Yeah it's a reall strong show. My only critique is some of the dialogue between Jesse and Walt seems a little strained at points, there could have been alot more done on that front. Seems to be confined to calling each other assholes.
Other than that its really watchable nonsense, I loved the scene in the restuarant about halfway through season 2. You get a proper cheeser moment. And you do find yourself rooting for them too which is good.
Too depressing? What kind of tv do you watch, teletubbies?
