[maxh]

One of friends sent me this - it's actually pretty good advice!

Not a bad assessment. I would add.
9) Don't always aim to be the top quality in the top market. (cocaine) there is a big niche being the best in a mainstream unsexy product(meth).
10) keep your family out of the business.

Yep, i agree, great advice and relevant to many businesses.
Genius

Lol.

Breaking bad is probably the best TV Crime Drama ever made.

I would never take any business advice from any of them though LOL, cooking meth in a caravan for a business ,, hell no ! LOL

 

[keeron]

Well advice inside the url is really good. it helps lots of people here.

After using this website, it seems not many people have a sense of humour in here.

I know its a business forum but damn, wheres the humour ?

I was joking around lol!

Wife and I have been following this series since the start and I have come to the conclusion that the programme itself is addictive!

It is of course based on the German legend of 'Faustus' and and his pact with the Devil. And like Faustus, he goes to Hell and Gretchen (Jessie) finds redemption!

Its the most addictive series ive ever seen.

I only decided to first watch it last year, and luckily i had the first 5 series to watch.

I watched the whole 5 series in like 2-3 weeks, i watched like 4 episodes a night LOL

I know people who watch BB continuously, stopping only to eat and sleep and then 'shooting-up' on the next episodes.

Same applies to the Bourne trilogy. Similar people (in some cases the same people who now are sitting down to watch all five seasons in a week) would watch all three films in one sitting.

Lol, another rule is too not keep a present from a recently murdered business associate as toilet reading material.

So...am I the only one who wasn't that satisfied with the finale?

SPOILERS BELOW (probably)

Really? I found it incredibly cathartic. Jesse is free, Walt killed Nazis and had a moment of self-clarity. Was it too succinct, did the finales neat outcome not sit right with you?

It was too neat. After the devastating events in the previous episodes; the unceremonious execution of Hank and torture of Jesse I was hoping for something as equally jarring.

Neat is fine, but this series deserved an ending people will remember for ever.

Walt didn't deserve things to work out for him.

For sure this finale made me feel completed, like "ah that's that all wrapped up in a neat little package"

But I would have preferred "Oh my god, I can't believe they did that! No other show will ever have such a monumental ending, no other network would dare broadcast something so visceral and cutting!"

Interesting, I see where you're coming from as to me the best series ending was from Shield, as it accomplished much of what you've posited. However, Breaking Bad to me works better as a succinct character study, having Walt 'get away with it' was a fitting epilogue to the 'true finale' (IMO) that was Ozymandias.
