I LOVE this show! Like you said, it has yet to "jump the shark" although I suppose in the 14 episodes left it could still do it. I always tell people to just go and watch the very first episode... give it one hour and you should know by the end if you're hooked.

I don't have cable so I'm watching it on some of those "free TV" sites. I feel like I might be a pirate but on the other hand, if AMC just streamed the shows on their site with commercial breaks I'd gladly watch.

By the way, Dexter is another show that was pretty good, but it has been less consistant than BB. Both shows wrap up in 2013 so next year should be quite a year for excellent drama!
