Even Walt, who has cancer, is nearly impossible to sympathize with, and Jesse plays the most unconvincing drug addict/dealer of any show I have ever watched. The characters are horrible, unbelievable, and thoroughly unlikable, the plot makes zero sense as it meanders around in some half-assed attempt to tell a story, and you are left constantly wondering why you are even watching it to begin with as you are bored to tears. I actually watched Better Call Saul first, and fell in love with that show, the story, the characters, and the acting, so I figured I'd give Breaking Bad a try and wow, was I disappointed. The This is literally THE most over-hyped show of all time, and it definitely does NOT live up to it. This is literally THE most over-hyped show of all time, and it definitely does NOT live up to it. A truly haunting and addictive season of TV. In one episode we see the hazy beginnings of Walt's transformation, and the following seasons only improve on the quality of television on display here.

The decaying world of Walter White comes alive in this first season of Breaking Bad, now regarded by some (myself included) as the greatest television drama of all time. The writers strike also makes it tough to evaluate the end of the season - I like to think of the second episode of season 2 as the final episode of this arc, which really makes a difference. Some of the 'yeah, science!' moments were a bit annoying at first glance, but looking deeper there's actually a sort of satirical humor even there, and in any case, that aspect of the show was one of the first to disappear. The directing, cinematography, acting, and screenwriting are all fantastic, even if there aren't quite as many great moments as in seasons 2, 3, and 4.
