Watching Breaking Bad for the first time sort of on a whim. How do they manage to squeeze so much pain into every minute of every episode? At any rate, don't seem like I'm saying anything new but Cranston's and Paul's acting are supernatural.

I feel like they squeeze more and more pain into it as it goes along too. Some episodes in the final season are just crushing.

From what I hear (and this is just speculation i'm on the 5th book at this point), that book 6 works as an ending on its own, and books 7-9 sort of continue off from that. Sort of like a Dragonball -> DBZ situation. That's not to say they won't try and condense them all into one season, but we will see.

Yeah I stopped after 6 and would agree. A lot of the books are arc endings though and not cliffhangers so it's not really like GOT.

Edit:Wait this is about the expanse right? Not His dark materials?

LOL, I initially thought the convo was about His Dark Materials but then realized it was Expanse talk. I haven’t read either but I’ve watched and enjoyed The Expanse.

I think His Dark Materials is just a trilogy except The Book of Dust trilogy that isn't finished yet. Not sure if the show will go there or be the main trilogy. Haven't seen it.

I only made it a few episodes in to the Expanse but I would like to watch it eventually.

... at times. The good definitely outweighs the bad but their are some real stinkers in their too. The first 2 seasons and the last season are pretty great.

Just started season 2, but logically im thinking the roadmap for the entire series probably plays out with lots of dumb drama wrapped up in the reelection section of the series and then back to the day to day political stories as it rolls into the final season. It's a very fortunate show in that it managed to arrange a fantastic cast. If one of these actors werent in their roles and were replaced by someone else, I dont know if I'd like it as much as I do.

Don't get me wrong I love West Wing too for the most part. I enjoy the unfettered liberal idealism. Sorkin had a lot to do with it's success but when he had to step aside for awhile to deal with his cocaine issues/burnout you really feel it.
