Breaking Bad took me almost 4 months to finish the 5 seasons because the episodes were long, because I just can't watch those kind of shows all the time like I can comedies. I can watch several episodes of comedies like HIMYM, P&R, Friends, etc in a day. But BB was tough to get through quickly (which I realize is a relative term...). That's why I decided to watch Friends for my next series instead of House of Cards. I just wasn't ready to start another drama series with long episodes, especially during school.
