Breaking Bad how long will you wait to re-watch?

I've read of some fans of BB re-watching the show at some point.
I binge watched it last year and tbh felt somewhat 'empty' when I'd finished I recall saying I wish I could have it erased from my memory so that I could start all over again!
Some have said re-watching has been enjoyable because although you know the storyline, a second viewing allows you to see things from a different perspective?
Has anyone on DS watched it again and if so how long did you leave it?
Or if you're thinking of watching again, how long do you think you'll wait?

Stay with it, it just keeps getting better and better! IMO!
I did the same thing with the Sopranos - have probably watched that at least 3 times right through.
Watching it nightly with adverts was driving me nuts. Waiting for the next episode especially. So I shall watch the remainder like a box set. Think it's due to finish at the end (or sometime) in July.
I'm also a first time watcher and loving it so will get it on dvd so I can watch a series in one sitting.
How sexy is Jesse's voice
I recently re-watched The Wire for the first time in a few years and really enjoyed it. I'm also planning on re-watching The Sopranos soon, haven't seen that in many years so looking forward to that. I find that re-watching a show like Breaking Bad can be just as or even more enjoyable than watching the first time around as I find I watch it from a different perspective not having to worry about who is who etc.
The second watch through was in HD on a 50" tv, which added a lot to the experience. I rewatched the whole thing while S5 part 2 was on, which I watched week by week. Once the show had finished I binge watched the remaining eps. I saw a lot of different stuff I'd missed the first time round.
Have since dipped in to the odd episode and rewatched S5. It is a compelling show. I also felt the need to check a few references in Better Call Saul (that show is worth a couple of viewings too).
I must admit I thought Better Call Saul was just going to be a money making prequel on the back of BB, but I was pleasantly surprised at the quality and think it held up well on its own merits, enjoyable even if you haven't seen BB, although a better watch if you have!
Does BCS have the same writing/production team does anyone know?
I think most of the Breaking Bad team are working on Better Call Saul
I find I watch season 4 stuff more than others - that's the real meat of the story, with Heisenberg, Gus and the cartel at their peak, with Hank too close for comfort.
Season 5 is maybe more spectacular, but it is more serious with the white supremacists etc.
Thank god for the excellent Better Call Saul, because there is something about Albuquerque and Vince Gilligans productions that are so absorbing.
