Breaking Badder than ever!

We are currently in what AMC and HBO more than typically call a "hiatus."  The fifth and final season of Breaking Bad was in full swing, until AMC announced that they would be splitting up the final season into two parts (IE: The Sopranos).  My guess is that they want to build up the anticipation, while reeling in new viewers as well.  I am sure that their plan is going to work, especially with people such as me praising the show immensely.  

If you do not already watch this show, you need to be!  I would definitely start from the beginning, so you can see how much the characters have evolved.  And what a coincidence...  You have just enough time to catch up, just before the series' conclusion.  If you currently watch this show, then you know exactly what I am talking about, and you are nodding your head up and down at this very moment.

In quick summary Breaking Bad  is a series revolving around high school chemistry teacher, Walter White (Brian Cranston).  Walter is diagnosed with a severe form of cancer, which is very costly to treat.  White needs to make enough money to pay for this unforeseen expense, as well as providing for his family, for when he is no longer around.  Let's just say that Walter White is not your average chemistry teacher turned meth producer and distributor.  With the assistance from one of his students, White steadily makes a name for himself as a highly respected crystal meth cook. He starts to be noticed by other dealers, as well as the DEA, for which is brother-in-law works for. 

What you just read is only the tip of the iceberg.  In this fifth season, Walter White is back with a vengeance without any symptoms of cancer slowing him down.  Walter wants what he is entitled to, and he will stop at no cost.  It has been an exciting 4 years, and I am sad to see this show go.  However, maybe it is going at the right time.  Extending shows with bogus seasons just to make the audience waste their time on a bunch of nothing is wrong, and so many shows have done it (IE: Weeds).  Breaking Bad is going out at just the right time, and with guns blazing.

For those of you who are not familiar with this show, or just do not have the time to get involved, you should make the time.  Breaking Bad may go down as one of the best dramas of all-time!  It’s reputation and loyal following are evidence enough.  

As with all of my posts, I will not include any spoilers or provide you with too much of an analysis of hidden meanings that may hinder your viewing of the show.  However, I am always willing to add my interpretation if asked to do so, which I hope I am.  I am always up for psychoanalyzing a brilliant scene!
