Breaking Bad

Synopsis: Walter White is an over qualified Chemistry teacher working a two dead end jobs to make ends meet. After finding out that he has terminal lung cancer, he decides to sell meth with a former student to leave his family money after he's gone.

What can you say about this show? Pure GENIUS! I absolutely love Breaking Bad! Ever season this situation keeps getting worst and worst and worst. There are many elements that make this film such a fantastic watch. The actiong, characters, story, and situations that would cause most people to break under presure. I remember the first time I saw Breaking Bad, I was somewhat skeptical, however, since I'm a Brian Cratson fan, I decided to watch it... It blew my mind. I knew finally there was another show I could actually watch and enjoy besides Fringe and Alcatraz.

Breaking Bad is one of those shows that can be so addicting because of the drama and situations the characters are thrust in. To many shows these days try to bring amazing drama to the table, but not all can do that. Actually, may ACTULLY do it, but after so many episodes or possibly seasons, the show and story starts to fall apart and hit rockbottom. Breaking Bad filled with amazing drama and suspenses. There are times where you feel so much for the characters, you want to help them out.

One thing I personally enjoy about Breaking Bad is the downard spiral of the character Walter White. By season three, Walter is a completely different person than when he was first introduced at the begin of the series. You can literlly see his transformation from a geeky, loving, husband to a murderous drug-cooking crook. Watching Walter encounter these situations it becomes apparent that Walter knows he falling down the rabit hole -- he knows this, but he has an atitude that says "yeah, my worlds going to shit, but I'm going down with it." In other words, he doesn't care if this new lifestyle will destroy his reputation or anything akin to that as long as his family is provided by after he's gone.

Gus, a mysterious man is such a creepy and cryptic character, you can't help but blink while staring at the TV. You blink for the characters, because this man can hold a gaze like a ninja. He's very intemidating, but what makes him so threatening is the fact that he hides his true self so well you will most likely not know who the "big distrubutor" is when Walter goes to meet him for the first time.

Another character I enjoy a lot is Jesse Pinkman, Walter White's former student/drug dealer. Jesse really helps Walter hold the show in such an intense way that if he was to be written out of the show, Breaking Bad just might fall flat. Another thing interesting about Jesse is the fact that he's SO DAMN UNPREDICTABLE! You have an idea what he might do, however, at times you are surprised by his actions.

Again Breaking Bad is such a fantastic show, I can't help but recomend this show so much. Five Stars out of Five.
