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.

I don't think season three is as structurally perfect as season two, and even after a rewatch there are some elements that don't work as well as they should. But the season is so visually and thematically ambitious that it doesn't really matter.

5/5

Tightly written and punctuated with Coen brothers-like humour, Breaking Bad is, rather appropriately for a show about meth dealers, eye-bleedingly addictive. I defy you not to become hooked.

A television show is at its best when the real drama occurs beneath the surface of the screen. That's exactly what is happening with this third season of Breaking Bad, and the effect is marvelous.

4.75/5

This is where Breaking Bad becomes the contender for greatest show of all time. Here, Breaking Bad finds it's perfect tone and gives us the most tension-fueled episodes of the show yet. From this point forward, it is a nonstop ride to the series finale.
