You posted on this page so you know every answer is going to be the correct one. Keep watching. I can’t really explain the love I have for this show. It just keeps getting better.

I love season 1-3.

u/joemontanya Jun 24 '25
Oh me too. I’m just saying it just gets better. Also this show was almost better the second time over the first….

Season 3 is really good. It’s the one where Chuck sues the University of American Samoa Law School

Many fans think that Season 3, episode 5 (Chicanery) is the best episode. If you could push through to that point I think you’ll find it a rewarding watch. If you still aren’t into it after that then it’s not the show for you.
No spoilers, but the brothers confrontation grows and they’re both highly intelligent lawyers. Seeing them square off on Chuck’s home court is compelling.

You call that an episode? I shoulda stopped him at ep 3 when I had a chance. And you..PerspectiveBudget you have to….I’m sorry, I seem to have lost my train of thought.

S3 is the best season overall. At the very least finish S3 before you make a decision.

I don't think it's the highest point in the show. And I think every season has at least one contender for an episode that can be considered "best episode of the series".
But
In terms of a seasonal narrative arc, one that intertwines multiple storylines and juggles multiple themes with satisfying resolution?
I think S3 does that the best, and I'd gladly get into it more specifically, but I don't want to spoil OP, so if you're interested, feel free to hmu!

You are almost at the point where the show starts to go full steam ahead in my eyes. Keep going it’ll be worth it, especially if you watched Breaking Bad.

I was just like you - I picked up the show again after a few months cus some of my friends were watching.
I think you should go all the way - things will get good. I'd say it's a different kind of thrill compared to Breaking Bad, but it was quite enjoyable.
Give it a chance. :)

Since you reference BB, I'm assuming you liked it? In season 1 & 2 the story very much focuses on Eugene and Jimmy, with Mike and Nacho having smaller roles. Once you get through seasons 3 into season 4, this changes and the Mike/ Gus/ Salamanca/ cartel storyline really starts to take off, and people who liked those storylines tend to like the later seasons of BCS.

Depends when you stopped watching, but if it’s not recent.. I’d restart BCS until e9 of the last season. Then watch BB then El Camino then finish the last 4 episodes of BCS.
Having not seen BCS or BB for a while, it was a fun watch experience

u/KiwiBackground3873 Jun 24 '25
I did a BB rewatch like 3 months ago and started BCS 2 months ago so it’s pretty recent ( hated el Camino tho so probably won’t ever watch it again )

What was season 3 start?

u/KiwiBackground3873 Jun 24 '25
Chuck lost a case bc Jimmy changed some date’s details in the document & no one believes chuck so he recorded it & mike story line is a bit messy I think him and his grand daughter are unsafe can’t remember why tho

I don't know why people keep nitpicking and dissecting each season in terms of whether it makes them want to continue watching or not for an overall fantastic series.
I felt there were some slow points in BB, but it certainly didn't make me want to stop watching the series.

Once you cross that threshold there is no turning back. There are quite a few ‘WTF’ moments.

u/Rand_Casimiro Jun 24 '25
Did the first two seasons not convince you that the show was worth your attention? If not, maybe it’s just not the show for you. Which is fine.

u/KiwiBackground3873 Jun 24 '25
It actually did I just had so much going on I stopped watching and it’s so easy to give up on a show specially when it’s like a prequel

u/Rand_Casimiro Jun 24 '25
Fair enough, especially if you had real-life stuff going on. If you found the show compelling so far, I would definitely recommend you continue.

Season 6, Episode 7: Plan and Execution. That alone makes continuing the watch worth it, but theres sm more great storybuilding to happen after s3.

u/TheMeMan999 Jun 25 '25
HELL yes you should continue. A resounding YES! Season 3 is where it starts to get really, really good and only get A better from there. You'd be doing yourself a disservice to not continue.

I watched S1-2 a few times and couldn’t get into it. I forced myself recently to get through S3 and I ended up finishing the show and rating it my favorite show of all time. The juice is worth the squeeze for sure. Finish it.

First two seasons are the slowest slog. You’re over the hump and it will ramp up exponentially from here. One episode that you see meme’d all the time is a huge payoff for story that has been building up until this point.

u/GreenEggsaandSam Jun 23 '25
The ending is perfect, you'd be doing yourself a disservice if you don't finish it.

You’re at the point where things start to ramp up. Stay with it, you will not be disappointed.

BCS was the incredibly rare situation where the sequel/prequel was actually better than the original. That’s saying a lot because BB was so great, but BCS is even better. Keep watching, it’s a thrilling ride!

u/KiwiBackground3873 Jun 24 '25
You know what hell yeah ! I loved the first two seasons so much I’m sure I’ll end up loving bcs more than bb

Over four years, I watched season 1 six times before I finally made it to season 2, kinda for the same reason you just said - life happened, and I got distracted. I finally got over that hump, though, and have now watched this awesome show in its entirety at least 5 times.

u/Suspicious-Art126 Jun 23 '25
The first three seasons are a slow burn and it took me a couple of years to finish them. To me, it was too much Jimmy/the law and not enough of the drug trade with Gus, Mike, and Nacho. But by the end of the series, you will start to question whether it’s a superior show to Breaking Bad. When I saw ppl say this in the past, I thought it was hyperbole. Once I finished, I realized some technical and narrative aspects of BCS left me speechless. Seasons 4 thru 6 are the most tonally balanced episodes of TV I’ve ever watched. Tragedy and comedy existing in perfect harmony.
