I can understand completely why Breaking Bad was on the verge of cancellation its first two seasons. It was a very difficult watch compared to a program like Justified, which had me hooked from the first episode and has continued to improve through the life of the series.

Breaking Bad's first two seasons were very dark, slow dramas. Unlike Mad Men, I don't like or relate to any of the characters. With Mad Men, I'm just old enough to remember visiting my Dad's office in the late 60's and early 70's to recognize the decorum and overall workplace environment, along with the remembrances of historical events.

With BB, I got nothing, other than the promise that it's an amazing program.

Oh, and I must add that Netflix streaming service, in my experience, is poor. The picture quality is poor, streaming frequently bottle necks and even changing the settings in my account haven't helped. Compared to Amazon Prime's streaming, which has been nothing short of excellent, I give Netflix a D overall.

Good info. Thanks.

I've got Prime under CPs advice for baby stuff, and have begun watching several series', but I understand that Netflix has more options for series. I have a buddy that I watch a lot of shit with and we've been trying to split the cost of seasons and movies and watch them together as our bro-hang out time. Anyway, we've been considering him getting netflix and me keeping prime and getting each others logons and splitting the cost.

He had it a couple years ago and it worked pretty well through my TV, but if the stream quality isn't good, then it may not be a good deal.

I have a fast internet connection, like 21 Mbps, so I shouldn't have any issues. Maybe it's population density but I really didn't like Netflix's message of "try later!" if streaming is poor. I'm usually not watching until 10pm PST, so any later is next to impossible.

Hopefully, you won't have the same issue.

I don't know who your provider is, but there has been a lot of discussion about ISPs intentionally downgrading Netflix traffic. I do wish they had more HD content, but I've been pretty happy with the service.

Time Warner Cable.

Again, no issues with any other streaming, including Amazon Prime.

I know that TWC and Netflix are supposedly negotiating over letting Netflix drop servers directly on the TWC backbone. Probably be a while though.
