Breaking Bad

2008 | Drama

Breaking Bad follows protagonist Walter White (Bryan Cranston), a chemistry teacher who lives in New Mexico with his wife (Anna Gunn) and teenage son (RJ Mitte) who has cerebral palsy. White is diagnosed with Stage III cancer and given a prognosis of two years left to live. With a new sense of fearlessness based on his medical prognosis, and a desire to secure his family's financial security, White chooses to enter a dangerous world of drugs and crime and ascends to power in this world. The series explores how a fatal diagnosis such as White's releases a typical man from the daily concerns and constraints of normal society and follows his transformation from mild family man to a kingpin of the drug trade.

"Breaking Bad was a drug-crazed thing, wasn't it? I waited until the last episode to watch it, and then I back-tracked. Watching it out of context actually gave me its context. That main man was a seriously interesting bloke. He hooked you into the character, and you never doubted for a second that he was that actual character. To me, that's skillful acting at its best. That's the enjoyment of TV. Whenever they achieve that, I'm with them"

Walter White's journey into Albuquerque's is slow and carefully thought out. The show is exceptionally well written and uses a range of quirky shots and flamboyant Hispanic music to add a bit levity. (0 more)
Season 3 drags and dies not live up to the standard of the rest of the seasons. (0 more)
If you ignore season 3 it's perfect
Breaking Bad is a TV show that I go back to and discover new things I missed each time. Bryan Cranston is incredible: no one else can show such a huge range of emotions in their baggy y fronts!

The best ever
Contains spoilers, click to show
This is an epic journey of a nice guy gone bad as he simply has had enough of being shat on.
We start with a nice mild mannered high school chemistry teacher Walter White (played by Bryan Cranston) who pays his taxes has an average life and finds out he has cancer.
Through his brother in law, a DEA agent and all around asshole, Walter White discovers how with his knowledge of chemistry he can make the purest crystal meth on the street.
Enter Jesse Pinkman (played by Aaron Paul)
an ex student of Mr White and low level weed dealer.
Walter uses Jesse to connect himself to the local alberquerque criminal underworld and begins production.
Over the next few series Walter White evolves into his alter ego Heisenberg, a badass, producer, seller, murderer, and generally all around kingpin of New Mexico.
From dealings with other criminals to Mexican drug cartels and beyond,this is an epic tale of a good man gone bad with murder, revenge, international trafficking, twists and turns all along the way.
It really is an absolute credit to the writers and cast.
It also enforces that you shouldn't underestimate anyone no matter how insignificant they may seem.
