Mild-mannered high school chemistry teacher Walter White thinks his life can't get much worse. His salary barely makes ends meet, a situation not likely to improve once his pregnant wife gives birth, and their teenage son is battling cerebral palsy. But Walter is dumbstruck when he learns he has terminal cancer. Realizing that his illness probably will ruin his family financially, Walter makes a desperate bid to earn as much money as he can in the time he has left by turning an old RV into a meth lab on wheels.

Matt Zoller Seitz

New York Magazine/Vulture

Episode for episode and scene for scene, season two is a great example of how to intensify personal stories with images that have metaphoric dimensions but don't push too hard, instead letting their meanings emerge through spectacle.

Scary, funny, dramatic, and honestly moving, Breaking Bad is remarkable television that pulls off that amazing trick of feeling both genuine and completely original at the same time.

Rated: 5/5

Here's a show that does proper suspense. This energetic, darkly comic and slightly trippy adventure into the drug underworld demonstrates how, if the drugs themselves don't induce paranoia, then the dealing will.

While the show is still finding it's footing in regards to tone, the 2nd season takes the dark comedy and drama to new heights. Walt and Jessie's attempts to run their own meth business leads to series standout characters and storylines.

Rated: 4.25/5

Even stronger than the superb first run. It takes all the elements that worked and cranks them up... adding an almost Vonnegut-esque sense of bleak whimsy to the increasingly surreal proceedings.

Rated: 9/10
