Spellbinding tense thriller that marks one of the most alarming descents into evil on television. It's filled with stirring performances from Cranston, Gunn and Paul. It's not a masterpiece in my books but it is damn near close.

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Великолепный сериал. В нём идеально всё, или почти всё. Все действия персонажей вполне логичны, нету спонтанных решений, которых персонаж принял, лишь в угоду сюжету. А концовка просто идеальна, а идеальна она именно тем, что главный герой получил именно то, что заслужил, история не закончилась как "Всё было хорошо и все жили счастливо". Expand

Great show with interesting anti hero to lead to cast. Impressive acting from all parties. The show holds up well years later. The show does lag a little in season 3 with some meandering plotlines.

Hats off to the cast that made just an excellent work, felt real in every moment, even in the delicate ones (which are the most important).

I like also, that the series showed sexism so often and the injustice to Walter, sometimes it hurt a lot to see such things. But there were some annoying things:
Sometimes the characters acted illogical, the reason were to tell a story and make a drama. This is a common problem in such shows. But here it was ridiculous sometimes, because the show is serious and not like Married with Children or Scrubs.
Secondly: the many us of "you know" and actually. Cant you speak normally?

Popular series tend to grow stale over time, but theI finally had time to rewatch "Breaking Bad", and it has been just as fun as the first time. Definitely one of the best TV series ever made in terms of writing, direction, and acting. Popular series tend to grow stale over time, but the quality is uniform throughout the five seasons here. Everything is crafted so carefully that even the subplots and fillers are worth it. It's basically a crime drama with a lot of focus on exploring the depths of all characters. It's not a new formula but has the perfect balance between action, black comedy, introspection and tragedy. The cast is what makes this series so unique: even though the spot is on Walter and Jesse, the side characters are just as iconic and meticulously written that even potentially boring daily life sequences and family drama events are entertaining. Gus is one of the best villains in television history, but does he really count as a villain? I understand that he could not stay around forever, but after he is gone I couldn't help feeling the void that he left. Hank didn't get the same recognition, but I personally thought that in the end he was one of the most likable and multifaceted characters, and the one with the most realistic development.

Even though I enjoyed the whole series, the first two seasons are by far the best in terms of pacing, development and realism. It's impossible not to binge-watch mid-season one to early season three. Things get bigger and more complicated in later seasons, but basically rely on the same structure and situations of the first two. Season three and four introduce great characters like Gus and Mike, but season finales apart the pacing significantly slows down. A lot of situations also start to repeat themselves: Walter and Skyler have the same conversations every single time, Jesse gets manipulated by Walter and turns against him when finding out, Jesse loses himself and gets saved by Walter in some unorthodox way, etc. Season five tries to change the game a little and mostly succeeds, the second part in particular offers a lot of great moments as all storylines start to close. The ending was maybe a bit low-key, but it felt like the right thing to do without getting too unrealistic and leaving loose ends.

Overall, a great show, albeit flawed. Not the greatest of all time, but top ten if only because there's so much crap out there.

Obviously, the show has created literal cultural icons, impressive for a show with such humble beginnings. There are some issues though, like the amount of filler, story arcs that go nowhere (Marie's stealing), the use of implausible coincidences to push the story forward, events that require the suspension of disbelief (like how Walt manages to not get caught), issues with the timeline (the whole series takes place in a year + one more year of Walt's disappearance, and Hank recovers from a debilitating gunshot wound in a matter of weeks or months.

Better Call Saul picks up the pieces though and makes the universe even better.

I'd give this show a 7.9 if I could, but 8 is fine.

Extremely overrated. I would say watch the first season, and then you've seen what you need to see. It's clear the writers didn't have a plan after that. Cranston and Paul are fun to watch, but doesn't really have legs.

I wont write much about the plot, for I dont want to spoil anything.

The first three seasons are great - more or less. Starting in the third season the plot gets really stretched out, the character development gets thinner and thinner - all in all you can notice, they wanted to do more seasons but couldnt deliver in the same quality they started.

In my eyes the first two seasons were great, the third one mediocre and the last two plain bad. All in all this leaves me with a mediocre 4 as a rating. If i knew, how bad the last two seasons were, I would have stopped watching after season 3 - in that case I would have rated the series with a 7 maybe an 8. But the last two seasons really drag the whole rating down.

EJEMPLOS Walter se devuelve para álbuquerque y coje un carro robado no encontraba las llaves y de repente le caen del cielo eso es un deus ex máquina
La forma en que hank descubre a Walter es casi una tomada de pelo, ni hablar del choque de aviones del final de la segunda temporada justo , justo cae el peluche en la piscina, sin mencionar que de todas las personas del mundo de walt se encontró justo con el padre de Jane en el bar
Breaking Bad era excelente pero muchos de esos conflictos inician de manera facilita , pero creo que la gente los deja pasar por qué es muy famosa y la mayoría no saben de guión, Breaking bad tiene vários (como ese gran deus ex-machina en el que se basa la revelación ha Hank al final de la primera parte de la quinta temporada).
También por ejemplo que Walter haya podido hacer una ametralladora con movimiento, cuando el es químico, no mecánico avanzado.
Esto no tendría un planting narrativo, ya que con anterioridad no se había mostrado que walter white superiera hacer eso.

O por ejemplo cuando en face off Gustavo frink no se subio al carro como si tuviera una especie de sentido arácnido. O lo inverosimil que es Gustavo frink tenga solo media cara quemada de hecho lo opuesto a dónde estaba la bomba, ahora me preguntó por qué todos los cuerpos quedaron rotos, hasta Héctor salamanca quedo sin una pierna y Gustavo frink solo media cara quemada!? A pero claro como fue épico el fandom de breaking bad se lo perdona.

Fanservice: Jesse se salva y Walter se sale con la suya de manera inverosímil a pesar de morir

conveniencias de guion: No solo le sale todo bien a Walter sino que asesina a todos con el deus ex máquina incluyendo a Lidia, da el dinero a los empresarios , etc etc etc etc

Clichés: Escena demasiado trillada en Hollywood del tipo que mata a todos saliéndose con la suya como duro de matar, Rambo, etc, como el cine de acción más convencional Y muchísimas cosas más

Hear me out. I was constantly told how smart and good of a show it was by friends, family and media. So I watched the first season, but then stopped just before the third season out of boredom. I finally finished the show, and I can't expressHear me out. I was constantly told how smart and good of a show it was by friends, family and media. So I watched the first season, but then stopped just before the third season out of boredom. I finally finished the show, and I can't express how disappointed I am. There were very few stellar moments, and most of those were in the first season. Here are my major gripes with the show:

Characters IMO the most important aspect of a show, and BB does not have many interesting or well developed characters. Skyler is an unrealistically **** wife. Jesse is made out to be overly stupid and simplistic, with random emotional outbursts used to cheaply propel the otherwise stagnant plot points. The show tries to hard to make him look stupid, which prevents him from ever saying anything meaningful or deep.

Walt is an absolute mess of a character. Seasons 1-4 he's a bumbling, nerdy, sympathetic character and then season 5 he turns into a "monster" because the show demands it. Most supporting characters are one-dimensional. The "why" for Walt's actions disappears after season 1, and then is only given in season 5 as a fan-service by regurgitating what forums/reviewers mentioned as a sort of "yeah, that's what we meant all along". Yet the argument for the lust for power isn't supported by the actual show, since there aren't many examples of Walt feeling powerful, or becoming empowered by making meth. He's always scared for his life, answering to bigger dogs.

Jesse's friends are just stereotypical meth-heads, zero depth. The coolest bad guy, Tuco, dies way too early.

Gus is just silent/ruthless, so underdeveloped for the sake of "mystery". Contrast this with Ben Linus from LOST who plays a similar character, except way more believably and to far better results.

There's a constant revolving door of characters because, hey, half of the non-essential characters were killed last season for shock value.

2. The Pacing After the very good first season, the show starts rinsing and repeating the same formula:

"Jesse, we need 2 cook" -> someone makes an unrealistically stupid mistake that puts the boys in trouble -> buddy hijinks galore -> "Chemistry **** haha" -> walt has lie to skyler.

Throw some "artistic" shots of NM fauna, awkward breakfast scenes, expository dialogue, and you've got a seasons 2-4. Also, there is very little good dialogue, it's usually just expository and rarely characterizes the characters beyond their initial caricature-izations. The show just drags on, and intense episodes are a rarity.

3. The lack of Intellectualism Besides some "smart" references (Levoisier, some chemistry tidbits) there is nothing smart about the show. Scenes are always screaming at you (This guy is a jerk! Look at how jerky he is! did you notice!! Oh, Look at how angry this character is!!! LOOK!!! CAN YOU SEE????? The show assumes the viewer is retarded and just highlights everything to the point of silliness. It lacked subtlety, and without subtlety there is no complexity.

4. Nothing is explained. Nothing. What is Gus's motivation. What is Mikes motivation, what happened, who is his daughter? What happened at Grey Matter? Anything meaningful about Walt's past.

5. The Bad Guys Shallow. One-dimensional. Temporary. Unexplained. After Tuco's brilliant and temporary tenure, Gus was just an underwhelming attempt at "mysterious" and was totally unexplained, which was super annoying. Why does Gus do what he does? Does he have a family? What caused him to act all robotic and ruthlessly? What was he like in Chile? What was his relationship like with the "hermano" that the Cartel killed? Why?

So, could you please change my view?
