It's a great show. It may not be on Breaking Bad's level, but it doesn't have to be tied for the greatest television show of all time to be great.

I loved Breaking Bad until the last couple of seasons when it started to get kind of stupid ("magnets, bitch!"). I don't expect it to be exactly the same as its predecessor but the pacing of this is just glacial and there's a lot of Tarantinoing going on.

Imagine thinking "magnets, bitch!" is a valid reason to not like a show. Also, there were only 4 seasons, so the "last couple seasons" is half the series.

There's five seasons.

They pulled a Sopranos and the last season was this split up mega season. But yeah if you want to get specific Season 5 is when the show started to get sloppy. Not consistently, there were great episodes and moments within it... but there was heaping amounts of stupid in them too.

Mike just so happens to know the exact place to put a magnet to destroy the computer that the cops conveniently didn't search for some reason. There's like one cop guarding the place where all the drug lord's information is at. They get away wearing stereotypical bandit clothes that anyone would spot them in. It was a good idea and realistic to think that Gus left some shit behind but they really wrote themselves into a corner with it. Implausibility, bitch!
