Breaking Bad: Season 1 (3 Discs)

I didn't know much about Crystal Meth before i watched this series! All i knew was that it was another name for Speed! So after watching the series, i thought i would read up on Crystal Meth and see what type of effects it has had on people throughout the years. I am saddened by what this drug has caused many people to do, risk, lose. It really is saddening.

Not only is the effects of Meth on people and the way they are affected a serious subject, so is the number of people dying from Cancer, esp Lung cancer, not from just smoke inhalation.

So that is why we need humour to lift up the sadness of these two taboo subjects. We raise awareness of cancer. We help those with a drug addiction. But when a series is written so well and acted out so efficiently and provocatively, it not only makes you think but with the added humour makes you realise that you have a life and all you can be in life is happy!

Sorry if the start of this review is too serious. I would like to say how eye opening this series is, how greatly acted, how deep it is, how serious it is yet at the same time humourous. You have to laugh when you are down!

Everyone in this series deserves an award especially Brian. I had seen him in Malcolm in the Middle but that was just silly humour acting but this is dark humour.

I really can't put into words how amazing this show is. I bought directly after buying Dexter and have to say, this comes above it. I can't believe the second season is so expensive!

Aaron Paul is another good actor.

Well done.

What a way to debut a show. There might not be that many episodes in this series, but quality prevails over quantity. Also, I've seen the other two series and they maintain the brilliant standards they set all the way through...HIGHLY recommended show, can't wait for Series 4.

a flawlessly produced and directed series with outstanding acting and a perfect cast. original, clever and funny with a real sense of desperation and tragedy at times. this is something not to be missed.

This is hands down the best show I have ever seen! Prison break was good but this is beyond words.

The main character is amazing in the role and the other actors are amazing.

You simply have to see this.

Breaking Bad follows high school chemistry teacher Walter White who, having discovered he has inoperable cancer, decides to use his scientific knowledge to produce and sell crystal meth in order to provide for his family after he is gone.

While this may at first seem a little far fetched the brilliant writing and performances keep the show grounded in reality whilst also providing huge amounts of entertainment. Managing to be both funny and moving throughout this entire first season Breaking Bad is TV at its best.
