But seriously, I need to start from episode 1. Not sure if I'll be able to watch it on re-runs, or find someone who owns the DVDs. Or maybe I'll netflix it.

In terms of "If you like shows like____, then you'll like Breaking Bad." What are some examples? I remember this site being huge fans of The Wire, talking it up like its the greatest show ever made. I thought it was a good show, but not great. I'm someone who loved LOST, likes the first 3 seasons of Arrested Development, loves Seinfeld (re-runs), Chapelles Show, Dexter to give you a little taste of my choice of TV.

In those terms I'd say The Wire (which you obviously mentioned) or The Sopranos. Actually the movie Fargo might be a pretty good fit because its similar in tone due to the dark subject matter mixed with black comedy.

I've seen portions of the Sopranos, it was a good show from what I saw.

It's on Netflix.

Try the first 3 episodes or so, although I remember being hooked right away.

No real faults with the show at all. Brilliant writing, acting, production, etc.

I thought the first half of season was good. The second was very good but got cut short during the writer strike so the end feels "Not like an end". Season two really builds on the quality and the show really takes off once Gus is introduced towards the end of that season.

Gotta just plow through it. By seasons 4 and 5 you really start to get the understand you're watching one of the best shows ever.
