Re: Breaking Bad

I'm pretty sure there would be a fair amount of enthusiasts from this show being inspired.

Re: Breaking Bad

^that is what I did.. it is indeed a great show! How are they going to stretch this for another 3 seasons ? I hope the quality stays the same.. usually most shows kind of go down after the 1st season

Re: Breaking Bad

^For sure. Love the lighting and camera work. Looks more like a well shot movie than a cable tv show.

Re: Breaking Bad

aside from the story in Breaking Bad, sound, and cinematography are some pretty good shit for a TV show.

Yeahp!
The cinematographer deserves an Oscar.

Re: Breaking Bad

threehills, did you like Mad Men? IMO Mad Men and Breaking Bad are very slow films and you gotta be in it for the long haul. With Mad Men, I didn't think the series peaked till S3 or 4 when Draper's life fell apart and he sat on his bed crying.

But I gotta say, aside from the story in Breaking Bad, sound, and cinematography are some pretty good shit for a TV show.

Re: Breaking Bad

Re: Breaking Bad

^ Very much agree with you - I loved the show, my girlfriend not at all - fell asleep on the 3rd show, mate at work has loved it. For me it was the drama created by dramatic acting and not by background music creating the hype. Another show that cut to the bone for me was "the wire". Hardcore acting with a great storyline that threaded through 5 seasons

Re: Breaking Bad

T.V shows are very individualistic imo. It's a pretty interesting point you bring up, I think they cater for your socialistic needs rather than say like the movies where it caters for emotions, senses, acting and cinematic effects etc. etc,. But I guess some shows do that too..like Breaking Bad

A good example of this would be with me and my girlfriend, I like the show Californication because it depicts a early 40's man who hangs around L.A smoking and sleeping with the hottest girls in town. See now that's every man's dream...girlfriend cannot stand it, as it most probably appeals to the modern machonesique man with an eagerness for babes and weed. I've even said when I hit 40 I want to do the same things the character from the show does.

With T.V your pretty much capturing your show for intended audiences = revenue from advertising. There are so many shows out there but not all can and never will appeal to the masses. But I guess T.V lhas always lacked creativity; same problems, different show. Which, is why Breaking Bad was one of the best I've seen, nothing like this was done before.
