The show is great, yes. But the last season wasn’t that good.

The show in early seasons had this feeling of being slow, methodical, and grounded in reality. The last season simply was not. The compound final scene in particular was almost comical in the number of coincidences needed for it to work that perfectly. Yes, the Hank final moment was legendary, but it seems they couldn’t figure out what to do after that. The ending of this show is only praised cause in comparison every other show of the time had dumpster fire endings.

Feel free to call me a retard but at least make a compelling argument as to why.

No

why not? nobody expected that to happen.

They needed more scenes with the Nazis. They were entertaining

season 5a you mean? i don't know how you can talk shit about the last 8 eps... that was one of the most successful final stretches of a show i've ever seen

If walt was the bad guy all along why did they need to bring in le evil nazis for him to beat

Breaking Bad was always a goofy live action cartoon for adults.

come on I love breaking bad and I agreed than 5 is by far worse than the other seasons but it always had over the top and nonsensical moments
"this is not meth" scene was cool but also capeshit tier lets be honest

>>212855738 (OP)
season 5 only exists because of the show's immense success. Walt was never supposed to lose in the end and that's why he's the ultimate anti-hero, he's supposed to piss off the audience and still come out on top. but now that season 5 exists it's just another "lesson learned" show.

ok so part if the appeal of the show is that the writers put characters into near impossible situations to cleverly get them out it. Drama, suspense, stakes, kino.

“this is not meth” was an example of the writers backing Walt into so deep a corner that a capeshit tier move was the only thing that would get him out of it.

this is purely a zoomer opinion. all of us who were watching it at the time loved season 5.
>make a compelling argument
you didn't

>>212855855
no. in reality walt would have been caught or killed way sooner. he has lottery winning luck to be running around his hometown as a most wanted felon. They fixed this in BCS. Saul was captured pretty much as soon as his name was mentioned.

YOU make a compelling argument as to why it was. Reading comprehension is a valuable skill.

smartest breaking bad hater

Breaking Bad was always shaky but it really turned to shit when it hit streaming and Vince reworked everything to cater to Netflix watchers
