    "It is one of those cruel tricks of the calendar that the most unusual and very possibly best episode of Breaking Bad so far—and this following on a string of possibly-best-episodes" TIME MAGAZINE

    "AMC put up an episode of Breaking Bad that will probably win this year’s Peabody. “Fly” was part chamber piece, part slapstick comedy and completely "" kick ***." SPINETINGLER MAGAZINE

    "Perhaps the greatest single episode of the season is "Fly," written by Sam Caitlin and Moira Walley-Beckett and directed by Rian Johnson (Looper, Brick)." Matt Zoller- The Vulture

    Ranked #5 out of 62 Breaking Bad episodes by Entertainment Weekly.

    A fascinating episode which gave hardcore fans a huge amount to chew on. I think it could make for hard work for someone not as invested in the show. It’s not filled with new revelations which feel significant either. It’s more a crystallisation of Walt’s state of mind and for me very satisfying. TV Critic.org

    "We kill the fly, or we're dead."

    This episode is brilliant. I was sort of dreading it, but it was even better than I remembered. DOUX REVIEWS

    I’m breaking (as it were) with precedent and offering a preview-review of tonight’s Breaking Bad, because it’s so good, I’d be shocked if both Bryan Cranston and Aaron Paul don’t use the episode for Emmy consideration. There’s more on TV tonight than Lost, folks. Entertainment

    Breaking Bad is a show that actively defies convention and "Fly" was a perfect example. Using two characters and a single setting, the bare simplicity was able to convey more than most shows do in a season.

    Score: 9.9/10 The TV Obsessed

    I know it’s a real fan divider. People love it or hate it. And I LOVE it. You know why? Because this is the only episode, ever, in the whole show that I almost turned off because I just couldn’t keep watching. So many episodes have been so intense that I would have to soothe myself by naming the elements during the credits or something–a sign of a really great series, no doubt. But this is the only episode that I thought I couldn’t watch. It was that good. EMILIA JORDAN

      Jesus. I now can't take any of these seriously ha. That episode was so bad. So so bad.

      And did that last one try to justify it being good by the fact that she almost turned it off, or am I reading that wrong?

      Edit - no, I'm not reading that wrong. That's one of the worst reviews I've ever read.

        Right? I don't get that last one either. So apparently you just have to string words together, whether coherent or not, to be a reviewer?

            That was an excerpt of one of the reviews. You're the one that asked for examples.

              Oh I know, that one is just laughably stupid (that she wrote it, not that you posted it). The rest of them were surprising.

                I need to watch Breaking Bad already so I understand wtf you guys are talking about.

                But knowing me, I'll probably just rewatch The Office again. That **** never gets old for too long, and when it does, I just pop on HIMYM for a couple months and then I'm ready for The Office again. Timeless show.

                    I've had Netflix since 2009. Like I stated earlier, the only time I have to watch TV is at night in bed where I fall asleep and I'm the type that doesn't like falling asleep to shows I've never watched, which is why I haven't really seen anything new in a few years, lol.

                      Re: What's good to watch on Netflix

                      I watched a couple lame horror movies tonight.

                      "Holidays" and "Houses October Built."

                      I was interested in Holidays because Kevin Smith does one of the chapters. It's an anthology film of 9 shorts based on a theme of a holiday, like there's a "Father's Day" one and "Easter," etc.

                      For the most part they all suck and just aren't very scary or creepy IMO.

                      Houses October Built is basically a "Blair Witch Project" knockoff where they go to famous "haunted houses" instead of being in the woods. If it was a full on regular documentary about haunted houses I would have liked it more than this documentary/found footage horror flick hybrid which just isn't that scary or meaningful

                          Is that as erotic as it sounds?

                            LOL. No it's this little New Zealand comedy/horror film about these hardcore heavy metal kids who summon who accidentally activate some black magic and bring a demon into their town.

                            One review I read compared it's style to a mix of Army of Darkness and Shaun of the Dead.

                            There's some good laughs, some real heart, and a lot of slapstick gore practical effects. Oh and in your face heavy metal music lol

                              Couldn't turn it off. It was incredible

                                It really is incredible, I am 4 episodes in and love it.

                                One gripe about it though is it is Indiana and it is around Christmas.
                                No one in Indiana around XMAS time has their pool open! lol
                                And they are dressed like it is spring or early fall in Indiana.
                                They constantly show them outside not wearing jackets or just light jackets.
                                I don't know why but that really bugs me! lol
                                You are not jumping in a pool in the winter time in Indiana.
                                The main reason is the pool would be empty with a cover on it, and if it wasn't you would freeze to death. They stayed in the pool for a long time and just casually got out of it!
                                Also everything is way too green to be Indiana in the wintertime. Many of the trees they show still have green leaves on them.
                                And I know it is shot in Georgia and not Indiana but it says they are in Indiana.
                                I know, I know nit picky!
