'Breaking Bad' Reunion ft. Bryan Cranston, Aaron Paul, Bob Odenkirk & More | PEOPLE
/ people
Fully shocked that Dean Norris never got an emmy for being Hank Schrader. He embodies that role so well.
Man a bit sussy ngl
The moment Dean Norris won me over as an actor was the scene where he slugs Walter in his garage. There’s a long moment where he and Walt just look at each other, and he says, “I don’t know who you are.” (It shows it in this vid). There’s this quite emotional tension in his voice and in his eyes, like he’s saying goodbye to someone he used to know. He could’ve won an Emmy for that moment alone.
Idk if what I'm about to say is true but I heard that Dean Norris isn't really acting because he has roughly the same personality as Hank in real life
@@ThatShitGood he is a bit of a sussy baka.
@@ThatShitGood he is a sussy backa
Bryan cranston was probably the best actor they could’ve cast as Walter , couldn’t imagine anyone else as the role
Bryan actually wrote the entire script for the show so yea lol
@@sarahmontgomery6657 where did you get that info from?
@@mahdinahal9574 uh. Bryan said so? He's very open about it
@@sarahmontgomery6657 no
@@sarahmontgomery6657 No, he didn’t. That is false.
The irony of Jesse not originally being planned to make it past season 1, but ultimately being one of the few characters alive at the end of the show is mindblowing
And arguably one of the best characters (my fave)
@@cryptic4446for me it’s tied between Saul, Jesse and Walt. Vince and the writers created a stellar cast
And then getting his own movie ❤
I was so glad they made El Camino, but disappointed when it was so short. Still, it served its purpose. But I always wanted to see him go into carpentry.
And tbf he turned out to be one of if not the best person. He had a big heart and a conscious unlike other characters who originally we thought were the nice guys...
Anna Gunn's Best line in the whole series "someone has to protect this family, from the man that protects this family"
It's a really fucking good line.
Skylar was so underrated man, SHES SUPPOSED to be a bit bristoly! Like who wouldn’t be in that situation 😂
@@dntknonuttin she's super easy to hate since we're set up to sympathize with Walt, but she's a great character, some people get mad at her for being upset with Walt, but he literally turned down free treatment and a better job because of pride, he was never forced to cook meth to provide, it was for his pride. Another great scene with her is the final one, where despite everything she still lets Walt see Holly despite everything.
@@freshrimp9013 I absolutely agree
@@freshrimp9013 I’m finally on the last season of BrBa, and in all honesty I’m yet to find out Why people hate Skylar. She’s not even easy to hate for me, she literally acts just like a person would in that situation
Probably obvious, but I love how Bryan sits in the centre and on one side is the cast that is Walt’s identity, and on the other is Heisenberg identity.
Thanks for pointing that out
Except Anna Gunn missing on left
I didn't notice! 🙂 well not consciously. Cute. Ahh I love this show so much.
@@Brandon68plus1 and Giancarlo missing on his right
Haha I didn't even notice that! That's so cool
Anna Gunn did not deserve the hate she got as Skylar. She played the role perfectly. I think the character of Skylar should not have been hated as much as she was. For me, she was the most realistic character in the show.
It truly is sad that some people can have so much hate for a character that they actively harass the actress. I wish the best for her.
@@rwbyab7423 I started watching BB a few years ago, made it up to season 3 and then stopped watching it for some reason. A few years passed and i started it again from the beginning two months ago and finished it yesterday. And before I started again, i had skyler as a bitch in my memories and hated her. But after watching it a second time, and finishing it, i dont understandt why I and the rest of the people in the internet hated her so much. The only thing thats wrong of her is cheating with Ted. Cheating is always wrong, no matter the reasons or situation. But everything else, walter puts on her. He puts her and her kids in danger. And shes just scared for the safety of her kids. I dont see nothing wrong with reacting how she did. Its all Walters fault
@@dieAlbaKids right yet Walt is mostly everyone’s favorite character
If you hate someone because of a character they play then that person played the character well.
Quite funny. I hated the character hard even many women did. But I could never hate her as a person. She really did awesome.😃
It´s strange to me, how Bob Odenkirk - usually seen as the talky Saul, the guy everyone wants to shut up, seems like the most quiet one of them all. When everybody laughs loud, he just smiles a little.
such a good actor
They say it's because he was a comedian that he tries to take acting so seriously as opposed to Jonathan, Rhea etc who were more comfortable.
@Nunya Bidness lmfao why?
It's because of a heart attack. He barely speaks. Poor man.
@@Vadim_Slastihin This was a few years before he had his heart attack.
The fact that BB almost didn’t get picked up and was turned down by almost everyone makes you wonder….how many “Breaking Bads” are out there that have never seen the light of day!?
probably too many☹️
Current Example is MINDHUNTER,,.... No one watched it ... it was getting very expensive for the creators so haulted at season 2.....I wonder where it could have gone ...
*Also BB is My all time fav nothing comes near it :'(
@@GalaxyDinoPlayzjojobestshowlol probably not enough!
@@BadiNaInsafiHaiRey mind hunter was mid
@@raiden6607 surprised you didn’t say “mid hunter”
I love how raw and emotional Jonathan Banks was. Such a contrast to Mike. One of the most incredible casts and yes Jonathan, this was the best show ever made. EVER.
I think Mr.Banks was the finest actor in both series combined. Good heart... But did what he had to do. Paid his penance.
As far as Vince goes... I hope someday I have the opportunity to work with him. He is the best in the business.

Great show but Sopranos will always be a step above.
The Wire The Sopranos and The Shield are better I also prefer Better Call Saul just a little bit
@@jerryvalentino1065 Sopranos is overrated and held as highly as it is by nostalgia. Saying it’s better than breaking bad is dumb af. That other guy who unironically said shield was better needs to get beat.
Vince Gilligan really struck gold with every member of the cast of breaking bad
Could have been better if we had Steve Buscemi in there somewhere in a similar role to bill burr
He didn’t strike gold, he created gold.
@@NASkeywest are you referring to alchemy
seem to have found them from x files
I think that was great that he went to actors from X Files. I didn’t know that before. I loved this show!
They've clearly all been affected by the series but it's incredible how emotionally invested Betsy Brandt is in this. It's like she still is Marie.
I totally agree... she was so genuinely about it; her character was one of my favorites. She was such a strong dynamic with her piercing investigations. She also played so believably almost like her own thoughts are their own actress, because her thoughts are written on her face naturally...
Her return in Better Call Saul was such a perfect addition to the shows finale, she nailed it; like you said she's so invested in her character even though it's been years since she last played it, I'm so glad they put her in the last episode of BCS, made sense and closure, amazing actress.
@@ktoo303 Oh wow I didn't realize she made it back for that! Will have to watch Saul too
She's such a Marie
her and Johnathan Banks
It's such a shame Krysten Ritter wasn't available to talk about Jane. I would've loved to hear her approach to playing someone going through addiction and what she thought of the character.
@@1zy True enough, but narratively she was important and she got to be a character in her own right through what we saw of her relationship with her dad and her effort to stay sober. I suppose I should be fair and extend the same courtesy to Andrea and Emily Rios who played her though. She was a wonderful and well-performed character too
@@TimCools_WithALongO the amount of times she was referenced from Jesse’s POV and the tension that her death created through the 4th wall between Jesse and Walt earns a 60 second interview at least in this video
The actor who played her father (John De Lancie) was amazing. What his character went through was just gutting.
And her reaction to how icomic her character is even though she’s only in one season
It hit so hard when Jonathan Banks looked like he was holding back his tears to the point where it even made me start tearing up a bit, and then Bryan Cranston saying “My favorite scene was killing Mike Ehrmantraut” right after made me go from emotional to laughter in a blink of an eye. I love this cast so much and forever will.
Whats the time stamp i forgot it
@@Chezbungus 1:02:17
@@Annarbormich I think Bryan didnt interject Jonathan instantly after he talked. You can see that when he is saying "And I love Mike" he's holding his cup with two hands and then when we see Bryan making his joke he's holding it in a different position. There's a cut, maybe he made the joke a few seconds after Jonathan finished, to lighten up the mood a bit, but not interrupting him disrespectfully
@@ashfar27 exactly
@@Annarbormich It's a guy thing. You lighten the mood by interjecting something emotionally totally inappropriate/funny, to pull someone out of himself when he's getting stuck in sadness. It's a mercy thing. And it ends in a laugh. Best of all worlds and felt as a relief to everyone in the room, including the person you just gave a little shake by kidding him around.
Seeing Jonathan Banks get emotional is so opposite of the character he plays but it really shows how amazing he is. he can act as a hardened hitman but deep down he is a very soulful guy!😭

To think he was one of the bad guys in "Beverly Hills Cop" (Jonathan Banks), and his career has spanned the better part of 4 decades now..
When he said he killed his boy, I literally cried. All the soul anyone could ever need, almost too unbearably much.
A once in a generation show where all the stars aligned; Perfect casting, plot, acting, writing, dialogue, directing, etc....
just like game of thrones. until its later seasons......
Yes!!!! BREAKING BAD and The SOPRANOS are the only shows where this happened in MY lifetime

Both of my late parents LOVED Breaking Bad. Unfortunately my Father passed away from cancer before the last 8 episodes were aired & my Mother passed away before "El Camino" came out. For my Father, especially not knowing what would happen to Walt, was heartbreaking for not just him, but me as well. I watched those last 8 episodes on first airing with a heavy heart. I miss both of my parents so much. 😪
May they rest in peace..and who knows, maybe they were able to see it
I lost an old friend in 2012 and that was actually one of the thoughts I had, "damn, he never got to know how Breaking Bad ends." The show was just that damn good that even among the colder, harsher realities of life, you still thought about it.
watching this show was something I also did my my father before he passed away from cancer, it makes me sad he never got to see El Camino or won't get to finish Better Call Saul. I love watching it now, makes me feel like he's with me.
I can totally relate! My mom also passed away, from cancer, before El Camino came out. She and I used to watch Breaking Bad together, and we both loved it. I don't think I can ever watch it again, because it hurts to think back on a time gone past with her now gone. But I am so sorry for your loss! It must have been hard watching the last episodes without your father. God bless you, and I hope you are wel and living a good life.
I feel you man, my mom passed away 1 month before last season of Game of Thrones, which we both loved. I also was watching with heavy heart but was thinking that she's watching it through my own eyes. Luckily we had a chance to finish Breaking Bad.
@1:02:53, that was brilliant of Brian. Jonathan Banks couldn't seem to get control of his emotions, and Brian gave him EXACTLY what he needed to steel himself and get back in the game. I know it sounded like a gentle ribbing, but it was actually a great kindness.
I mean, it was still ok for him to cry though.
@@BooperDooper-u8pBut he wanted to stop because as an actor, controlling your emotion blah blah blah(I don't want to write anymore, you got the point)
@@zenon026Well, he wasn't an actor in this video, he was just Jonathan reminiscing about his favourite show with his favourite coworkers
@@wrinkliestdog Yes, but how often do we see an actor crying in front of camera? Not saying it's a bad thing to do. I love the brba cast!
@zenon026 How often do we see people crying on camera in general? I don't think being an actor has a role in this (pun intended)
"I liked it...I was good at it". One of my ALL TIME favorite parts of any movie or show ever. I just remember getting chills

It'd be worrying if your heart didn't pound

@@prdoyle on s3 so far 10/10
Marie’s viewpoint on her character and love of Hank is a tear jerker. What a great cast with amazing chemistry on and off the set
Will never forget the scene in the elevator when we see him fall apart in her arms, then they walk off the elevator like everything is fine. She knew his feelings, but also protected his pride.
IKR and Betsy Brandt is such a sweetheart
This was one of the most difficult shows I have ever watched, because it was so real, visceral, psychologically horrifying and intensely disturbing. And yet the characters were so engaging, you couldn't look away.
then robot machine gun kill all the bad guys
@@kewltony You’re acting like it isn’t possible. It’s literally just an M60 hooked up to a simple machine. They tried it on mythbusters and it worked. It even hit everyone except Walt and Jessie. They made it with common items you could buy. (except the m60 that’s not as easy to get, but still possible.)
@@Stumme-40203 you’d be surprised in America What you can get
Check out Ozark it's very much the same quality of writing and style! It's amazing too! As is Better Call Saul!
@@Wolfsheim23 Yesss such incredible shows! Loved Ozark and really stoked to see how BCS wraps up in due course
I wrote 2 university papers on this show, seen it 4 times, and to this day it’s my favorite show of all time. Nothing tops it!
What about Better Call Saul? Would you place it in the same place as Breaking Bad? Some like to say one is better than the other but to me both shows compliments each other so well. While at the same time both shows are able to shine in their own way. I love both shows 🙏

They can do a reunion every 6 months and I'll still watch em all.
why not every week? maybe they could even act out like a little story or something while they're at it, they seem to vibe pretty well with eachother

13:35 Is that Kim?
This show came on when I was 67 & I was raised on sweet, happily ever after, safe tv shows. Well wow Breaking Bad blew my mind, kept me addicted to the storyline, & had me unable to miss one single episode. The ending was perfection with the machine gun killing the real bad guys, Jesse escaping, & Walter white saying good bye to his creation "baby blue" meth. It was the best roller coaster ride of a tv show ever. So glad I found the courage to stick with it. Thank you Gilligan & the actors for this slice of reality.
And the final song set the torn, melancholy finish so perfectly. Like soothing us all at our time of tremendous loss of a loved one, yet filling us with memories of the good times we had. It was brilliant all around. No ending is ever as beautifully crafted , as breaking bad. I read someone in Colorado? Wrote an obituary , that was published in the paper for Mr. White. Photo and all. I wish I thought of it. Imagine if everyone did.
Perfectly put
Really? You never saw The SHIELD or The Sopranos or The Wire?
Mr Robot will blow your head away
@@cursedstone7939 agreed
I used to hate Skyler.
The first few seasons, even the whole first viewing of the entire series, I disliked her for breaking Walt’s balls.
Yet, at a second watch through, I really sympathized with her and realized that she was a real victim and Walt was actually the monster! That was some great acting! She did such a good job I didn’t like her, then I ended up feeling for her.
Yes I recently re watched after years and realized Skylar is the actual victim. The fact that she’s right 90% of the time too…but is lied to, left hanging and told she’s crazy over and over is sick. Plus how everyone HATES her for smoking (which is wrong while pregnant obvi) when Walt was literally killing people 🤨
Walt is actually the worst and one of the most toxic and selfish characters ever! Somehow still want him to win (most of the time). Such a brilliant show.
To be honest, I think everyone was a victim from Walter White. They've all suffered from him in a way.
IMO the biggest victim is Jesse because of all the things he suffered.
I really was trying to tolerate walter until he poisoned brock and manipulated jesse, after that I was just thinking he HAS to die, and im not gonna lie seeing him beg walter jr to take his money kinda made me smile
Same i watched the show when I was 16-17 and sided with Walt now I rewatched it and he seems the biggest monster and manipulator ever :D
The fact that Vince Gilligan was kinda writing this all by the seat of his pants, is honestly incredible. Its mind boggling how he still managed to still pull off this masterpiece. That takes some serious skill.
He's not the only writer that's a whole team behind it in case no one told you
@@tommyvercetti891still incredibly authentic, unique and creative work overall. Especially the end. You could really see development of the characters. Just great imo
@@tommyvercetti891in case no one told you, without vince there would never be no breaking bad nor better call saul. without other writers the show would still be
@@SaudRaguard in case no one told you, the shows are what they are now because of the collective effort of the whole writers team....and not only vince. And also in case no one told you vince has decided on offing Jessy Pinkman's character in the first season itself and other writers convinced him against it so it's a collective effort
@@tommyvercetti891 the fact still stands that vince was the leading writer and the creator of the whole idea that started the breaking bad universe. writing collective could’ve been different, but breaking bad would still be
The ending scene in which Walt just falls dead on the floor with the camera zooming out, I was crying, it was like I knew the character did horrible things but I had this kinda smile as well. Kinda like "sleep now you genius bastard, I love you." A good closure, I must say. I'll never forget that.
I love when the actors love the show as much as we do
I hope they see comment sections like this and really see how many people they’ve touched ❤
If it's ok for Mike Ehrmantraut to shed a few tears then it's ok for the rest of us too! Like the cast and writers, the viewers have been emotionally invested in the Gilliganverse for over a decade and that final episode of Better Call Saul will be the end of an era for us all. Thank you for two of the greatest series in the history of television Vince!
Well said, man. I both can't wait for the last episodes of Better Call Saul to air, and am also dreading it as it's going to be so bittersweet to see the story of this universe come to an end.
@@CharmingNewSociety same I’m sad to see it end
Well said!
Dude, Vince himself literally said he has more BB lore planned to come after the conclusion of BCS. I started to feel almost annoyed hearing that but now if that's what you guys actually want?? What a joke...
@@davida7229 Last I read he was saying that he thinks after BS, despite having more ideas, he and Peter Gould feel they need to step away from the Breaking Bad universe for a while.

I think RJ Mitte deserves a lot more credit for his role, very great actor and seems like a great person overall
For sure! Plus he's so beautiful

i couldn't hold my tears when he grabbed his dad from behind to protect his mum in the last episode (sorry for my limited english)! he acted brilliant! he's a brave kid on and off screen ❤❤❤
Uhh… pancakes? 😃
Mike is so much better explored and written in Better Call Saul, he is amazing!
"Five-Oh" has got to be the best Mike Ehrmantraut episode, ever, as we learn what Mike did in Philadelphia to Fenskey and Hoffman in retaliation to what they did to Mike's son Matt and that he went through the rest of his life with that anguish all the way to the end of his life at Bosque del Apache Park at the hands of Walter White.
It's just as heartbreaking when we see a young Matt Ehrmantraut pour concrete with his dad at the beginning of another episode and that relationship with Matt set the template for how Mike gets along and works with Matt's daughter Kaylie.
@@californicatedcoloradoan3558 And the season finale of season 4 when he is ordered to kill Werner Ziegler. Amazing character exploration and emotion in that episode as well.
Cuz he’s one of the main characters as opposed to a tertiary antagonist, genius

@@davepeters3317 absolutely worth it, the 1st two seasons are pretty slow but the story telling is amazing
It still fascinates me that the writers posses so much magic. Aaron Paul was intended to only play one or two episodes to introduce Mr. White to the drug world. It's a credit that they recognized Aaron's talent and that Aaron hit it out of the park over and over again. To help the ensemble cast to be awesome.

@@tijuana210 better call saul is close to topping breaking bad for me. But el camino was disappointing to me. It was exactly what the fans had predicted and felt more like fan service than telling a new story.
@@kristinebautz1859 well that was the point of El Camino, it's where does Jesse go after this, and ofc it would go as fans expected because realistically that's how it would've gone in the BB universe and so what if it was fan service, we all figured Jesse would want out of the business after everything, and at the end he got his happy ending which the fans wanted to see. Nothing was wanted that was dramatic.
BCS is definitely better.
@@bigcnmmerb0873 not saying it wasn't well made but what was the point? If we figured that jesse got a happy ending, why did we need a movie to confirm? I personally just found it boring because it was everything I expected. Also others felt the same way, it was a "been there done that" experience.
Todd tortured Jesse (yeah he did that in BB too), Jesse had to figure a way to get the money for the vacuum guy (probably since he just escaped the neo natzis), Jesse goes to Alaska (he already brought that up in BB and everyone figured he would probably go).
So like i said it just felt pointless. It didnt add anything to the BB story. It felt like the only reason that they did it was just so they could tell the fans that walt was confirmed dead and jesse got away.
i just finish the entire series today and i never felt so many emotions before
deftones :3

Bob Odenkirk is my all-time favourite actor. I just love him so much and I wish all the best to him. What an incredible person.
I love Bob Odenkirk. I recently rewatched Wayne's World 2 and didn't know he was thw dorky guy that said "My mom gave me a dollar and dropped me off at the park and ride".
Better Call Saul
If Bob Odenkirk is your favorite actor of all time I highly recommend you read his memoir that recently came out if you haven't already called, "Comedy Comedy Comedy Drama". A fantastic book all about his life and work. If you get it on audible he even narrates it himself.
He’s so good that Saul feels real. A very troubled, hilarious & witty character
58:50 dude Vince is so humble. He gives it all to Brian (and rightly so the guy is legendary) without realising that he himself is responsible for writing one of the best fictional characters to ever exist. Wow.
Jonathan banks getting that emotional was really nice. As weird as that sounds, it’s nice to see people be vulnerable and honest about experiences that had such a great positive impact on their lives. We don’t get enough happy tears in these situations, and given the casts chemistry they all seemed like a family, it sounds about right to feel the way he does.
Myself and my wife just finished binge watching this series and El Camino today. In 2008 my son at 7 years old was diagnosed with cancer, and for years I could not watch any stories related to the subject. This series is simply a masterpiece. There is so much in this classic tragedy to unwind in regards to psychology, social problems, and family dynamics. I had to laugh when my son called me today to tell me jokes related to the series, and I am grateful for having such a great family life. Now it seems that I will have to check out "Better Call Saul", as I am still reeling from such a great performance by so many talented artists.
Glad to hear your son made a full recovery.
@@th3azscorpio thank you, it has been a rough path and I am grateful that he is here.
You are in for a treat my friend. Better Call Saul delves much more into the characters' relationships and their emotions. It's a masterpiece on par with Breaking Bad, it even surpasses it at times.
@@JesusHernandez-tm4uw yeah, I have watched all but the last season, it's fantastic. I wish that this series and spin-offs would run forever.
that's just called eatching
1:02:51 Bryan has some of the greatest comedic timing of all time lmao, how does he think of these jokes on the spot
I really want to see a spin off featuring more of Mike. I love how much of a role he played in Better Call Saul. I’d really like to see Mike’s beginnings. His character is easily my most favorite out of both series. I love how he will get his hands dirty, he won’t cast judgment, and at the same time he has this unspoken code or line that he will not cross no matter how much money or what he is offered. How Mike met his demise was totally unexpected. I didn’t expect him to get killed. I figured he would be like be like Shane, we’d see him riding off, maybe slumped over, not really knowing if he lives or dies.
I’d rather see a spinoff following Jesse and his adventures up in Alaska.
i want it to end already, there's no more loose ends left
@@gb76231 Nonsense. Jesse is still alive. He is up in Alaska, he has a little brother still down in ABQ. His little brother could end up in trouble and Jesse has to head back and risk everything to save him.

I'm watching BrBa again (might be the 7th or 8th time, I've lost track), and every episode I can't help but say 'I love this show.' Vince and the writing team are masters at what they do. Better Call Saul is an absolutely incredible feat as well. The cast, the acting, the story, the emotion... Nothing will ever be this good.
What's your discord or insta? 🤔
Best Writing and Cast !? Have you ever seen the Sopranos?!
@@andykolb6502 The Sopranos doesn’t even begin to compare. The plot in BB continually moved forward in unexpected ways. The plot in the sopranos (and I only made it towards the end of season two) seems to not exist or is at a standstill. I gave up because the show didn’t seem to be going anywhere.
@@lindsayheywood7195 You’re missing out on a lot. The Sopranos is amazing and probably my 3rd favorite show with BrBa being 1st.
@@Thouxanbanquincy what’s the second one
After all these years, this is the only show from beginning to end where it was just perfection. I've re watched the entire series several times over the years, and it still feels like the first time.
Mari was never one of my favourite characters but honestly seeing the actress at 44:40 saying the things that she said and getting heavily emotional almost brought me to tears because this is so true... what a brilliant show
@joanarc7963Marie was way more tolerable than skylar
@cryptic4446 Skylar was sooooo much worse 😂 her acting was literally so good, people sent her death threats. Like, that's insane dude. All of these actors did amazing
You know what makes this show so spectacular?! You can actually see it in this interview. They didn't playing their roles, they lived it. Every single one of them lived their characters. The fact that Betsy Brandt didn't watched Hank's death scene tells me she genuinely lived as Marie, and this is a rare thing. After all these years it's still my no 1 show of all times. God bless em all.
Apparently Aaron Paul got so into Jesse as a character that he started having dreams as Jesse
Seeing Jonathan Banks get all emotional at the end there made me tear up a little.
Potentially the greatest tv drama ever, with the most sad but completely satisfying ending. That’s really hard to do.
Don’t forget to see the Sopranos & Sons of Anarchy & MadMen
Mad men was boring asf but sons and sopranos I can applaud
In my mind, nothing will ever top Breaking Bad. It was lightning in a bottle. I rewatch it at least once a year. I’ve never been so interested in every single character in a show and been so fascinated by how in depth and thought provoking every episode is. You can find something new to appreciate every time you watch it. Vince Gilligan and everyone involved with the show are true geniuses and masters of story telling. My love for this show knows no bounds!
If you’re edgy enough to handle it, Mr. Robot can completely change the way you see things
Same here! Been a fan of the show since i gave it a chance on Netflix in 2014. It became my #1 show. I really didn't even watch tv much because there was nothing on tv that was entertaining at the time. But Breaking bad opened my mind up to TV shows. I re-watch BB every year and see something new each time. Brilliant show. Brilliant writers and cast. And I absolutely love Better call Saul too. I just finished it and man is it good!
@@prettyhtemachine Nailed it
I dunno, BCS gives it a run for its money
We're even!❤
Marie crying about the show is exactly how every fan feels every time they watch the last episode. Watched the series 4 times now and still gets me. Best show ever made
How many of us had Breaking Bad as their very first binge watch show? 😊
This was really great to see them reflect after 10 years. 👍🏼
It was probably my third with "24" being my first binge...I waited for the seasons to end before watching episodes back-to-back.
"Alias" was probably my second.
Nowadays, it's how I watch most TV.
My 4th binge show after The Shield, Sopranos, and The Wire. All great by the way.
Ok..I was late to knowing about this show, however now I'm totally addicted. It will never get boring and old. Thank you all!!
same!!
samee ! better late than never ;)
I have watched it 10 times plus and it still isn't boring
@Neil Deep YUP!
Be sure to watch Better Call Saul when you're done
I can watch breaking bad 3 times a year and will NEVER get tired of this show. 10/10 My favorite show of all time.
Came back here after Jesse and Walt’s return in Better Call Saul. Even after nearly a decade this show’s impact can still be felt across television.
THanks for the spoiler

Just finished watching Breaking Bad for the first time. I am completely blown away and absolutely adore this cast. I wish Skyler and Gustavo could have been seated at the couches too! Love them all so much
have you watched El Camino: A Breaking Bad Movie? and Better Call Saul
@@tesmere6797 Yup Better Call Saul is even better
@@tesmere6797not yet but I will do just finished BB today
@@TaminTheLaymanfor some reason, I can’t get into better call Saul. Still in the middle of the first season. It’s so slow
@@amberlyn28 Driving a mobile meth lab in your underpants with a gun, is a high standard to beat in terms of pacing. If the great wrting and acting did not catch your attention nothing I can say will.
46:02 that moment when Jack's crew drives up gave me a feeling I can't explain and that I have never experienced in any show or movie before or since. The reality of what them showing up meant was about to happen just hit me like a ton of bricks! There are so many moments in this show that hit hard but not as hard as that one. What an epic story and show!
I gave breaking bad a shot at the start of the quarantine and it quickly became my favourite show and still is my all time favourite. Started showing it to my mom a while ago and I told her its a little slow to start but give it time cause its almost like a tease, we've just met saul and I can just feel everything really pickingup and coming together and she loves it!
U should watch better call Saul if you haven’t already
@@SlimTimmi oh im waiting for the next part of S6 to come out, that mid season episode was wild
Yeah I entered that world 4 years ago. There's just I think objectively not a show ...besides now BCS of course that ever operated at that level. The plotting was as iron-clad perfect as a show could possibly hope for.
Yeah it took a while for me to pick up, back in 2011 I watched the first season and wasn't impressed at all so I stopped, thankfully I gave it another shot in 2014, around when Saul is introduced is when things start to really get going imo, I've watched the show like 6 or 7 times since.
@@carstereobandits well that's mer swell. I watched a bit of it but couldn't get into it and than I binged a ton of shows and than gave it another chance and the second try, I basically finished that series in like a week lol
Never had the opportunity to watch this till a year ago. I jave since watched it from beginning to end 4 times. Beginning the 5th! Amazing actors. Fell in love with Anna! Jesse and Hank were my heroes!!
I just finished my 4th time through also. Might wait a while to start the 5th. Absolute best show ever made. By far.
Have any of you watched better call saul? Thoughts?
@@Eserr7856 great also, but the pacing is way different than BB, i'd recommend to watch bcs at least couple of months after BB, it'll sink in better imo
I can't constantly rewatch it, it's highly despressing
You watched it 4 times in a year? Get the f out
Jesse's first line: you wanna cook crystal meth?
Jesse's last line: then do it yourself.
Stolen comment
His first line is "Mr White??"
"This guy's got range!"
"You're god damn right."
Absolutely perfect use of that clip!!! lol
My family constantly told me to watch this show. They said it was about drug dealing. I said nahhh I will pass. AMC had a marathon this weekend of it and needless to say I was addicted after the first one I watched. This was the best series I have ever seen. Amazing!
Ozarks on Netflix is as good!
@@jodylynn840 lol my brother called me today and told me I needed to watch that. So I’m gonna check it out! Thanks.
A series about drugs making you addicted. Lmao
@@jodylynn840 Ozark was very good but not on the same level as BB/BCS, and the ending kind of sucked.
Check out the Boys. The best television since BB and GoT
Albuquerque New Mexico is the unsung hero of the show. I’m a little biased being born and raised here, but finding out that it was never meant to be set here was crazy to me. It’s so integral to the charm of the show!
To see Jonathan/Mike cry...OMG tears! All of them brought it on, but his was the most moving! Love this cast. Love this/these shows!
Theatre finally translated to tv. Not a weak link in the whole production. Phenomenal acting to the point when the actors/ actresses not only understood the part but actually transformed into it.
I was one of the few people that watched every episode of this show the first time it aired. I was hooked from day one.
Damn, the suspension and anticipation must have been brutal! I first watched BrBa after it already finished, so as you can imagine it was an almost non-stop binge.
Huge Respect man. I wouldn’t have survived the anticipation of waiting that long!
Hanks death made me cry so much hell I started crying when his partner died cause i knew what was gonna happen next. Dude I’ve never cried this much for anything. Hank was the real hero and I loved his role. His final words will forever be my favorite quote in all of tv
I’m glad he died with his best friend. His partner
I’m not sure we’ll ever see another run of TV that lives up to the Breaking Bad-Better Call Saul-El Camino run. Incredible, airtight, edge of your seat writing with a cast that is perfect in every role, doesn’t overstay its welcome or try to extend run time in spite of the story not needing it, every setup pays off in a satisfactory way, perfect ending…. You just don’t get this in TV anymore
BB is the best - but the Wire is still numero Uno.
I agree, and Better Call Saul (I still need to catch up on season 6) has so far avoided all the mistakes other shows spin offs have done. I normally wouldn't say this about any other TV show but I think a Gustavo Fring spin off would be great (with some younger up and coming actor playing the young Gus in the 80s). While they're extremely unsympathetic, a spin off about the Salamanca family would also be interesting, so would a KIm Wexler spin off (Still awaiting to find out what her fate is in the final season of BCS, i hope she doesn't die)
Better Call Saul is still on dingus
@@kylmon4759 well obviously lol, the perfect ending bit was more about BB and El Camino but it looks like BCS is going to have a great ending as well
Slippin Jimmy will complete the saga as it’s crowning jewel
Rewatched it two months ago. Still the best show out there. Writing, directing, characters, actors. Everthing ist perfect.
Breaking Bad is that show that I'd want my grandchildren to watch and tell their kids about as well. Watching this series felt like a fever dream
'Better Call Saul' & 'Breaking Bad' on DVD is very worthwhile. The commentary alone is superb.
Mike tearing up is so wholesome 😢
My favorite scene is killing Mike ehrmantraut
Bryan, Bob, Aaron, Giancarlo, and so on... one of the greatest casts ever assembled.
If Betsy Brandt is interested in a show about Marie Schrader, I would like to see that, especially if it takes place after "Breaking Bad" and shows how Marie does after the show.
I don't think it should be a show about how somebody "breaks bad" like both BB and BCS have been, but to make Marie, and to a lesser extent Skyler get on with life after losing their husbands and how Marie went through a tougher time.
I would set it 10-15 years after "Breaking Bad" and "El Camino" and that Marie has been through the ringer a few times and now has to recover.
It would be a nice change to see a character "break good" in this timeline.
@@californicatedcoloradoan3558 maybe not a show, but I'm guessing a short film or a movie might be able to do that.
My husband and I were very late to the game in watching both series; however, we have now (in a very short amount of time) managed to get through all of Breaking Bad, followed by El Camino, and we’re midway through Season 3 of Better Call Saul … both genius writing and acting! Best TV series (both) ever!!!
Don’t forget the Sons of Anarchy and the Sopranos and MadMen
Facts
@@georgewilson1184 🤓
By far the best show ever. I can honestly say every minute watching it was well spent. The casting for each character was simply amazing.
Vince Gilligan is a creative genius
The greatest show of all time. Perfect writing, acting and casting. Nothing will ever compare!
Never before had I been so emotionally attached to a show.
I thought everyone overhyped this show cause it would always be on the front page of Netflix. Watched it 5 months ago and just recently finished watching Better call saul's ending what a masterpiece of a show followed up by a fantastic spinoff and conclusion to all characters of the show
As an ardent fan of both shows,this Reunion episode was so fulfilling and satisfying,highlight being when Jonathan Banks broke down from missing the rest of the cast of Breaking Bad on Better call saul.Thank u isnt enough,i doubt if there will ever be a better show than both.
He really seems so much like the character but he's such a sweetheart
From 1:01:50 to 1:03:10 was such a beautiful and emotional moment, even a veteran actor like Jonathan Banks couldn't control his emotion.
Wow the makeup and prosthetics they used to reconstruct “Gus” and his face for this reunion is simply mind blowing!!!!
Breaking Bad is still greatest show ever made. Perfect from beginning to end! Everyone thought Game of Thrones would be the most incredible show from start to finish, but GOT was such a disappointment at the end. Breaking Bad never failed to be brilliant, well written, and incredibly performed.
Now imagine Vince and Peter writing for GoT.
I don't really see how GoT could even be compared to BB while was airing, but even if the GoT's finale was good, it would have been still nothing compared to the writing of BB (and BCS) imho.
@@enorazza Imagine Frank Darabont in there as well.
only idiots wouldve thought that lol got was never nowhere near the quality of bb
@@BananaRama1312 they aren’t even comparable lmao but based on numbers, GoT had more views than breaking bad. Last I checked it was 14 million to 10 million. But again, they aren’t comparable. It’s subjective. Just the numbers.
It's a tie between BB and LOST
this interview shows how passionate they are, how show is timeless. I dropped my tears when Jonathan did
true legends
I will do anything to meet the cast for just 5 mins
Hollywood producer: (ZZZZIP)
Anything? That’s pretty desperate
@@Brandon68plus1🤓
They're just people jesus
@@Brandon68plus1 it’s purposeful exaggeration
I dont see Betsy Brandt being talked about as often but I guess she plays a support character first and foremost but I really think the heart that she shows here is incredible, just oozing with passion and love for what so many amazingly talented people have created is amazing to see
I discovered the show just before it ended. I was lucky because i got to watch it without having to wait for every episode to air. Now that Better caul Saul is ending i'll be really sad.
You are lucky! Waiting for the second half of season 5 was torture.
@@bonniehowell9206 the wait for the 2nd half of bcs s6 was already kinda long for me i cant imagine what the brba s5 wait felt like
I was truly upset when the series ended. I felt myself missing it so much. Unbelievable show and cast.
I met Giancarlo and RJ a few years back and they were the nicest people you could wish to meet.
Hank was my favourite character, he was played so beautifully. Started off as a complete meathead and then his character went thru so much pain & development.
I still remember watching this masterpiece on tv, when all episodes were 'warm and crispy'. It made me tear up back then, and it still makes me tear up. I loved to see every single minute, as I still do with the same excitement. The greatest gratitudes to the writers, directors and producers, to the cast and the crew, they all made something that will remain for a long time. If I'll have kids, I'm going to show this series to them when they grow old enough.
I was extremely late to this show.. i just finished it like a month ago. Its the best series i have ever watched. This is the only show i feel like everyone needs to watch.. Its so amazing.. Im sad its over.. i could watch this forever.
The show was addictive although it dealt with very disturbing subject matter. Some of it was hard to watch but it was a collection of great actors.
This is still the best TV shows, bar none, and its stories go beyond borders and strike a chord in anyone who has been struggling to make his meet for his family. Inside us there is always a Heisenberg inside of us when we are forced in the environment. But almost all of us do not have the guts to go through that, almost.
24:41 describing saul as a comic relief of bb,little did we knew it was just a coping mechanism of a very broken down man who litrally saw everything in his life before the events of bb.
Vince Gilligan is one of the greatest writers of all in time! I really hope he has some more projects and films coming! From making amazing characters that are so extreme but still believable…all the way to plot, build up, pay offs, and weaving all these narratives into one great story! From the first episode, Walt says, “Chemistry, is the study of CHANGE.” And that one line gets paid off for the entire series as the story and Walt’s downfall progresses.
Breaking Bad and Better Call Saul!!!! Best shows of all times
