I am sure everyone has thoughts about Breaking Bad being named the #1 TV show of the 21st century by The New York Times, but I went ahead and rewatched the pilot for a podcast that I was on and have thoughts.... I had so much fun.
I forgot how cinematic the pilot of this show was and am really curious if anyone else has recently started from the beginning again?
I was rewatching the pilot episode for a podcast discussion and found myself so entranced by the guys and reflecting on just how much change each character went through. When was the last time you watched the pilot do you think it is a good representation of the show as a whole?
For a podcast I am regularly on I have to watch a ton of TV: some of it is amazing, sometimes it is truly awful. But I love when I come upon a show that I am hesitant to watch and walk away hungry to watch another episode to my own surprise!
What is a tv show that you were surprised you loved? For me the most recent one was the Summer I Turned Pretty as I really didn't think that the show was "for me" but now I absolutely get the hype!
With the finale coming up, a friend and I went back and rewatched the pilot for our podcast, and it was wild seeing how much was already there from the very beginning. So many character dynamics, little moments, and themes hit completely differently now knowing where the story goes.
Curious if anyone else has revisited the pilot recently. What stood out to you most on a rewatch, and did your perspective on any characters change compared to the first time you watched it?
What did everyone think of Big Mistakes? I watched the pilot for a project so that I could participate in a discussion, but am not sure if I should continue or watching it or not? Is it worth a second episode? Did you like the pilot?
