Yes it is. You could miss out out on a major plot line. If you don't have time to watch them now wait until after your exams, it's worth the wait trust me. Good luck :)

You have to watch every episode, in order, and pay attention. If you're looking for a show where you can skip around, Breaking Bad definitely isn't for you.

You have to watch ever episode.

The whole show is the same, scene at the school, scene with Jesse, they cook meth, Walter goes home; to be honest you won't miss anything.

yes as it is one long story there are no stand alone episodes

Hey there guys/gals!

I recently started watching the fantastic Breaking Bad. I have so far watched only the first episode of Season 1. I really like it and would like to commit to this series. I have my exams in a week so I will not watch another episode until the last week of March. I checked the episode list, and there are about 62 episodes or so, which is a lot! I really want to finish watching it soon, time is a constraint however. Is it essential to watch every episode of Breaking Bad or is it fine to skip a few? Maybe after watching everything, I could come back and watch the ones I skipped. If there are, could you list the episodes I can miss (not super essential to the plot)?
