I am a huge Breaking Bad/BCS fan, even traveled to Albuquerque to do the entire tourist thing (went to every filming location).

The show is one of the most creative, ingenious creations of our days. Plus New Mexico is a beautiful state.

The movie is also good, however you would need a very good understanding of the initial BB show, including all details in order to understand the "finale".

 

Why did you like it? A close friend recommended it as his favorite. I usually align with some of his tastes but damn I did not enjoy the movie at all.

Was it just the guy getting his wealth and going crazy? The odd storyline with the son?

 

Daniel Day Lewis's performance is undeniably good. The cinematography is great. The score/original soundtrack is so good I almost consider it to be one of the main characters (for anyone who cares the soundtrack was made by Johnny Greenwood of Radiohead - I fucking hate Radiohead).

I always thought it would be a long drawn out drama but it's definitely the opposite. I found every minute enthralling. It's interesting to see the main character's struggle along his pursuit. Until the end of the movie I could not figure out if he was a good or bad person.

Also, Paul Thomas Anderson is an incredible director. Who the fuck would think that the same person made Boogie Nights, Punch Drunk Love, and There Will Be Blood? Tarantino said that Blood (2007) inspired him to "up his game" when making Inglorious Basterds (2009). He definitely lost that particular game.

I’m a fun guy. Obviously I love the game of basketball. I mean there’s more questions you have to ask me in order for me to tell you about myself. I'm not just gonna give you a whole spill... I mean, I don't even know where you're sitting at
 

The Knick on showtime (on Amazon I think), incredible show about a hospital in NYC at the beginning of the 20th century.

Oz on HBO, great show about a prison in upstate New York

The Nightingale (Netflix), really amazing Australian movie about this woman hunting a band of soldiers in the Tasmanian bush after they fuck up her family

On Netflix:

Shot Caller - Entertaining story of a stockbroker that goes to jail for a DUI and then becomes an SS leader and completly changes his life. Obvious plotholes but its whatever.

The Midnight Gospel: Kind of a weird cartoon show, if you like Rick and Morty you'd probably like it. "A space caster traverses trippy worlds inside his universe simulator, exploring existential questions about life, death and everything in between." 

Dallas Buyers Club: Incredible McConaughey movie

I thought it was funny/good. I liked the dialogue of science in the media - thought it was hilarious.

A bit different but if you are into historical/long dramas, there is a Turkish show on netflix that is absolutely fantastic called Reserrecution: Ertugrul. About the guy who was the father of Osman I who started the Ottoman empire. Great great show but it is very long and very dense. 5 seasons each with a 100 episodes each. Took me around a year to finish. But was well worth it and you can always rewatch.
