Breaking Bad [is] a radical type of television, and also a very strange kind of must-watch: a show that you dread and crave at the same time.

Slant Magazine
Breaking Bad continues at the same disciplined, regimented pace, fussing over small details and picking at new threads, even with the end looming.

Es una serie muy buena la verdad la trama te engancha y la mejor temporada es la 5 ya que todo empieza a acabar y desmoronarse para el protagonista sin duda la mejor serie que aya existido asta ahora

Literally the greatest ending of every tv show in the world. The ending is even better than the rest of the show, which was already perfect.

It has plenty to say about the things humans are capable of and, like most great series, it rewards the careful viewer.

It wants to entertain you, to draw you in with exciting, exacting plotting, and precisely drawn characters.

It's never easy to say goodbye to a drama as mind-blowingly magnificent as Breaking Bad, but savvy creator Vince Gilligan has picked the right time to put his end game into motion

It's not a matter of wondering if Breaking Bad will be great, but where in the pantheon it will ultimately reside.

After some demented inspiration from Jesse (Aaron Paul), Walt launches a caper so audacious, it's almost comical.

This is the most over-rated TV show of all time. Its more like a very long movie than a TV show. There aren't enough characters. Two main female characters, three including the baby girl. There are some good performances and its a solid 6 out of 10 overall. The shaky cam is often too shaky and the glass bottom shots were stupid. Its was very predicable in parts. Compared with a truly awesome TV show like The Sopranos, Breaking Bad doesn't even come close.

Having been a great fan of the series, I was slightly disappointed by the fifth series. First of all, I was hoping that Gus death would somehow solve Walt problems and enable him to wrap up his business. Unfortunately, Walt's delusion of being a big bad boss carries him too far and entangle him in even bigger trouble he had with Gus. Then I was really disappointed with the development of the Jesse situation. I didn't buy into this rather dumb character turned into somebody standing on higher moral ground and disgusted by the money he made cooking meth. The whole part of the plot with Jesse distributing money is plain silly, moralistic and unbelievable. Finally, the "expansion" of the business to Europe sounded like stretching the plot a bit too far, not to mention that getting rid of Mike and Jesse also eliminated some of the most interesting interactions. Unfortunately we got far too much interaction between Sky and her unbearable sister. I really regret the fact that the main female characters were all so unpleasant, without any of the dark appeal Walt (and even Mike) had. Also, the last two episodes were really "heavy" to watch, without a single moment of relief. I really regretted the fact that this series which started out as a dark comedy turned into such a humorless tale of crime and punishment. At least, they had the good sense of stop here, without dragging it any further.

I don’t know why everyone is obsessed with this show. I watch the whole thing and I did not like it at all. Yeah there were some good moments but I don’t know how the hell it has a 99*
