I'm quite happy I checked the show out. I can see why people gush fondly about it, the writing was pretty on point throughout the entire run, and the acting was there to back it up. Scenes flowed naturally as a consequence of what came before, and while not every action made perfect sense there was always at least some thread of logic one could point to as some justification.

While I definitely liked some characters more than others, they were all pretty uniformly great, adding a ton of depth to the story as they bounced around interacting among themselves. It's a shame that some characters like Walt I stopped rooting for partway through the series, and it became less about wanting to see him succeed and more about wanting to see how he fell. I'm not sure how I feel about Jesse after all this either, he's a stupidly curvy rollercoaster with how often I've flipped my views of him. I think he's currently rising up at the end here though, he's been put through the wringer yet clung to some basic sense of decency. More than a few good characters are dead now too...Gus, Hank, Mike, Todd, and Lydia to name a few. All elevating this show that would otherwise just be the sad tale of a guy who wanted to make some money selling meth.

Yeah, good stuff all around, and I can't see much more ground it could hope to cover with this movie, let alone there being a whole other show with some connection to this one.
