First two episodes is a complete Breaking Bad ripoff


First episode ends with a confrontation between a criminal psycho and the two main characters where we are to believe he has passed away as the two main characters place him in the back of their car. In the beginning of episode 2, plot twist; He is still alive breathing in the back and the entire episode revolves around some cat and mouse game to get him killed only for it to finally happen at the very end of the episode.

Didn’t pay a lot of attention in English class, did you? No wonder you enjoy Breaking Bad.

I was in a rush when posting that. What do you have against BB?

I love Breaking Bad and didn't even think of that while watching it

Don't be the type of schmoe who finds similarities in things and immediately assumes one of them ripped off the other

reply

I loved Breaking Bad but I guess I need to watch it again because I don't even know what the fuck you're referring to.

Breaking Bad is overrated. My Doctor of Science father loved Walter White and his chemistry stuff, but he admitted that the show got a few things wrong (don't ask me what they are, I don't care) but he did get fed up of Jesse Pinkman's endless whining about humanity. My father is NOT a humanitarian, far from it.

Are you a Doctor of Science?

reply

No.

How does that make you feel?

reply

What does it matter if I'm a Doctor of Science or not? My father's opinion is valid in this regard.

Tell us more about your father.
