10.3 million for the Breaking Bad finale, and that was after the fourth season only got 1.9 million for its finale. The word of mouth and netflix has REALLY made a difference in people catching up at the last minute!

Flawless ending. Flawless show :D

I wish the deluxe box set (which is eek out of stock already on amazon.co.uk) came with a t-shirt instead of an apron that I will never wear through lol, I've just ordered a Heisenberg t-shirt to wear :bounces: Breaking Bad is huge in the UK just from people finding it on Netflix, it doesn't air on any other channel over here, yet nearly all of the top sellers in film and tv on amazon.co.uk are Breaking Bad DVDs

Yeah, haha, we are champions at pirating! You should see our Game of Thrones figures! Haha! But seriously, if iTunes are gonna hold it back, why would we wait? It's ludicrous.

And BrBa airs on ABC here, only, like two years behind!!

eta: According to one Australian TV blog, Breaking Bad is just about to air the second part of its final season next week on ABC2. Some fans might not have been able to wait. Here we go. They must have put a rush on the last couple of seasons in a bid to be a little less completely irrelevant!!

It's sad how behind the times the people in charge are, they just don't realise that in the days of spoilers all over twitter and Facebook, no international viewer wants to sit patiently for six months waiting for the current US episodes. Netflix has been a godsend with being able to put it up for streaming right away and really getting how people want to watch tv these days, I'm so glad we didn't have the usual wait of months with terrestrial tv

We have something called Quickflix here, which was meant to be our answer to Netflix. Only it's pretty much a joke. And there are still delays. And no-one has signed up for it (which I get makes it really hard for them to buy the rights to big shows but...). I think it's because TV here has pretty much always been free. We don't pay for tv licenses and Pay TV things like Austar and Foxtel are still pretty rarely purchased in the grand scheme of things. For example, I was reading yesterday that approx. 30% of American households have access to Netflix. Less than 2% of Australian households have signed on to Quickflix.
