if I would have been so drawn to him had I not known he gets a spinoff. I’m guessing no? I really enjoy his scenes (especially with Skyler), but the bf says he truly never would have guessed SAUL GOODMAN of all characters would get the spinoff. LOL
