Watched on Netflix (or other streaming channels)

I've watched BB and liked it ok, but I think there are just too many seasons to try to get through. I gave Shameless a shot when it first came out but meh for me. I'll check out Osark, I think I saw Bateman on a talk show once and it sounded good.

You must not have liked it much if you call watching it , trying to get through it.
I would have liked to see even more but it probably would have jumped the shark.

I need more Better call Saul too.. Both were fantastic compared to most TV IMO

Shameless.. Not so much

I was thinking this.

How many hours is breaking bad in total?

The average "Breaking Bad" episode, for example, is 47 minutes long, but the total it returns for the the full 62 episodes over the show's five seasons is 2 days, 14 hours -- or 62 hours. In contrast, choose one season of the show and it returns a total time of 12 hours 24 minutes, which is a more exact total.May 28, 2014

Well, if that matters to you...I guess you won't watch it.

I liked Happy Valley.  It's a British cop show, two seasons, with a continuous running story. I liked it. I really like that the British cop shows show women as real women, not fashion models running down criminals in 4 inch heels and plunging necklines.  It's a well done show with good actors.   http://www.imdb.com/title/tt3428912/

It's not just the women ,the cop shows here are ridiculous as far as ANYTHING being accurate or real.
What about the men? They are just as phony.
Especially when you watch the first 48 and you see real homicide cops and real murderers. But I can see how that's boring to some.
For me it's funny to hear people talking about how fake reality or documentary style shows are and yet they watch TV shows where every person is an actor reading a script.

Yes, it's true, but there's a bit more range for the men, at least I think, for a cop to portrayed as a little dumpy, craggy, a bit run down.  Not much.  But a bit more. The CSI and NCIS programs show ridiculous versions of cops.  Only law and order. Because law and order is actually well written and developed.
