re: breaking bad, i didn't actually watch it until last year, but the thing about it is that it really does live up to all the hype. i was expecting to be disappointed by it, and then i wasn't. it's clearly dated in some ways but i don't think that's a bad thing necessarily... overall i would say the casting choices, the characters, the setting, the story - all iconic. it's actually amazing and deserves to be considered one of the best. plus the memes are great, which helps a lot
