  The Best Show on TV

| | See all drlowdon's reviews (465)

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.

Couldn't watch this on tv as clashed with various other things but was interested as I like Bryan Cranston and adored Malcolm in the middle. Got the 1st season a few days ago and watching an episode a day,really enjoying it,will be ordering season2 as well!

  Excellent Debut.

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.

  Best thing I've seen since Sopranos

| | See all redants1972's reviews (2)

I watched the first two epsiodes round a mates house last night and I am completely hooked. From what I've seen so far this show is absolutely remarkable and the acting from Bryan Cranston is truly mesmerising. I have just ordered the series off of Play and look forward to watching the rest of the season as soon as possible. From the comments here I reckon I am in for a real treat!. Seriously people you have to buy this and watch it immediately!

  The best TV show ever made...even better than The Wire

This show is quite simply stunning. I started series 1 with high expectations (which often leads to disappointment). But unlike other dramas, from series 1 through to series 3 it has just got better and better and BETTER. So original, brilliantly acted and the script is outstanding in every episode it keeps you totally glued whether fast or slow paced, action or simply conversations. The perfect balance between black humour and emotional turmoil...everything you could want in a TV show.

Absolutely incredible, everyone should see this show.

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.

  Great t.v show that seems to be watched by few

| | See all smileyoreilly's reviews (1)

You all know Bryan Cranstan be it in Malcolm in the Middle, How i met your mother cameo ect, but his acting skills are immpecable and you can truely feel as a viewer how he feels.

Breaking Bad is a very dark show, Don't be put off by any scenes in the first three episodes. The show is a mix of chemistry and drama, how a normal guy can turn to bad (hence breaking bad)

There is some immpecable timing, i'm not goint to place a spoiler but in the 2nd episode i think was Brilliant.

Music in the show is very well done, Rodico and gabrella and the hole by glenn phillips was very well placed after a great episode.

Characters in the show actually have character! They are NOT predicable, which is very good..

Just watch it, i'm not sure i can convince you any more.
