Well, don’t expect any clips, as Netflix weren’t able to supply any, but Gawd bless them anyway (love Netflix, hate not having any clips), as without them the only way to see the second act of Breaking Bad’s fifth and final season without being American would involve breaking the law. It dominates this week’s running-late Telly Addict, which also finds time for the C4 documentary Crazy About One Direction; the promising US crime import Low Winter Sun on Fox; an approving nod to the end of series one of Love/Hate on Channel 5; and another unsavoury documentary humiliating people on “welfare”, Benefits Britain 1949, also on C4.
Ah. I was one of those people who saw Series 2 Breaking Bad on terrestrial. Perhaps if Channel 5 hadn’t shown series 2 at stupid o’clock in the morning, over the Christmas holidays, they may well have had a hit on their hands.
