There's been so much raves and praise for the TV series "Breaking Bad", but when my friend Jas told me that this was a drama I just HAD to see, well , that was all the recommendation i needed! As the entire series had just ended and was all available for purchase, this was the right time to get off my duff and grab 'em! Costco was selling the DVD box set containing all Six Seasons for about 180.00, but when I realized I could buy the individual Seasons on DVD on ebay for about 13.00 apiece, I knew that that was the way to go! In just a few weeks, I had all the DVDs at my disposal, and the viewing began!
Some have said that the show was "glorifying Drugs" while others claimed the show "silly and unrealistic", but for me, Breaking Bad, from the GET GO, seemed more like a really cool Graphic Novel in the vein of "Road To Perdition"or "V for Vendetta". In that context, the fantastic seems believable, the evil acceptable and the violence the razzle dazzle! MAN, what an awesome piece of WORK this show was!!!
I don;t know HOW they did it, but this story of a Mild-mannered Science Teacher, who, when he finds out he has cancer, falls to a life of crime to support the expensive payments and to make sure his family is taken care of, was written and executed with such singular vision from the first episode of Season one all the way down to the explosive final episode in Season Six! Really, Breaking bad was like an EPIC Six-Chaptered mega-moive for the masses!
