All of this is imo, but. My biggest issue with BB is that most of the characters lack any meaningful depth; they feel like caricatures rather than real people. The writers didn’t have a long term plan for BB, and I feel like it shows in a lot of the storylines. I don’t think Walt’s character was consistent at all, which bugs me because he’s the focal point of the story.
All of these things I think BCS addressed and improved on. And again, I don’t even really dislike BB, I just think it feels like an off-brand sopranos. BCS, on the other hand, is the genuine article. I honestly think it’s one of the best shows that’s ever aired on regular cable. But I’m just some random dickhead on the internet, so who cares what I think lol.
I think part of that with BB is that it takes place over a very short amount of time (like, under two years?). Not that there isn’t time for growth, but it’s pretty non-stop of just Stuff Happening as Walt just chaos-gods his way through things.
It’s always got the throttle down and so there’s very little reflection time. Like, all the Sopranos’ action moments just back to back.
