"Trying to pretend Jimmy's descent into life as a greasy, ambulance-chasing scam artist is the result of some grandiose tragedy of betrayal and self-destruction when it's really just an honest portrayal of what life as an Irish-American is like is a great bit"
"I'll give a slight nod to 'Kim Wexler becomes the hooker in Breaking Bad' that was semi-popular for a while too, just made absolutely no sense."

"I started smoking weed again to ease the pressure of my job and decided to finally get around to Breaking Bad. It was great fun! Sometimes got too ugly for its own good. Whatever.
