Just started watching Breaking Bad that leaves people frothing at their mouths anytime it is mentioned, but it is boring as hell. Meth cooking teacher and the storyline just drags and drags on. If this is an attempt to character build then either the characters are rubbish as I am not bonding with anyone even though they show a climatic start at each episode.
Edit - Ep 6 Now that is what I'm talking about, finally some action
I didn't really enjoy season 1 of BB at all, like you I thought it was boring but I stuck with it and it gets absolutely fantastic from season 2 onwards. Well worth the grind of season 1 to get to the good stuff.
