I'm doing just that; I've only watched the first couple episodes of
Breaking Bad. I know Gus, Mike and Saul are in BB, and know that at least one of those characters meets a gruesome demise, but otherwise I only know a flimsy outline of the plot of BB.
So far I've greatly enjoyed BCS, and I'm glad that I didn't really get into it until just a few weeks ago and binged from start to season 6, episode 7 (Howard's end...). I don't think I would have had as much of an appreciation for the story (-ies) they've told if I wasn't able to binge a few episodes at a time; the storylines are so intertwined and serialized that it would be very easy to forget key plot points if I had to wait months/years between seasons.
Also, in fairness to White Out 403 and others, e.g.:

Me too.
She reminds me a lot of a former acquaintance. Kim's physical characterization gives her a kind of believability that most TV shows and movie characters don't have. She isn't made up to look like a super-model, but the character still obviously takes care of herself and is concerned with presenting an outwardly 'prepared' look (... which I find super-attractive...). The costume design and makeup are very believable for a professional woman in her mid-30s in Albuquerque, New Mexico. Little touches like the curled ponytail are exactly the sort of thing that I see in real-life professional women in their 30s; it's feminine, but the way it's always so neatly and carefully arranged is emblematic of the kind of fastidiousness that lawyers tend to have.
It's also super-interesting to me that Rhea Seehorn plays a character that is about 10-15 years younger than she actually is. It's not uncommon for a 25-year-old to be playing a 16-year-old in a teen drama, but it's
very unusual for a 50-year-old to be playing a 37ish-year-old. That Seehorn pulls it off so seemingly easily is all the more proof she's a total babe.
