This is my opinion and i respect what others might think of these series. Season 1 was good. The pace was slow but we were okay with it because the introduction of the characters is really important. We really enjoyed it but we were hoping for a better pacing in the next seasons. Season 2, we got exactly what we wanted in the first two episodes, where Tuco kidnapped Pinkman and Walter but after that, we were really disappointed, waiting for an entire season for the story to advance. All of the episodes were like Skyler going to work? The White Family having breakfast ? Hank's wife stealing ? really ? no story advancing, no action, no thrill, no drama ... We really thought about dropping it but people keep saying that it gets better. Season 3 was the same as the previous season in its first half, but after Gus Fring started having a more important role, we started enjoying the show once again. Season 4 and 5 were so great and we were thankful because Breaking Bad did not turn out to be as bad as we predicted it to be in season 2. Overall the show was amazing but at some point it is very slow paced.
