    You get the sense that Breaking Bad is still finding it's feet during season 2. It is an improvement though and one that is noticeable as the drama thickens. We begin to get more from our characters as Breaking Bad's story gets a bit more interesting. It does still have the ability though, to stall at times, just like it did during it's debut season.

We begin to get more from our characters as Breaking Bad's story gets a bit more interesting. It does still have the ability though, to stall at times, just like it did during it's debut season. These few dips in quality throughout deny it the opportunity to thoroughly grip us. However, Walter White begins to show more menace, making season 3 an enticing prospect.… Expand

    Season 2 is where Breaking Bad starts making some strides forwards. This season introduces some genuine emotion from its characters which is awesome. It still isn't at its peak, but it is a fantastic season of television.

    Segunda temporada fue fenomenal, un Walter White cambiando poco a poco su persona, contaminado por el mundo criminal, excelente final de temporada, los nombres que forman los episodios 737," Down "," Over "," ABQ, fueron muy buenos ya que decia lo que se venia al final de temporada.

    this season of breaking bad was very good, it had a plot and performances (especially the protagonist Bryan Cranston) much more interesting than the first season.

    The first solid season of Breaking Bad. While it's definitely not the greatest, I found myself enjoying Breaking Bad for the first time since the episode "Crazy Handful of Nothing", I liked the series in 2010 but only truly came to love it for its later seasons.

    Season 2 really starts to get the chaotic tale of Walter H. White into even deeper dark tones. The characters only seem to improve and watching Walt and Jesse's relationship grow is one that isn't happy or positive, but rather a natural and more reasonable bond that becomes crystallized as the series goes on. The plane finale was ridiculous however, as I feel it was a bit grabbing atSeason 2 really starts to get the chaotic tale of Walter H. White into even deeper dark tones.

A couple other issues aside, the series is only going up on everything.… Expand

    Season 2 improves on the first season, delivering more unexpected thrills, engrossing story lines, and wonderful performances from the cast.

    Somehow even better than the first, season 2 continues from Tucos violent display into a dizzying journey further into the life Walt chose. The mystery of the black and white flashfoward conclude in an extravagant revelation.

    Final Thoughts:

    Breaking Bad maintains its deliciously devious delivery and ramps up the series's intensity for its second run. As the characters' ever-deadlier choices lead to some chilling consequences, we watch a talented cast unravel and try to keep themselves from completely falling apart while searching for the same hope that got them into the mess to begin with.

    Breaking Bad maintains its deliciously devious delivery and ramps up the series's intensity for its second run. As the characters' ever-deadlier choices lead to some chilling consequences, we watch a talented cast unravel and try to keep themselves from completely falling apart while searching for the same hope that got them into the mess to begin with. Tense and compelling, good momentum is often hampered by some slow spots, and, like the season before, Breaking Bad struggles to use that momentum to bring its tension to a satisfying conclusion.

    Season 2 of Breaking Bad is not nearly as good as season 1. The story line slows down a little bit and the season really focuses on the main character's stories.

    Season 2 of Breaking Bad is my least favourite of the show, however, the season is still great and I heavily recommend it.

    Breaking Bad works as an unabashedly bold story about a man in extremis, told with the iconographic and ironic sensibility of Quentin Tarantino.

    For all its bleakness and darkness, there's a glowing exhilaration about this series: It's a feel-good show about feeling really bad.

    Breaking Bad is indeed so flat-out superb it appears to be operating at a different level than just about everybody else save AMC's own "Mad Men" and maybe a couple of shows over at FX.
