I have finally finished Breaking Bad and it was certainly worth all the hype. This was indisputably one of the best shows ever created. It's so good that there is a Spanish language remake that has also found success. All of the acting was superb--not just Emmy winners Bryan Cranston, Anna Gunn, and Aaron Paul, but everyone including the supporting cast and guest actors. All of them are strong Emmy contenders. But what makes this show so great? It's the writing. The plot is brilliant. A high school chemistry teacher is diagnosed with cancer, and turns to cooking meth to pay his medical bills and support his family. Walter White is a smart man who takes pride in his work. Throughout the five seasons, Walter hatches intricately woven plans to achieve his goals and his been a joy watching them unfold slowly, deliberately, and perfectly.
In its final season, Breaking Bad really went above and beyond. Every character (even those you might have since forgotten about) gets to wrap up his/her story line. All loose ends are tied up and each person is given a satisfying ending. Now, we have the spin-off Better Call Saul to look forward to.
