Reviews

AMC's first original series, Mad Men, just this week won Best Drama and Best Actor Golden Globes. It looks great, something different, it has a short season, I'll be watching.

 

I love Brian Cranston so Im definitely there.

 

If I saw that thread I would've posted but I guess it got lost over the holidays.

 

I want to see this show, but I don't have AMC. I'll see it online sometime I gues.

 

fixed, next time don't use the brackets, they screw up the search

 

Bryan Cranston is a huge dodger fan, so I'm there.

 

yep, saw it and liked it.

 

Liked it.

Could tell the pilot was not meant for AMC. Seemed like it was suppose to be on Showtime or HBO. I think the swears and nudity will prolly be completely non existent cuz they'll prolly fashion the show to be shown on AMC. Idunno if thats good or bad though. The bleeped swears and blurred nudity might lend more realism.

 

It was originally made for FX and while they liked it just didn't think advertisers would buy a show with Bryan Cranston as the lead.

But you should check out AMC's first original series Mad Men, (SHH thread) that airs after the Breaking Bad Encore on Sunday nights. A few degrees less than FX on what's accepted for language/sex but still more than what you would expect from AMC.
But very well done, and remained consistent for the 13 episodes so Breaking Bad won't shift into TV G next week. They've established these characters, muting out the swears is fine.

Excellent pilot, good new television on Sunday nights.
Walter went from Mr.Straight to cooking meth, killing drug dealers and having dirty sex in no time.

 

great show! my new fav of 08.

 

lol, I can't wait to see what he does if he goes back to the classroom.

 

Here's all the airings for the next month.

Favourite part of the show last night.
Walter and his wife...

Cranston should get an Emmy nod. Holding back the sadness knowing he wouldn't see his daughter turn 1.

 

The acid part was gross

 

Perhaps the most disturbing murder scene I've seen in a long time. I watch 24 and The Shield but something

Spoiler

about being choked by a bike lock against a pole and being stabbed with a broken piece of a plate just did something to me.

And it was done by Walter White not Jack Bauer or Tony Soprano or Vic Mackey but still believable.

Loved the missing piece scene. Only 4 episodes remain, is everyone going to survive?

 

Its up there but that beating with the chain in one of the later episodes of TheShield was pretty disturbing. Although maybe because Walter is so normal that makes it that much more distrubing

 

Looks really good. Wanted to catch it.

 

Also, Walter was going to release him and let him live.

 

That's the part that really got to me. If Vic Mackey kills someone, it's shocking if he does it in an unusual way but it's not necessarily that shocking because he's ****ing Vic Mackey. He kills people; that's a big part of what he does.

Walter is a perfectly normal person, so it's a lot easier to put yourself into his shoes. I found myself questioning what I would do in Walter's situation, but I never wonder what I would do in Mackey's situations because they're totally unfathomable to me. I could never conceivably be in those situations because I'm not the same kind of person Mackey is.

 

I ask you, Has there been anything as captivating recently??????????
