    Anyone else watching this on Netflix? I recently watched the whole series of Breaking Bad and didn't know WTH to watch after that, but this filled the gap nicely. :-D It's VERY funny. My fave character has to be the religious meth addict.

    My wife is and she loves it. Tried to get me into it but I haven't had the time. I have to catch up to about 5 episodes now, lol.

    I am Obsessed with this show! I was the first season as soon as it was out and finished it in about a week. I think the second season took me about 4 days. :-D

    The characters are awesome.

    Season 2 isn't half as good as season 1.

    When I first started watching it, I thought "Ahh I'll probably turn this off halfway thru the first episode" and before I knew it I was glued to the third. I'm obsessed too Laura. LOL It's just so down to earth and so funny, with sad moments thrown in there too. Some of the lines those women come out with crack me the hell up...

    fitnlean I can't follow the rules

    howd you like breaking bad?
    everything seems to be at a reduced volume compared to that LONG series(I fast fwd scenes with out walter for the most part.

    I also thought I'd had Orange and only tried it because I "try everything once" and ended up into it, Not as much as breaking bad, (whenever i see jason biggs, I think of Pie) but my fav character is the guard with the Pornstache.

    There are so many great lines in that show! roflmao

    I have a bunch of favorite characters for different reasons. I love Crazy Eyes in the first season and Red in the second.

    I could definitely see why people would not like the second season as much. It was much more character driven with all the back stories on the inmates, which I actually loved. I liked it just as much as the first and liked the season finale much better.

    This is an incredible show too! I tend to enjoy the American version "Elementary" more, but Sherlock is great and so well done. I love both the actors who play Sherlock.

    I am ALWAYS behind the times when it comes to tv shows. I just started watching Downton Abbey a few months ago and it's on it's 4th season already! :-D

    I'm not currently watching anything right now. Shows tend to bore me after a while when it starts to be same old repetition season after season, so I generally don't bother to find new shows unless they are suggested.

    So since you all are suggesting this show is so funny, I might just have to try it and see. However, if it's not funny then so help you all, I'm coming after you! :p LOL

    It might be one of the better shows to watch.

    Meh. Tried it. Didn't like it. Felt too much like Sons of Anarchy, but focused on the parts where everyone is in prison.
