Breaking Bad

I can do nothing more than continue to slobber all over this show, so I’ll keep this brief. I watched it from the very start, watched each episode when it aired. I was hooked on the set up and the characters. How was Walt’s story going to come to an end? What would become of Jesse through this? Each episode built on the last, the escalation and execution of events being pulled off almost flawlessly. The scenarios this show went through every season is an exercise in brilliance. Intense, funny, shocking and most importantly, believable.

The writing, the acting, the directing, the editing! A perfect storm that came together for 5 of the best seasons on television. I really can’t think of a bad episode. A throw away time that could be excised and not missed. That’s incredibly rare. A beginning, a middle and end that I think is one of the most brilliant stories ever told. Some of the best and most memorable characters will live on for generations in Breaking Bad. Long after stuff like Lost and Dexter are lost to time, Breaking Bad will be passed down and talked about as a high mark in television.

I loved the end. All the final pieces came together. The continued display of brains and intensity coming together to one of the most satisfying conclusions in any medium. Thank you to every man and woman responsible for making Breaking Bad possible. It was a hell of a ride.
