Not much of an accomplishment but last week, mostly over Labor Day weekend I watched the entire series of Breaking Bad. Five Seasons, 65 or so shows. They averaged about 46 minutes each, but using Netflix I fast forwarded parts which had the sister and brother-in-law in it. At first I could get through a show in as little as 25 minutes, later as they became more content dense I had longer. Did I lose much comprehension by fast forwarding so much? Maybe, I'm pretty sure the show was about car washes and drugs. What happens when you watch so much crime drama so quickly? For one I feel I could cook up a batch of meth. I've learned crime doesn't pay, and grime is also bad, in the lab. I've learned whether you're an uptight violent gang banger boss or cool quiet meth selling mastermind, it doesn't matter, you'll wind up dead. I've learned whether its your wife or DEA brother-in-law, honesty is the best policy, they'll find out the truth anyway. Geographically I've learned Albuquerque and New Mexico are vast empty wastelands, little different then the Mad Max movies. I don't understand how poor people were able to buy 'a tenth' for $300. It seems crazy expensive. I've learned when crazy high its best to sleep on your side, otherwise you'll choke to death, especially if you're not a main character. Was it worth the huge time investment? I don't know. I've learned mercurry fulminate is cool and blows up on the floor, not in your hands. When to use riic in, when to use Lily of the Valley berries. When to misspell things so I'm not hauled off by the police. Things like that. Unlike many long dramatic series it ended well, no loose ends.. literally. All in all I'd recommend it, and let people know it starts off slowly. Any series you guys recommend??
