I don't watch a lot of TV, so my point of reference is skewed, but it is by far the most depressing show I watch. And for me, the intensity of it was also unexpected.

I think Ryan does have a point. Again, I don't have much reference, but the show does seem to develop the story very slowly. Most episodes, I felt were buildup for the next ones. In S3, they didn't even bother resolving most of the story-lines, so the buildup wasn't even realized yet (though I did prefer that over their S2 attempt to try and solve everything in ten minutes).

And while there is enough spy hijinks, there isn't much coming from the FBI/Stan's side. I realize the FBI can't get too close, but they're barely investigating. How does that compare to Breaking Bad? I suppose they had the same problem there (?)
