    How much nudity is there in the show? I don't feel comfortable looking at Walter's bare ass like I unexpectedly did when they showed it twice in episodes 1/2.

    That's it as far as Walt. Hank, on the other hand, goes bare ass nearly every episode.

    Serious reply.

    It does start out a little slow. Not that the topic isn't interesting, but the pacing didn't fully hold my attention at first. There were a few scenes (like them eating breakfast) that felt really drawn out and boring. It took me about a month to watch the first 3 episodes. I'd watch part of one and then wouldn't come back and finish it. It wasn't that I thought it was bad, I just didn't feel compelled to watch more.

    Eventually, I gave it more of a legitimate shot. And once I got to episode 3 or 4, I ended up watching the entire rest of the series in about 7-10 days.

    Don't give up on it.

    And like others have said, while it's still a very good show to begin with, it just keeps getting better as it goes along.

    It's kind of the opposite of the Walking Dead where it started off great and then had long period where it felt like it was just treading water, if not regressing a bit.

    And that is pushing me further and further away from wanting to give the show another chance. Honestly, why the heck do they do crap like that? Nobody wants to see that.

    He was joking. There's no nudity aside from some boobage in the pilot with Jesse is jumping out of some chick's window. Maybe one quick shot of Bryan Cranston's bare ass, but it's in service of the story. And there may be a handful of times he's in his tighty whities like in the pilot. If that's what's keeping you from the show, I don't know what to say.

    EDIT: One episode does start out in a strip club and there are a few nipples. But that's it. You don't watch this show for the nudity.

    He was just joking. It's a cable show so their isn't really any nudity. I don't remember any more instances of bare ass beyond the first episode.

    This thread is frustrating. Why are we all trying so hard to convince him to watch a tv show? He's the one missing out. Just sit on your ass for a day and watch the first season, geez.

    Okay, thanks. And thanks for your serious reply. I guess I'll give it another shot. I'll renew netflix in the future.

    I made it about five episodes in and gave up. Not my thing.

    LOL. I know you won't believe it, but episode 6 of season 1 is the one that got me hooked on this show.

    Your loss.

    Really? That's why ?
    That sounds like you aren't even paying attention to the plot if a dudes ass is your main focal point
