Day #14 of the 30 Days of Television Challenge

This is Day #14 of the 30 Days of Halloween Challenge.

The prompt is:

Television Series you thought you wouldn't like and ended up loving

My choice:

Breaking Bad

I had to be talked into it. I tried it - didn't like it. Various people online loved it. Then I had a co-worker, frustrated screenwriter/current co-manager, who talked me into it. He intrigued me, and explained the third season is the best.

So...I gave it a second chance and got pulled in.

This happens more often than not with shows. Often I'll think, meh, and then somewhere around the second or third season - I get sucked in.

Heh... I recall that I started watching this show on your recommendation some years back-- hadn't tuned it in before.

Why does it work? You called it! And inevitably I always start rooting for someone / some couple after about half the episodes settle in.
