Thoughts
I watched Breaking Bad some time ago, so I may miss some things. However, I don’t remember being bored during any part of the show. Even the episodes that weren’t very important to the plot kept me interested. Walter White started off as an innocent-seeming character due to his original reasons for doing what he did, but he started descending further and further into the world of crime. The acting was also amazing, so some parts of the show that had more aggressive or scary characters had me on the edge of my seat. All of the characters were well thought out and the viewer has the choice to decide whether they’re “in the right” or not. I loved the show so much that I wanted more, which is why I watched El Camino and Better Call Saul. Overall I think this is one of my favorites.
