I still feel like it wasn't enough for how much people rave about it! At the same time I really enjoyed it, will watch it all again sometime... think I just got annoyed at a lot of people I know REALLY going on about it (basically for the last year when its been around a good while). The first series really isn't that great.
Oh and Gus' death was quite underwhelming in the end for me (a clever conceit using that guy) and it was a mistake making us feel bad for Gus and at the same time implying something about him that was never revealed. The twins/cartel thing was really underwhelming. They kind of gave Walt a big free pass by showing that he was unwittingly getting himself into some serious s**t and then essentially having a Mexican standoff.
The ding ding ding episode was amazing.
