How to watch the Breaking Bad series?

Hi Folks

What is the best way to watch the Breaking Bad episodes on line?

Do I have to pay anything?

Thanks

Netflix is only six quid a month, plus you get a ton of other stuff, and Better Call Saul when it debuts.

Or just buy the DVDs.

The first month is free for netflix as well

Whilst sat on your ample arse showing a load of food in your gob - as I'm doing now.:D

Definitely binge watch......don't try to spin it out an episode a night. I tried that at first and was practically wishing my life away to get to 8pm every night. After a couple of seasons hubby and I stocked up on snacks, took the duvet downstairs and bedded in for the long haul.

I wish so much I was a BB virgin and I could recapture the excitement I felt watching for the first time. But then every time I've watched since I've seen more.

Thanks folks.

It seems as though it's addictive!!

I will try this. Been wanting to watch for a while.

Bit smug of me, but I was a Breaking Bad fan from 2009 when it was first on FX (now Fox).

Was a good three or four years before anyone started caring about how much I raved over the show.

Back in the FX days it was an agonising once a week job. Netflix and on-demand streaming was a fantasy back then

Netflix is the best way. (Well the only way unless you buy the box set.)

Sign up for the free months trial and cram all the seasons into 30 days and then don't renew it or cancel

I just kept signing up to Netflix with different email addresses to get free months, did that for 3 months but I'm paying monthly now as it's worth it for me.

I wasn't aware of Breaking Bad until Netflix took off, how this show went unnoticed for so long I do not know.

Well, the only completely unquestionably legal way. Obviously there is torrent but that might not strictly be legal. Of course one might have a mate who downloaded it before it was on sale in the shops so he will give you it, not sure if that is legal or not.

To clarify, both flat out illegal, whether morally justifiable or not is irrelevant. Sony Pictures owns the copyright, and by downloading it you violated that, but they generally only go after uploaders

If ya wanna watch BB get yourselves a netflix & annual unblockus sub, (u get 2 month free!) 👍 ... Best TV money you guys will ever spend! 👍

I started watching 6 months ago and it took me a while but once I got to the middle of Season 2 I was addicted. I'm currently on the penultimate episode of Season 3.

You don't need Unblock US for Breaking Bad

derek500 · 08/12/14 - 09:55

We watched the first season on FX HD, the second on 5USA.

We watched about 20 more episodes on a Netflix free month's trial last year and last month we were offered another free trial and have just finished the complete series.

It's taken us five years, but worth it.

Make sure you have subtitles on, there is a lot of Spanish spoken.

I bought the first two series on DVD back in 2010, and then there was a massive gap before Season 3 and 4 were available. It was such a wait I ended up importing the DVD's from Amazon Germany as they seemed to have them way before the UK. I couldn't wait another minute to see where it went and I don't regret it for a second, one of the best shows ever made. Then I watched Season 5 on Neflix along with the rest of the world.

The chap asked a question, not begged for a lecture. I don't violate anything, just answer questions. Do you prefer lying to giving information?

If you go the 1 month free trial way, take care to avoid "Orange is the new Black". That'll have you hooked in for a longer haul....

Started watching the first episode and just couldn't get into that at all.

It's not easy taking anything starring Jason "American Pie" Biggs seriously!

OITNB takes a couple of episodes to warm up. For me, I was hooked by ep3.

Sez_babe · 10/12/14 - 12:25

I'm now on Season 4 episode 2 and it just gets better and better. I think the writing for Jesse is particularly amazing and Aaron Paul is an amazing actor. Bryan Cranston just makes it look effortless as well. Love this show!
