My review of Breaking Bad
Intro: Well, that's one way of getting kids interested in chemistry.
The Parents: Boo! Boo! Boo!
Me: Hey! I didn't say it was the best way. Also, you can't complain about a problem and have issues with the solution.
The nickname for this show should be How to Be a Drug Dealer 101? Seriously this series shows you the do's and don't when selling drugs. That's what I like about this series selling drugs is a learning curve for the main characters and it can be funny and suspenseful at the same time. This series is also a character study of how an everyday man can go down the wrong path. Although we've seen this story before this series made feel fresh and real. Also, the main character is 50 years old. How many 50-year-old men do you know that want to be a drug dealer? Really this series could have been based on a true story. ( If it is then I stand corrected.) This show does a good job of keeping us guessing, building suspense, and have funny moments. I'm fond of the way this series was shoot, because it uses visuals to tell the story. I appreciate that this show isn't completely focused on Walter White/ Heisenberg because you don't want him to overshadow everything else about this series. We see the cause and effect of everyone's actions the show foreshadows that. You can argue that the theme of this series is obsession almost everyone is obsessed with something.
Walter White/Heisenberg went from a modest family man to a ruthless, arrogant and selfless drug dealer. It's understandable why he would fall from grace because he's dying, going through a midlife crisis and doesn't feel respected by almost anyone. His transformation makes it hard for me to root for him because he has done some horrible things in this series. The hints that he has issues with his mother but the show doesn't explore that. He wouldn't have to sell meth if he let people help him.
Skyler White is the most hated character on this show! I understand why I mean she doesn't respect Walter as the man of the house. You can care about someone but not respect them plus she almost babies him. Plus she did some messed up things most of them are not justified. I would have sympathy for her if she got out of the situation when she had the chance.
I'm surprised fans don't despise Marie Schrader (Hank's wife and Skyler's sister) as much as they do Skyler. She's nosy, vain and likes to shoplift. To be fair the reason why she does this is because she has some mental problems and OCD. Despite that, she is a loving person.

Jesse Pinkman is a street-smart and lazy when it comes to pushing himself. He has a love-hate relationship with Walter White, to be fair Jesse didn't give Walter a lot of reasons to trust him. Despite being a slacker, you do feel sorry for him. It's interesting how he parallels with Walter White. The only complaint I have with him is the writers tried too hard to make yeah Bxxxh his catch phase.
Mike is a hitman with a heart. I'm surprised that Mike and Walter are not close because they have the same motivations for what they do but Mike sees that Walter is in trouble. We learn that he use to be a cop I would like to know more about that.
Saul Goodman is Walter's shade lawyer and the comic relief.
Hank Schrader is Walter's brother-in-law who works for the DEA and he's outspoken. I wish I could say that he's the hero in this series, but he isn't. I'm not saying he isn't a good cop but he can be a douchbag. He says offensive things, punches people and was willing to get someone killed to catch Heisenberg. Also, he doesn't have to stomach to work for the DEA, well see him having panic attacks and throwing up.
Gus is a friendly low-key businessman in public in private he's a brilliant yet scary kingpin. What makes him scary is how casual he is with killing people and when someone wants to kill him, he calls their bluff. He's also very cautious about who he does business with and he has eyes everywhere.

One of the gripes I have with this show is the first episode of season three. Season two build up to that episode and it was a letdown. Speaking of episodes the last three episodes of season 5 seems depressing to me. I also notice some editing mistakes in the series. You can argue that this show is not subtle about being anti-drug war. Overall, this is a fine show, if you like crime dramas then I would recommend this.
