Bryan Cranston understands his role as Walter White so well that at times it's easy to forget that we are merely watching an actor portray a character. Additionally, season three of "Breaking Bad" is so brilliant that your jaw will literally drop several times throughout the show, most notably within the final five minutes or so of 'One Minute' and 'Full Measure.' "Breaking Bad" is phenomenal television, and this third season helps solidify that claim.

Insanely addicting and ridiculously exciting, season two of "Breaking Bad" is television done right. Vince Gilligan knows exactly what he's doing. The acting, the perfectly-developed characters, and the emotional storm that develops throughout this season, which ultimately ends in a gut-wrenching and shocking final two episodes, will appeal to just about anyone who has been watching the series from the beginning up until this point.

Vince Gilligan's groundbreaking television series begins with a bang, but there is a sense of something missing throughout this first season. At times, the show seems unsure of where it truly wants to go, and even feels forced - for instance, the exploding car at the gas station. However, any flaws present here are largely overshadowed by phenomenal acting on the part of Bryan Cranston.

This series is an excellent achievement for the television medium. Mixing some of the most terrifying events in human history, as well as providing a deft undertone of courage and heroic triumph all around, "Band of Brothers" is a visually-stunning and emotionally compelling story from start to finish. This will surely go down in the books as an all-time classic.
