Breaking Bad - My Thoughts

I’ve never significantly devoted much attention to regular tv viewing until fairly recently. Breaking Bad remains one of the only shows which has captivated me and kept me glued to the screen. The plot seizes me at a level that no television has ever managed to do before, and I often finish an episode with a hodgepodge of confused emotions. (This is coming from someone with a fairly detached personality) I just recently finished season three, and I’m still reeling from the plot arch… from what I’ve heard, season four continues this emotional rollercoaster.

Not only is the plot of the show (trying not to reveal any spoilers…) riveting, the acting and character development are phenomenal. Each of the characters has been developed to a point to where, as the viewer, we feel very connected to each of them. Their pains become ours, joy flows from the screen into the viewer. All of this would not be possible without the incredible abilities of Bryan Cranston and Aaron Paul (the leads) amongst others! Needless to say, if you haven’t already checked out Breaking Bad, you really should! Even if you’re not a fan of television! (If you’re already a fan… this post probably comes off as a the ramblings of a fellow fanboy!)
