Great storytelling
What can be said about this spectacular saga that hasn’t been said before? One of the very few series that competes with the best films in history for achievement in cinematic storytelling. Like a great novel slowly unfolding, it’s funny, heartbreaking, incredibly tense, deeply disturbing.
A nebbishy high-school science teacher finds he has lung cancer, so becomes a meth dealer to make money for his family before his death. Often visually stunning, with a breathtaking performance by Brian Cranston in the lead, and great work from all the supporting roles,
this portrait of a man’s decent into hell couldn’t be much better, and it just grows darker and more disturbing each year.
In a way, thematically it recalls “The Godfather I and II” in how that epic charts Michael’s journey from innocence to darkness, along with the moral murkiness of the endless drive for money and success – how we lose ourselves, so that succeeding and having ever more becomes an
end in itself for which we will pay any price, rather than a route to happiness, trapping us in a game we can never win.
The second season made clear the promise of the first would be lived up to. The show would go to the edge, even if it meant risking alienating the audience. This is powerful, important and yet utterly enthralling stuff.

This was a gift.
This “Breaking Bad” season was a gift for a friend. I naturally also gave them The Complete First Season first! as a present.
Why share this crude, “low-life” theme?
This series is so expertedly put together! It is difficult to analyse WHY given the subject matter,is so good.
I can mention several factors that may have “hooked” me to such an unlikely series, with such “low-life” subject matter!
I wanted to share this series.
The “hero” was a lawbreaker with a capital “L” , yet, he had his own sort of integrity and values or agenda which he put
as a higher priority to the “LAW”! namely . . . the survival of his family after his death! His genius ideas for Chemistry had been stolen from him by a so-called friend and “society” was rewarding this “friend” while HE with his unappreciated gifted intelligence was being treated as a slave by society . . . the same society. . . that backs up the “LAW”! The world is pretty absurd anyway and
this situation about the hero and his priorities becomes understandable. We can’t help but sympathize with him on his dangerous
quest to make millions of “big Bucks” out of a potentially lethal situation! He is doing it for altruistic reasons. He is very unselfish.
Bryan Cranston with his understated personality portrayal is very good casting. The other actresses and actors are really well
cast. The situations are bizarre yet believable and convincing.
Bryan Cranston’s role was like a mouse trying to get the cheese from the trap and not get hurt. He had to outsmart so many
people we are sure he will fail! Just when things look most bleak for him a tiny little triumph due to his own intelligent and calm
reasoning help him out of the impossible situation and we breath a sigh of relief!
Everyone needs him and wants him to be perfect! Who is perfect? No one not even the Chemistry teacher. Another sigh of relief
for the audience.
He keeps his mouth shut and forgets his own ego when most would be tempted to talk about themselves. We have to admire
this trait.
The roles of all the players were so well and realistically portrayed. There was a lot to enjoy about this series. I am really looking
forward to when the fifth series comes out on DVD in PAL frequency as that is my frequency.

I like it
I like it, especially being able to watch it at my own pace, without commercials.
not watching much tv, I cannot compare it to anything else. It does stand on its own.
What’s to say that hasn’t been said, I like the connection to the real world, as in, this could happen. it brings out some great points on things to think about, like health insurance in the usa. One stretch on realism is that everyone I know in teaching has very good health insurance. Another thought provoking topic is dealing with cancer. I am learning a few things about it, and dealing with my friend’s cancer helps me to consider things that she is going through, and how to accept and respond to her fears and situation. The entertainment part of it is great, a chemistry high school teacher and his real life application of his knowledge, and how he adapts and handles his problems. Lots of side stories brought in for a well diverse story all around the central story, such as the petty theft by Walt’s sister in law, the turtle in the desert, Walt Jr and his cerebral palsy, even the lawyer, lots of things for consideration.
A what could be look at a real life side of illegal drugs, what it does to a person, family,… especially Jane, Jane’s father, as well as the business side of it, especially Jesse’s street friends. an intelligent main character, Walter, and cast, written by intelligent writers, put together and presented in an entertainingly intelligent way.

Best series of all time?
In a nutshell, the story is about a high school chemistry teacher/husband/father who finds out he has terminal cancer. Realizing his family will be burdened beyond belief after his death, he sets out to secure their financial future by cooking and selling crystal meth with what little time he has left. Encountering all the problems one would expect from the situation, he seeks out and employs a former student of his who is a small-time CM dealer/user, all while trying to keep his cancer and newfound “hobby” a secret from his wife and DEA agent brother-in-law.
The writing is superb. Just further proving that all of the best creative work right now is in 60-minute TV, not films. The acting is fantastic – Bryan Cranston walks away with the Best TV Actor award each year. The show is also far and away above all others in their artistic use of light and camera.
But here’s the thing: I’ve never seen a better “save the cat” show in my life. It’s one thing for a show to place their characters in seemingly impossible situations but it’s an entirely different thing to be able to creatively get the characters out all while maintaining believability. Despite the absolutely absurd situations these characters put themselves in, at no point do you question their motives or their decision making.
Yes, this is what would happen if this person tried to do this. Yes, this is how they would behave.
And it’s always nothing short of fascinating.
I originally thought they would take a more absurdist/comedic POV to the story but, to my surprise, they went in the opposite direction. The story goes to some very dark, very real places. There were points in season 2 (I watched seasons 1 & 2 on DVD) when I had to pause the show and walk away from it for 5-10 minutes because it was simply too intense.
Fair warning: as good as the writing and acting are this show probably isn’t for the ultra squeamish. How would a high school chemistry teacher dispose of a body? What would such a person realistically have to do to become a major drug player? The creators don’t dodge any questions and don’t make it easy on the characters.
