A few friends loved it and say I ought to take the time to view it.

Should I or have they over rated it?

The best series I've watched in many years. In fact, difficult to think of better.

I watch very little in the way of TV series, most just don't engage me enough to make sure I catch every episode. BB had me from episode 1, good and gets better & better.

Definitely, give it a go.

Season 1 is quite dull and slow compared to following ones. It's a good show, entertaining but it is slightly overrated.

Definitely worth watching. As with any series there are occasions where not much happens in the episode. There is one episode in particular where they are being pestered by a fly where I nearly gave up the will to live but looking back it set up several things that happen later on.

It's a work of genius.

Watch it. Gorge on it. Don't miss it.

It's every bit as good as people say it is, and definitely worth the time.

I'd avoid binge-watching it though - take your time; it's frustrating but ultimately, much more satisfying.

OK
I've now completed a marathon Breaking Bad viewing and have just watched the very last episode.

Wow!

What a great series, I'll miss Walt and Jessie!

Sounds like I need to watch Better Call Saul now

That's really good too.

I felt like it started off a bit like BB season 6, and then settled down into being a great show in its own right.

Really loved BCS even though I was expecting to be whinging about them ruining a good thing.

Breaking Bad definitely went one season too long. That said, arguably the best episodes of the entire show are in S6.
