I agree with this.
Loved first season.
However, part of watching a great series (Any series, or production, or stage show, or whatever) is that you must believe the myth that they are feeding you... 'Suspend disbelief' in order to become totally absorbed in the plot.
Breaking Bad doesn't do this to me consistently. For me, Walt often acts in ways that aren't consistent with his character, forcing me to drop out of my belief int the plot and see it as a production rather than something that I am 'living'. Walt isn't the only one that has this affect on me.. The whole show causes me to see, every so often, that all it is is a show rather than a piece of art, like many of the other great series of recent times
Having said that, I still enjoy it and have watched to the end of the last season, even if I don't consistently 'buy' it
