## Description

Emmy® Award winner Bryan Cranston stars as Walter White, a down-on-his-luck chemistry teacher struggling to make ends meet for his wife (Anna Gunn) and physically challenged son (RJ Mitte). Everything changes when Walter receives a startling diagnosis: terminal lung cancer. With only a few years to live and nothing to lose, Walter uses his training as a chemist to cook and sell crystal meth with one of his former students (Aaron Paul). As his status grows, so do his lies, but Walt will stop at nothing to make sure his family is taken care of after he’s gone, even if it means putting all their lives on the line. Executive produced by Vince Gilligan and Mark Johnson.

Review: Heisenberg ? Uncertainty ? Yo ! - This has bleak, black humour and represents the depth to which our post-modern world has descended. But why do i love it ? How ordinary ? Mr White ? We all had teachers called Mr White and even Jesse continues to call him that throughout their fraught and lethal relationship. Well its either that or 'bitch'. Characterisation is everything and this series really does develop each of the main contenders. But Walter is the star. We admire his intellect and sympathise with his plight as an underachieving chemistry teacher at odds with his financial failure, while his contempories make it rich. The effort to make extra income from the car wash and the humiliating embarrassment that this brings serves to remind us of our own failures and shortcomings. But we don't turn to crime and attempt to lessen the impact on our consciences by lieing to all our loved ones as well as ourselves. This is what Walter does and it gets deeper and deeper, darker and darker until you begin to realise that his position at any given time in the series is unpredictable as well as the velocity or pace at which he moves. Heisenberg is a brilliant alias for Walter. Part of you wants Walter to succeed, because of his at first, apparent motives for doing so. He is dieing of cancer and wants (not needs) to leave his family with financial security, given that his son has cerebral palsy and his wife Skyler is expecting a child and him just turned fifty. His disarming, calm and slightly diffident manner along with his well known illness make him perfect for getting under the radar of DEA and police. The spiral of decline into drug crime, drags everyone he loves along with him until all are tainted directly or indirectly with the sad immorality of human weakness - desire, greed, hate, envy, lust and total lack of any consideration for others. Being responsible for the consequences of your actions is a huge part of the philosophy of utilitarianism that underlies much of American values and in this series the writers have provided us with a brilliant ambivilance to this as represented in the hero/villain Walter. The knock on effect of his actions are interwoven so well - the flight control officer, whose daughter Walter watches choke to death on her own vomit, is so affected by this trajedy that he ends up being responsible for a mid air collision, killing hundreds. Then we see Walter reluctantly addressing the whole school about the issue as part of a group therapy where everyone in Albuquerque has been seen in need of counselling. Walter tells everyone that there is still a positive side to this trajedy - 'it is only the 53rd worse air crash in history' ! It is really bleak at times - but it is also very funny. The hitman for the drug boss is seen returning his lovely grandchildren back to their mummy in their beautiful middle class home where they are encouraged to say bye bye to 'pop pop' - not grandpa or grandpappy. The very next scene we see him shooting three Mexican drug adversaries - 'pop' 'pop' 'pop' ! Just like that. It is excellent acting by the cast, the New Mexico desert and townscapes provide room for escape, the study in evil, the tragi-comic script, tension and audience participation where you feel you can make the decisions, good or bad, on behalf of Walter. I read somewhere where it was called a 'dramedy', a new genre of Tv movie. It is great entertainment - and you will not regret entering the quantum world of Walter White.
Review: Constantly equals and frequently surpasses the many superlatives heaped on it! - And here come some more. Oh my God! This is, no contest, the most drop-dead, gasp for breath, shout at the screen, run-around-the-block-at-the end-of-every-episode in sheer exultation series I've ever seen on TV. It's a unique, sustained, tragi-comic masterpiece of the very highest quality - in any medium. To put it in context, I adored the Sopranos from start to finish; my wife and I have watched the whole set several times, having accumulated all the disks from around season 4, when we first got hooked. Other programmes we've loved as a couple have been Huff: a delightful surprise and, in its time, another product of taking a chance with the desertcart reviewers of seemingly similar taste and being blown away by the quality of the work. If it helps you into our mind-set, the same thing goes for Rome, in its way; and ditto for mutual matrimonial appreciation of Boardwalk Empire. Jimmy McGovern's The Street, Mad Men and the Andy Whitfield Spartacus also make it onto our conjugal video juke-box - although on slightly differing criteria, respectively. So that's a couple of factors to frame my absolute respect for Breaking Bad and its creators: the fact that my wife loves it, too - and I trust you can see from the above that we're selective with our devotions - plus the rare justification of a same-breath mention with, above all, the Sopranos. Indeed, if the creators of Huff and the Sopranos teamed up with the Cohen Brothers... you might just about get into the quality zone established by Breaking Bad. My gratitude goes to the combined deities of taste, luck and internet browsing for dropping me onto the Breaking Bad page a couple of months ago. It could have been one of the better "if you liked this" links; then the synopsis and reviews - at that point, intriguing and suggestive, rather than fully bought into. Well, thanks Heavens for chance, informed guesswork and 1-Click! Because season 1 of Breaking Bad arrived soon thereafter. Still not entirely convinced that Sarah would go for it (actually at the "possibly" rather than "probably" point right then) I left it a couple of weeks before we ventured on the first episode... ...and that was it - hooked from the start! Amazing! Family narrative, left field content, a plot that never stops thickening, oblique ideas centre stage, difficult moments and material, hilarious comedy, quite astonishing action set pieces, suspense. And some of the longest conversations, effortlessly engaging, moving, touching, side-splitting and the rest, that TV has been brave enough to entertain for a long time. For me, it's the ultimate compliment; that is, a flawless, no compromise, sustained reciprocal compliment to the audience's intelligence. Combined with sheer entertainment value - and here we are getting into Shakespearian territory - Breaking Bad cannot be judged any less than, as I said, superlatively superlative! Oh, by the way, that's me doing the shouting, because I'm so excited. Please don't let me mislead you: my glee and enthusiasm is stirred by the quiet subtlety and sheer good taste that more accurately characterises Breaking Bad than my ravings do. My excuse for the hurrahs and eurekas is the comparative rarity of this level of artistic brilliance, well, anywhere nowadays. It really is quite magnificent. Literally never a dull moment. With Breaking Bad, it's actually almost an "of course" paragraph to mention the cast (every single character selling every single line and moment to maximum, utterly authentic value); the overwhelming cinematic production values, photography, soundscape (glorious for home cinema), music - even the dressing of the actors - sublime editing. But it must be done; as the team assembled here, with the world-class writing they have to work with, pulls off some of the greatest televisual strokes ever accomplished. I ordered season 2 after 3 episodes. These quickly followed by 3 and 4 from desertcart Germany (thanks again to desertcart contributors - yes, they come packaged for the German market but with pure English disks in the box). With just 2 episodes left, we've gone through all 4 series from start to end in one unbroken sequence. And, guess what; yes, we'll be starting all over again as soon as we've finished. It starts great and just keeps getting, miraculously, better. Superb. This should be the most celebrated TV programme of all, by any fair standards. So, whatever: do yourself an unregrettable favour and join the comparatively rare but incomparably satisfied fan-base of this exquisite programme. Now, please.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ The best series I have watched in a long time
*by D***S on 20 December 2011*

There are only seven episodes in this first series of Breaking Bad but I was so hooked I watched them back to back - it has been a very long time since I have felt that enthralled by any series. The synopsis below does not give anything away beyond the first episode. The first episode opens with Walt (played by Bryan Cranston) walking away from a burning RV, gun in hand minus his trousers and with police sirens blaring in the distance. The scene looks bizarre and surreal as Walt couldn't look anything less like a criminal if he tried. The story then switches back to the present day and begins to fill in the gaps as to how he came to be in that position. This is a technique used frequently in both series one and two. Walt, a middle class, law abiding chemistry teacher discovers that at the age of 50 he has terminal lung cancer. He is working two jobs to keep the family finances afloat. His oldest son, Walt Junior has cerebral palsy and his wife, Skylar finds herself unexpectedly pregnant at the age of 40. Walt is at a loss as to how he is going to provide financial security for his family after his demise and in the short term how he is going to fund his medical care. He needs to get his hands on a vast sum of money - and he needs it quickly. Walt seeks out one of his former students, Jesse (Dean Norris) - a time wasting, good-for-nothing layabout and small time drug dealer. Much as it pains Walt to have anything to do with Jesse, he needs him for the one skill set he does have - cooking and selling methamphetamine. Together, the pair come up with a scheme to make the best meth on the market and to get rich very quickly. Suffice to say, things don't always go smoothly for them in their new business venture. The series is full of black humour - some of the things that happen are so awful that they are absolutely hilarious. The subject matter won't suit everyone's taste, some might even find it offensive, but I have to admit that I laughed until I cried on many occasions. Bryan Cranston plays Walt perfectly. He is completely believable in his role and it is impossible not to side with him and want him to be successful even though at the back of your mind you have that nagging reminder that he is now producing Class A drugs. The series doesn't make use of cliff-hangers or other tension inducing stunts commonly used in series such as 24, Prison Break, Oz etc - it simply doesn't need to bother with that type of ploy. Instead it relies on an imaginative plot, well written script and well rounded characters. When one episode ends all you will want to do is watch the next one; I would be surprised if anyone could stretch this series out over a long time period. The only negative is that there were just seven episodes - I wanted more as will anyone else who watches this series. Suffice to say I immediately bought series two and am currently watching those pretty much back-to-back. Overall, a brilliant drama series. If you missed it first time around on TV then grab a copy now, you won't regret it.
