Wow just a bit behind eh. Thanks

Is it as gaelige?

Prettyfireworks

Nope its in English.

Ah OK - something I've always admired about TG4 is the quality of the dubbing they do in Irish.

RUCKING FETARD

When does this show start to get good?

Never got round to watching it so am now, it's only meh so far.

Neeson

It gets good from the first episode

RUCKING FETARD

So it's not all it's made out to be on here at all so?

Neeson

Meaning? You saw the first episode and thought it was crap?

I think it is an amazing show. For me it is as good as it's made out to be on here.

What time and when is the show on exactly? I really want to get into this show(Never seen it before) because i've read some great stuff, and from what i've seen on youtube it's pretty cool. But if it's on tg4 then great.

Thursdays at 11pm, but you've missed season 1 (7 episodes) and 7 eps of season 2 so far.....though it could be compressed down into a 5 minute recap for all that's happened in it so far.

And the problem with that is? For someone who never got around to watching it and finds it "meh" you really do care, don't you.

Prettyfireworks

I watched the first episode and thought it was good but not WOW as alot of people did.. So glad I kept watching as it completely had me hooked by Ep. 3! Keep watching, its worth it!

SuperInfinity

I'm halfway through season 3 and my only criticism of this show is that a lot of it seems to be a rehash of the same themes again and again. While brilliantly done, it's interesting how a lot of the scenes could have been swapped into earlier episodes and vice versa.

ArtSmart

thank fook this is on once a week. TV has gotten dreadful lately ( i dont have bbc 3 or 4.)

lubo_moravcik

This is Season 3?

Get it and watch it from the start, you can't explain it from the point you saw.

December2012

I have watched and I'm fully up to date with all episodes, podcasts, etc. but I never did understand why those Mexicans were crawling on their bellies and I'd love to be enlightened please?

It was just part of the ritual to the "god of death", that the brothers go to.

A teacher (Walter White)who is diagnosed with lung cancer decides to manufacture crystal meth to pay for his care and his family expenses(if he dies) to do this he teams up with a slacker ex student(Jesse). His brother in law (Hank)is in the DEA (investigates drug related crimes). His wife (Skyler) has just had a child and left him thinking he has cheated only to discover he is in the drug trade. He is using a Lawyer(Saul) to distribute his money through his online charity donation site which was started by his son (Walt Jr) to pay for a Surgery that cost over 200k that helped his cancer go into remission. Jesse has also just now left rehab & quit the drug trade.
Thats a brief synopsis up to the point i'm watching on TG4.

TG4 are currently repeating series 3.

They have shown the first 2 episodes so there are another 11 to go.

Then there are 13 episodes in series 4

And then 8 episodes in the first half of the 5th series.

Then you will be up to date with what Netflix are showing.

At 2 episodes per week, TG4 will finish the repeats in 16 weeks - that is I think Wednesday 11th December.

janey! didn't realise there was so many episodes

It's on Netflix - although I'm not sure how long they're keeping each of the episodes up. If they hold on to them for a while you could wait until it's finished in screening in the States and then sign up for the free monthly trial and watch them all.

It is well worth making the time to watch it from the start.

but what i find astounding..is that none of the main uk channels are showing it..thought this would be perfect CH 4 output??

Channel 5 used to screen it - didn't get an audience.

It's incredible that two of the most respected and highly regarded TV shows of all time (BB and the Wire) never got shown on prime time tv either here or in the UK. Says a lot about the tastes of the public, or the Tv schedulers, or both. Meanwhile dross like CSI, Law and Order, Criminal Minds etc gets shown ad nauseum.

fryup

^^ X 100

i think its a travesty, its the best drama series ever and very few this side of the atlantic are aware of it

Does anybody know are TG4 gonna show season 5 part 2, or are the just gonna stop at the end of season 5 part 1 which is 5-8.

Yes they are going to show the second half of season 5 but they haven't said when it will be on.

Breaking Bad is back on TG4 on Wednesday 8th January.

Series 5 Part 2

Fair play to TG4 for showing this series and for not making us wait too long for the final part.
