*****SPOILER*****Not a bad finish to the whole saga.


Walt gets to look after his family
Hank and Gomez get found
No more Blue meth on the streets of the US of A
Would have liked Jessie to have had some ££€€$$ after everything that went on. Great tv.

But any money that he left with would have been tainted. At least now he might be able to move on.

It was a good ending. A little too perfect though. Getting rid of Lydia and the gang so easily, only for Todd to be left alive so Jesse could kill him? Whatever!

Still think it was completely unrealistic that Jack would have left Walt alive after he killed Hank. I also think Hank was a dick for telling Jack to eff himself when Walt offered all his money for his life. I think Hank should have agreed to keep quiet to save his life, then Jack should have shot him anyway, saying he couldn't trust a "cop".

Hank could have lived and backed down from going after the gang. They just needed to threaten to kill Marie if he didn't just step down from the DEA.

Cracking ending to what I think is probably, on balance, the best TV series I've ever watched; if you haven't, do so at once.

It's good. But I'm a G of T man

Well, finally finished it last night
Excellent series, and often I couldn't call what would happen next.

Up there with The Sopranos (which had a silly ending IMO)

Right...I'm back to watching Box Set of 'Big Bang Theory'. Only recently discovered this, and is sooooooooooo funny. Complete contrast to Breaking Bad!

Just finished watching a marathon of The Wire. BB gets 9.5 on imdb, TW gets 9.4.

While I enjoyed The Wire, Breaking Bad destroys The Wire in the same way as Walter White destroyed Gus Fring.

The big difference for me is that Breaking Bad never had a poor season, whereas The Wire storyline that focussed on the media and McNulty's faux serial killer was just daft. They're both brilliant, but Breaking Bad is brillianter.

just got into this - do not know how I missed it 4 years ago - Great

Agree with the guy above who mentioned the McNulty storyline in Season 5 of The Wire, didn't ruin my enjoyment of the series but they could have gone in so many other different and more interesting directions with the characters they had developed over time. Very disappointed with the ending.

As for BB, haven't seen it all yet and I stupidly half-caught a mini-spoiler reading this page so I won't be on again until I've watched it all!

I loved Breaking Bad but can't believe people are putting it ahead of the Wire. IMO the best tv series ever
