Review of the series from me:
What about Breaking Bad? This is the "History of Stories". This is really a very high-quality project, with a well-written plot and characters. Here nothing remained without careful attention, down to the smallest details. Everything looks surprisingly organic and complete. The series goes with its rhythm, in some places slowing down, and somewhere gaining such speed that even though it's hard to fall. But in general, this is the series that can not be broken down into seasons - it's a holistic film, with a time horizon of 2 days 4 hours and 29 minutes. All seasons look at one go.
The story does not seem to make sense, it's described in almost every second review, but the only thing I want to say is Vince Gilligan is a genius. From the usual joke, this man was able to make a truly masterpiece series, which deservedly deserved his globes. For five seasons I watched how the characters changed. From the usual constrained school teacher-loser, Walter White turned into a genius of the underworld, the best mincer of methamphetamine and a ruthless machine for killing. And Jesse Pinkman, who was shown to us initially gouged and a narcotics, was absolutely not so inside, soft, fair, but still too compassionate for this criminal world.
It was interesting to observe how the mutual relations of the main characters, which this situation related, were changing. They were completely different, but after all the tests that went through, they managed to get attached to each other. Absolutely one hundred percent sure that the emotions I experienced in all five seasons sparked a brilliant actor's game! Brian Cranston and Aaron Paul did an incredible thing, their game you believe.
Summarizing, I want to say that the series is very much even a life. We could contemplate real human feelings, right and wrong decisions that led to consequences, sometimes absurd humor, and someone even took out a lesson from this series. I just want to say one thing: I never regretted that I watched this show, and moreover, I am sure that I will review it again!
10 out of 10 from me.
