    Season 3 was the season Breaking Bad really took of for me, by the end of the season I found myself not being able to stop thinking about the show 24/7. I have to admit the episode “Fly,” is the worst in the series.

    Season 3 of Breaking bad is amazing. Walter White slowly but surely starts to become his alternate identify of Heisenberg, a ruthless drug kingpin ready to make any decision, good or bad that would benefit the safety of his life.

Even The character of Gustavo Fring is indimidating, and a perfect villian that Walter and Jesse will have to face of against. My personal favorite episodes of the season are, half measure, full measure and I see you. Once again, Breaking bad gives off another solid season with unpredictable twists, memorable characters and a jaw dropping cliffhanger that will leave you wanting more.… Expand

    This season makes you question the characters you loved as well as the ones you hate, it is really the point where Walter's intelligence starts to come through more. It gives you mixed feeling about all characters and makes you curious of how far they are willing to go. This season makes you wonder about all the characters and what they will go through later on in the show.

    Some of the very best episodes of the series are in Season 3, a season which, while not, in my opinion, as amazing as the second season, still provides that dark sense of humor, awesome violence, fully realized characters, and fully developed storyline that made the series so great. If you've seen the first two seasons, there is absolutely no reason that you shouldn't see season 3.

    Sezon 3 jest arcydziełem w każdym tego słowa znaczeniu. Atmosfera jest mroczna, muzyka idealnie dobrana, a aktorzy wydają się być granymi przez siebie postaciami. To jeden z najważniejszych seriali jaki kiedykolwiek powstał. Dajcie nam więcej!!!!

    This season was a complete masterpiece, the complete writing, the way that Jesse changed was simply amazing. And of course Gus Fring is one of the most intense villains in TV history, in this season he wasn't very explored, but of course that would change next season to come. This season has one of my favorite episodes of the series: Half Measure. 10/10

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. The third season of Breaking Bad, about the teacher Walter "Heisenberg" White (Bryan Cranston) gone meth kingpin and his partner Jesse Pinkman (Aaron Paul), takes the series to a new direction. With the weaker season 2, season 3 is packed with lots of action. The first big antagonists, Gus Fring (Giancarlo Esposito) and his partner Mike Ehrmantraut (Jonathan Banks), is properly introduced (they were both briefly in season 2). Skyler (Anna Gunn) has left Walter. Jesse is in chock over the death of his girlfriend Jane (Krysten Ritter). DEA agent and Walter's brother-in-law Hank Schrader (Dean Norris) can't keep up with the man only known as "Heisenberg". Meanwhile, two twins are after Walter and Hank. I really think this was a big upswing for the series. Instead of the focus on drama and dark comedy, season 3 takes both genres, but spice it up with lots of action. Again, this series proves why this is one of the best shows ever (for me, it's my favourite).

Jesse turns into a real pain, Skyler into an ambiguous manipulator, a liar, an accomplice. In this series Walt and Sky relationship is totally dysfunctional and I really hoped they would divorce.

    Most overrated Show I watched in the last few years.
    I really liked the first two seasons but then I kinda lost respect for Walt. He started to make stupid decisions that got him deeper and deeper into trouble just because he wants to help Jessie who also gets himself in trouble all the time.

    I want to yell at them all the time to just work and stop whining and killing people, because then they could have an easy live where everything difficult is dealt with for them. Like the Money and so on. I can understand obstacles that have to keep the plot exciting but these resolve themself at the beginning of the next episode anyway so why the drama?

    Thats another point - the drama. The constant whining and **** without really explaining anything. Especially Skyler is really really annoying in season 3. And who decided that Jessie and Walt should drift apart. Ok, some difficulties here and there should be in the script but why the hell don't these two appreciate what they have done for each other. Especially Jessie who gets his ass saved for the millionth time by Walt. And when he escapes death one more time he goes arround doing more stupid stuff.

    Man, this annoyed me to death.
    It's a shame because its well played, good cast and some very interesting ideas.
    But the chemistry between Jessie and Walt and the decisions that are made because of that ruins everything for me.    … Expand

    Overall season 3 runs triumphant. The show verges on the edge of perfection as emotions run high and lies slowly find some daylight, if a bit muddled. The cast turns superb performances and, with the exception of a slower episode or two, proves to be the best Breaking Bad season so far. This show is on a huge upswing at this point.

Most of the season has go through events of devastation, suspense, heart-breaks, doubt, and the value of business, which puts our anti-heroes against their own humanity and complexity, even though there are calm moments. But, sadly, throughout the last two seasons, there would be little calm situations, and it decreases lower, lower, and lower, until in the very end. That's what Breaking Bad truly pioneering.

    From where the second season finale left off, protagonist Walter White (Bryan Cranston) tries to cope with the aftermath of the devastating plane crash, which shocks the whole town of Albuquerque. That's not the only problem he has; he also must deal with the friction of his marriage with his wife Skyler (Anna Gunn), who now knows that his own husband is a drug manufacturer, and couldn't talk to their son, Walt Jr, aka "Flynn" (RJ Mitte), about it. With the outcome of his new distributor Gus (Giancarlo Esposito). With the partnership with his recovering drug-addicted protege, Jesse (Aaron Paul), who is depressed after the death of his girlfriend, Jane. With handling with his and Jesse's lawyer, Saul Goodman (Bob Odenkirk), who becomes to become the season's most funniest character. And with hiding his progress from his brother-in-law, Hank Schrader (Dean Norris) who struggles to deal with the menacing trauma of his storyline in the previous season, and his wife Marie (Betsy Brandt) tries to connect with him. Later, Hank goes through more traumatizing events that nearly got him killed, causing him to "step off" for a little while. Walt and Jesse later realizes more about their new boss, growing friction and tension between them three, which continues in the next season, which results in a game of violence, betrayal, deception, and the value of meth, that continued to ravage until in the fourth season finale.

    So far, we have many of the best episodes in the show, so far, and neither any other episode in the show is bad. Meanwhile "One Minute", "Half Measures", and "Full Measures" had an enormous build-up
    of suspense in its final moments, then "Fly" focuses deeply on an ordeal formula on its two leads, as they struggle to cope with each others' feelings and emotions, picking up the path that "Cat's in the Bag..." and "Four Days Out" left off. It looks like Vince Gilligan and his team of talented writers never runs out of ideas.

    As the storytelling was purely well-toned, it was ultimately the performances and the direction that turns it into "gold". As Bryan Cranston's performance as Walt turns himself into a darker figure, Aaron Paul's performance as Jesse starts to grow a bit more mature, organized, and calmer, than the old Jesse,
    meanwhile never giving up his sense of humor, and becomes more "tortured" than anyone in the series. Many performances of the cast starts to turn into darker, mature, or serious figures, as
    Odenkirk's Saul is one of the series' funniest high points, and never lets down. Esposito is yet a standout as Walt's cold-blooded distributor, whose soft-spoken nature often complicates the environment surrounding him and the ones that make contact with him. That's what makes him
    awesome. The acting has actually grown into more of maturity rather than having to be goofy, and that
    is what makes Breaking Bad so pioneering.

    Breaking Bad's 3rd season is like every fan expected it to be. It turns a dark comical series that begins to progress much further into much of its darker and serious content, and not everyone stops to accomplish it. The show has expanded, it is riveting, and it will soon grow upon its title to become one of TV's finest moments, meanwhile embracing its original core much tighter than ever.    … Expand

    I honestly would have stopped watching Breaking Bad at season 3 if not for the stellar reviews the final season received. Walt is the least likable character I've ever seen on a successful television show, and I don't say that lightly. He's a bad liar; he's petty; and despite what everyone seems to think, he is certainly not a badass. There are a lot of good moments in this show.

    By Season 3 however the game has changed. The main character allows himself to be treated like dirt by his wife, who fast becomes one of the most annoying characters on television. Her high-handed, hypocritical, judgemental (and occasionally irrational) moralisation detracts from the complexities of the family's position. Meanwhile, the fact that the main character's response is humility is specifically frustrating.

    On the other hand we have the main character and his sidekick/partner fighting "cat and dog" as one character puts it. The reason for their disagreements seem tenuous. This relationship was the underpinning of the series; so its near absence detracts greatly from Breaking Bad Season 3. The new "Big Bad" cartel boss, whilst initially, expertly portrayed, soon veers off into implausibility. Sloppy writing "where did the baby disappear", idiocy "are you going to pepper spray me?" and character changes "lets buy a car-wash" abound. There is no episode without flaws, although episode 5, "Más", is by far the weakest. *pity*    … Expand

    Season 3 of Breaking Bad is the worst one of Breaking Bad, because Walter keeps saying things he would probably never say in real life and it keeps it from being believable. However it is still the best TV show you will find to date.

The ratings are fine, but it seems unlikely that this story can continue credibly for more than that many seasons. Then again - I thought they'd written themselves into a corner after Season 2, but they escaped brilliantly.

I would recommend this TV show to someone who loves cliff- hangers, violence, the chemistry of meth, and hilarious characters, with a absolutely perfect storyline. Can't wait for season four!!… Expand

    I've never seen anything like it, refreshingly original and brutally logical. Brilliantly cast and acted all around. It manages to stay unpredictable with absolutely no hint of jumping the shark. Just watch it.

    Wow, can I say about this great show?



    This is easily the best show on television right now, and season 3 is keeping the pace going. While Vince Gilligan and the crew did have some slower establishing episodes early on, the episode "Mas" blew the doors off the barn. Such great writing, great acting, mind-blowing cinematography, gorgeous audio and painstaking attention to detail goWow, can I say about this great show?

    When people ask me to recommend good TV, they never seem to have heard about it. Yup, Breaking Bad is that series.

    The bleakness is a little relentless for my taste, but you have to marvel at the series' dark vision. Odenkirk is working with the best of the best, and he knows it.

    Breaking Bad has, in short, everything you could want from an hour-long show: suspense, laughs, danger, and poignance.
