Anybody else watched this? A few BBad stars appear in flashbacks. Walter, Mike, Todd, Jane but no Gus, Saul, Tuco, Don Salamanca, Hank and thankfully Walter Jnr or Skylar. Badger and Skinny Pete are welcome faces, as is Robert Forster. The story is about Jesse's attempts to survive post Walter's rescue, with his name and face all over the media and the cops looking for him. It's a little slow in places (like BBad), and has some good action moments. I won't say more or I might spoil it but worth a watch. I won't spoil it either, I'll just say I was expecting a contrived quickly written crapfest to capitalize on Breaking Bad (like that awful Deadwood movie) and instead saw an amazing, superbly well written film I absolutely loved. Literally it was ending and I went "wait, did 2 hours just go by?" I loved it.

Did he get like Skyler fat? Or Katie fat from from Paranormal Activity? He was fat in Season 2 of Fargo
That season of Fargo was the best ever, I kept it on my computer to watch again.

Without spoiling anything either, I loved the way the flashbacks really showed what Jesse was, and what he ultimately became. It's a great character arc and Aaron Paul gives an excellent performance that doesn't give in to cliches and over-the-top screen mugging that I also kind of expected. I want to watch it again.

That season of Fargo was the best ever, I kept it on my computer to watch again. I liked Season One a little more. Billy Bob and Martin Freeman turned in two of the best performances in TV history. I liked Season Two nearly as much, more great performances. Bokeem, Jean Smart, Jeffrey Donovan, Zach McLarnon and especially Ted Danson. Just the UFO stuff was a negative.
Season Three, not so much

The great thing about the flashbacks is every single one served a purpose for the current story. They weren't padding or just there to get people back in the movie, they literally had a reason to be there.

Why is everyone so afraid to spoil? Fuck that, if someone comes to a thread about a movie they haven't watched after it's released, they deserve to have it spoiled

Looks like I'm rubbing against the gain here but I thought it was pretty terrible! Like a bad Walking Dead filler episode... I mean really what's point in bringing this back years later just to have those prolonged Todd flashbacks taking care of his housekeeper 😒 (yes,I know the money business but so contrived and unnecessary).
Would much rather have seen what happened to Jessie AFTER this finished, which is what I thought we'd get. No doubt we will get that though on the next BB Netflix "special".

I absolutely loved it and do not understand some of the hate. I can understand that it technically did not NEED to be made. Still, it was very well done and it was good to see Jesse get a happy ending. I have watched Breaking Bad all the way through 5+ times now. It is maybe my favorite show ever. The more I watched it, the more I started to hate Walt and side with Jesse. He gets crapped on throughout most of the five seasons. It was good to see him drive off into the sunset (or snow) with a happy ending. Sure, it was slow, but most of Breaking Bad is a slow burn. The duel scene near the end was incredible. I love the way that Breaking Bad builds up tension. I hope that they do more.
