"Breaking Bad"
The series premiere of "Breaking Bad" aired Sunday, September 29. The series began in 2008 and lasted for five seasons. The main characters of the show were Walter White and Jesse Pinkman who continuously shocked their viewers on a weekly basis during air time. Breaking Bad is a drama amongst all dramas.
The show was played on AMC and it seems that anyone who watches it gets instantly attached. It’s sad to think that the show that holds an astonishing 9.4 rating out of 10 on IMDB is ending so soon. With a busy work schedule that leads me to miss the new episodes that air on Sunday nights, I am excited to tune back into the show when it is released on DVD.
Anyway, for people who never saw the show, it’s about a chemistry highschool teacher, Walter White. Walter is diagnosed with lung cancer and can ultimately see his life come to an abrupt stop as he figures out how he is going to take care of himself and his family. He thinks of a master plan to start cooking the purest form of meth for a profit to ensure his families financial stability after his death. He teams up with a past student of his, Jesse Pinkman, since he needs someone who will know how to sell the product. This pair goes through many ups and downs and each episode resembles a roller coaster ride on where the duo will end up next.
Here's a comedy compilation I found on YouTube that I found fun to watch and it gave me the chance to take a look back on some of the greatest moments of this series.
Honestly, I fully recommend this show to anyone who is into a good drama series. On the Andi’s scale, I easily give the show the full 5 Andi’s. The characters captured my attention through all four and a half seasons that I’ve watched so far. I loved the drama and excitement but I also loved the relationships on the show. You would never think that the extremely intelligent chemistry high school teacher would pair up with the “bad boy” who didn’t pay attention during his class and experiments with drugs as a hobby. Characters were played in this show that you would never imagine would ever do the things they do, yet you believe it every second of the way.
With the series ending, I guess we only have the spin off series based off of the lawyer Saul Goodman to look forward to. Any opinions on this yet? AMC picked it up so it gives me some hope that it will turn out to be a good show. To learn a little more about the spin off series, check out this article. "Breaking Bad" Saul Goodman
Good overall introduction to the show, i'm glad you didn't include any spoilers! I haven't gotten to watch the final episode yet! As always I love reading your blog, good work.
ReplyDeleteOh my god...I watched it and about DIED. I love BB so much. You're totally in for a treat when you watch the rest of the series. It's a total mind game, and I can promise you that You won't see some things coming. I really liked the way you explained the show. It does it perfect justice for those people who haven't seen it.
ReplyDeleteHow do we take this to the next step? What does the show say about society? Why are so many popular shows built around criminals or dark characters? Always bring something to the table beyond what I can find elsewhere.
