when i watched the first few episodes ,they got me crazy ,you know.
so then i downloaded 4 Seasons. that took me around 1 Month.it was 20 GB after all.
really the best series i have watched.Watching Season 1 for now.
just finished up Season 1 of Prison Break.
it was like my heart was going to come out while watching the last few minutes of las and the second-last episodes.
Amazing man.....
I first thought of posting a review as I finish Season1 but I just could not wait for Season 2 to begin and when season 2 begun, it had to be finished.
I did not watched "Breaking Bad", I kinda gulped it. Last two days I was 1 hr late to go office, because while doing my breakfast I started watching the series. And as an episode starts it had to be finished. One day I left it unfinished and the whole time in office I was thinking about it.
Season1 (Review may contain spoiler)
Season1 started well. I was already briefed about the concept. And I found that not a new concept at all.
I had already seen few movies in same concept. Short Time and our own "Gambler" are in exact same line. Other than that shows like Dexter is quite similar with the concept (Leading a dual life is only reason for Dexter)
One terminally ill middle class chemistry teacher wants to leave some money for his family and for that he takes a short cut.
The first episode told me what I wanted to see. Nothing new, not impressed. Second episode things picked up. 3rd I liked but 4th and 5th bored me to death. Same family drama...another such episode I would have left it unfinished and did not even bother to check second season.
And I'm glad that I watched episode 6 of season 1. Since then I've not got time to do anything apart from checking out the next episode of "Breaking Bad".
Episode 6 and 7 are mind blowing. Period.
Season 2 review
Season 2 is perfect. Just perfect I don't have any complain against it. Since episode 1 to 13 I just gulped it like anything.
General opinion (spoiler alert)
First thing is story idea and screenplay. Though story idea is not new but the presentation and screenplay is rock solid. I just so so tried to find any technical fault, loopholes, weak logic but I failed in every aspect!!! And I'm happy that I failed.
This is where it scores over Dexter to me. Dexter would be close to my heart anyday but it has faults. Things just happen in Dexter. People just die, things just turn out right for Dexter and no satisfying explanation give.
But in "Breaking Bad" you can't question any plot twist or turn of events. They are well explained, though the pace is slowed a tiny bit but that does not affect story. I would say that actually satisfied me as it did not give me chance to complain.
It sure suffers from using cliches.
Scene where Walt refuses to use Gretchen's money I knew a considerable number of minutes would be spent to handle this issue. It happened but in a subtle way. In other shows I've seen them making such matters too loud. I call these plots a trap. Every director falls for them one day or another day. Its so lucrative to lengthen the story and show conflict plus scope of acting.
Then the episode where Hank goes to Mexico. Season 2 ended but I see no sign how that helped the story. But I so hope that is explained later, if not I would be really disappointed. The director falling for another trap. Lengthening roles of popular side characters. Does not add to story but refreshes your boredom of watching the tussle of main characters.
Another scene is Walt and Jesse getting stuck in the middle of nowhere. The scene told too much the moment it started. The scene where Jesse puts car key in ignition was so closely shown any one could guess what might be coming providing they were planning to stay for 4 days. The thing to see was how they get out. They got out but the screenplay stuck to realism and no miracles happened.
Another trap is showing conflict between the main leads. Which have had to come and it was brought by Krysten Ritter as Jesse's GF. But this character was done away with. I find it too early to such step. But may be the directors thought about sticking to the basics. May be later they would bring the conflict in a more vicious shape between Walt and Jesse.
Acting wise I've become a fan of Aaron Paul. He just made the character of Jesse a reality. Till now not for even a moment I felt the character Jesse is not real or acted.
Bryan Cranston as Walt seemed a veteran who is roaming a known turf. The emotions are so natural to him. He's a class.
Hank, Skyler and Walter Jr. all the characters are played perfectly.
Enough already, can't wait to start with Season 3.
^So in short, season 1's start is a bit bouncy? I have heard so much about this show. Since most of my regular TV shows are on break, I guess this is next on the list.

I was expecting so much to happen. Butt he only interesting thing that happened - happened for that last 1 second of the episode. Rest of the episode was just okay. Not up to the show standards.
