The final 8 episodes of Breaking Bad start on AMC on August 11th, and it looks like Netflix wants to give you a little over a week to review the first half of season 5 before the end begins.
An eagle-eyed redditor spotted the streaming launch date of August 2nd (this Friday) for season 5A – on Breaking Bad’s Netflix DVD page. Here’s a screenshot for those of who without DVD plans:
