    I've watched every episode.

    It's great to look at but ultimately hollow. Another "Emperor's New Clothes" hyped by people that want to look cool. I admit it, I was suckered in for a while, but realised that it just wasn't going anywhere and had nothing to say to me. And that's coming from someone (me) who loves the 1950's.

          EDIT. Now watching Breaking Bad S02E02 in my lunch break this is a show I really like!

                I have 1 more ep to watch before I get to that one (might watch it now actually). That clip seems to indicate no improvement in the clarity of purpose/communication between Jesse and Walt
