    Except that one episode of Breaking Bad…

    But then again, that show is over a decade old at this point.

        The one where the whole thing is just Walter chasing a fly around the lab. I’ve even got a vague memory of Vince Gilligan admitting it was only there because they were an episode short of whatever they were contractually obliged to produce but had very little budget left.

          no he thought people would like it because of how it develops the relationship… the episode gets referred back to a lot. I thought it was boring though, I’m glad I’m not the only one

          omg I was watching behind the scenes and Vince Gilligan was like “i really think that Fly is an episode that’s going to stand out to viewers!” like, why, for being a boring hunk of crap? I think his rationale was that it’s a lot of walt and jesse screen time
