Interesting, I made the same thing with learning #czech and #portuguese. While doing some not so focused work, I was watching entire series in a different language. Breaking Bad might not be that dramatic in Brazilian Portuguese, but it still helped tremendously to get a sense of that language and get your ear accustomed for it.
I recommend doing that simultaneously while also going to some courses if you really want to dig into a new language.
The Problem when learning a new language is always to find shows that are somewhat familiar to you, and that have lipsynch + subtitles!
And sometimes lipsynch and subtitles don't match, which can be super frustrating!
So I am glad a website like this exists to make this accessible for millions of people instead of searching for the shows on some dubious websites.
