Breaking Bad ratings by episode chart
(files.catbox.moe)
is that that fly episode?
Yup. I was curious too.
I actually liked that episode, but I can see why it's rated lower.
7.9 ain’t even bad, its firmly in the “good” bracket for IMDB.
It's a pretty strong signal though when the rest are high 8s or 9s.
A lot of people don't get episodes that do not "progress the story" and tend to see it as "filler episodes" instead of fresh and artistic experiments by the creators. I think a series like Atlanta (which is fantastic) would be impossible to enjoy for that type of people.
Same immediate thought
That's one of my favorite episodes, damn.
Same but I can see why it's polarizing
I knew before checking that S3E10 would be “Fly”. That episode was clever and won critical acclaim, but I found it annoying and couldn’t wait for it to be over.
And the best episode (of any TV show ever, according to some folks), S5E14 “Ozymandias”, had the same writer and director as “Fly”.
When I saw that chart, I figured it might be that episode. I re-watched BB a few weeks ago but skipped that episode completely. I don't believe the story actually progresses in it so nothing is lost by skipping it
Came to say, I'm assuming the yellow one was the fly. Fuck that episode.
The fly took the hit so that there was the money to do the end of the season in style and it's still paying the price
First time around I didn't enjoy the fly, but second watch through it felt like a moment for the pace to slow but characters stress to come to the forefront.
Would there be bias in that only people who enjoyed the first few seaons, would continue and watch/rate the later ones. I know I stopped early season 3 because it just wasn’t doing it anymore.
The funny thing about that to me is that the end of season 3 is when it goes from "good" to "holy shit this is amazing!" And keeps going up from there.
There may be some survivorship bias, but the show absolutely gets better as it goes on.
You’re telling me I quit right at the wrong time. That’s what my friends told me too ahha
Dat E2-4 slump
