Just caught Season II, Episode I and I have to admit, I didn't expect that one.

My female friend who was watching the show totally saw it coming, but I was, "no way, that's not going to happen" and boom, it does.

Shocking.

Frank is a serial killer.

Quite the departure from the original British series which is available on Netflix.

Frank is such a conniving politician and individual! He is a back-stabber and a murderer, but it's amazing that we are still rooting for him - just like Dexter and Walter in Breaking Bad.

Totally enjoying the series!

Good character, bad ending. Fortunately, the lesbian action made me feel better.

I didnt like season 2 as much. Far more predictable and not nearly as imaginative. Still a few good quotes though.

When shows such as Breaking Bad and House of Cards can have me sympathizing and justifying despicable actions of the main characters, and turn me around and I start liking them, well that is the sign of amazing writing and acting. Or, I am just warped mentally as well and I actually connect with these murderers. Wait, and I am typing on an escort review forum too??? Uh oh

I don't think I ever liked Walter White. He was fascinating, but hardly likeable.

In BB, I liked Sol and Mike the best. Jessie sometimes.

But Walter?

Nope. Maybe in Season I, but by the end, he was a full blown sociopath - which is a huge credit to the writers and producers of BB that they turned Walt into Mr. Hyde.

Tony Soprano was an excellent example of a charming psychopath. He was a killer, but he was likeable.

I agree, don't think many people liked the character of Walter, including myself, but for some reason we always wanted him to win. Strange dat.

I agree, I don't think I like Walter either. Note that I said "rooting" instead of liking. I guess I admire him for sacrificing himself so much to provide for his family.

But in the end, the very last episode where he seeks out Skylar, he starts in about "everything I did" and it was amazing, but I cringed because he sang that tired old song so many times and it was so obvious that his world was finally closing in on him and just as I cringed, Sklar also cringed and Walt FINALLY admits that no, he did it for himself. He liked it.

He started out in Season I as doing it for his family, but it went way beyond that. Way beyond that.

To me, Walt jumped the humanity shark when he let Jessie's girlfriend (the pretty brunette (Q's daughter)) OD and drown in her own puke. For an instant, he thought about saving her, he went to save her, but then he let her die. It as at that moment that Walt lost his humanity.

Loved Breaking Bad and it's light years ahead of "House of Cards" as another poster implied.

And yes, I was rooting for Walter when he was up against Gustavo Fring. Gus was a full blown psycho as well. I cheered when he got his.
