You're not alone killx, I'm not a huge fan of the show myself. That's not to say it's a bad show by any means. In fact, I would say it is a good show, but much like Dexter I have never really been a fan of that particular genre or style.

I actually agree with you, I'm not huge on Breaking Bad either. Its good and all, Ive just never found myself overly invested in the show. Its weird, because it seems like it'd be right up my alley, but...ehhh.

No show will ever be universally liked, i actually remember watching the first episode of The Wire and not being very interested in watching more. Now, i may get killed for that, but if it means anything, i'd be willing to give it another chance after a few years.

Another Chuck fan, hooray!
It's my favorite show and it's definitely worth a watch through, but just so you know I already have dibs on Yvonne Strahovski. She is mine now and forever will be mine.
Just shut up Forenci, you're wrong, and I'm right.

I fail to comprehend how someone could not like The Wire or Breaking Bad. Especially the Wire though.

Ehhh there are bits and pieces of The Wire, especially earlier on, that play kind of slow. Not that I didn't love the hell out of it, but I can understand why some people might not care for it.

I'm just not that big into cop shows, honestly. So I've never given The Wire a chance.
Also, it seems everyone loves Chuck, but every time I see a commercial for it, I always come away thinking, "This is the dumbest show ever".
(Yes, I'm aware that was an obsessive use of commas)

Chuck is entertaining fluff. Not as good as people make it out to be, but I enjoy it (although I haven't seen the last half of Season 4).

I've only seen a couple commercials for it, but the show is much better than the commercials.

Chuck isn't anything special, it's fluff as Brodeur put it. Nothing wrong with that but it's just not something I'm into.

I really like Breaking Bad and along with Mad Men and Game of Thrones it is probably the best made show on TV, but there are several shows I enjoy more than both Breaking Bad and Mad Men despite how well they are made. Both are great shows and I watch both closely, but neither are close to my favourite shows.

Dexter is very entertaining, but don't expect anything more.

I don't really enjoy any show more than Breaking Bad. I've seen every episode at least 3 times, and it's still extremely entertaining every time. It's not as easy of a watch as a Chuck or Dexter, but still.

You need patience to watch a show like Breaking Bad or any great show like it, Six Feet Under for example, but it definitely pays off.

I need to get back into Breaking Bad. I absolutely loved season 1 and 2 but I just haven't been up to date with it. :(

Meh. I find Breaking Bad to be thoroughly entertaining throughout.
Six Feet Under may require some patience...I'd even say the same for Mad Men. I just dont get Mad Men...it seems like nothing happens at all. I've only watched like half of season one, but I didnt get the love.
This said, I was never bored watching Boardwalk Empire. Which many claim is boring or too slow.

ugh. Why not? It's rather poetic, really. And Michael C. Hall is money, in his attempts to show Dexter's emotion. Especially in the first season. His awkward alone time with Rita, is brilliant. And when he starts to actually feel and remember buried memories, the show really shines.

Because of Batista and LaGuerta. Also, the fact that they refuse to push the storyline any further outside of the S4 finale which had to be done because she got a job on a major network.
