[quote name='Hydro2Oxide']Trying to avoid spoilers but I have a question. This show comes HIGHLY recommended from many sources so I decided to give it a try. After three episodes I'm not really liking it. Does the show change its formula or get more interesting or does it try to do something similar to 'Weeds' by just getting more and more ridiculous in the plot threads?[/QUOTE]
The show drew a lot of comparisons to Weeds when it started because of the whole "suburbanite gets into the drug trade" thing. Fairly early in the first season, the comparison isn't too much of a stretch, but it quickly moves away from that. If anything, I think it's better to compare the show to Dexter in that you have someone doing something highly questionable and illegal but for altruistic reasons. Like Dexter, Walt is someone you can't help but like despite their actions.
So, short answer: No, the plots don't get more ridiculous. If anything, they get more and more intense as Walt gets deeper into the drug world.
