I love this show. Am watching 3 episodes a day
on Netflix. It's an adult comic book. The acting
is top notch, the writing is super. It's action from
start to end. It's intrigue and twists and turns.
it's pure Americana. No fantastic locations,
not even good interiors. Just fast paced action
and great acting. Lots of good guest stars.
Nobody could live like this, there is more drama
in one day then most of us experience in a lifetime.
This is what entertainment is about.

You're a little late to this party, Bob. Been discussed a few times at that other site.

I watched the whole series on Netflix in about three weeks except the last season which I downloaded online,

I thought the story started slow, picked up after season one, and ended terribly.
At my age a Life In Prison sentence is not much of a detrrent.

It had to end that way, the creator said
he knew it would when he started the
show. What did you think the point of
of Jax dad having the journal was, or
Jax keeping the notebook for his kids.
Or Jax, season after season, getting
worse and worse in his actions.

They did the same in Breaking Bad.
Walter Whites fate was sealed in season 2
when he let that girl choke in her own vomit
and didn't try to save her. He had to die.
Jax fate was sealed when he shot the
innocent prison guards wife in the head
and shrugged it off as 'collateral damage'.
These are bad people, they had to die.

I didn't necessarily mean that the last episode was bad but the whole last season. The fact that he would die was predictable and proper, I just found myself fast forwarding through many parts of each episode in the last season.

BTW, I thought Breaking Bad ended well. I thought that whole series was great.

I FF'd thru the scenes that were just
women talking to other women, for
the whole season. Women talking
doesn't interest me at all, I figure if
a plot advancement is revealed I'll
find out about it anyway.
