I made a video analyzing the Breaking Bad Iceberg and explaining it. Check it out!
ruclips.net/video/dzhXmWwt7g0/видео.html
i just came here from that video lmao
I just wanna say both videos are bangers even tho you are a Snow flake Dem 🤣
Joking of course
Ok
(seven thirty seven)(down)(over)(abq)
Is it just me who gets nostalgia of earlier episodes. Like ah yes the good old days where walt has hair and jesse cant stop saying bitch.
The Golden Days
@@zeepsterd hey dude great video but you forgot to mention “Horse with no name” as a song :)
The good old days were life was really comedic, walt wasnt the gaddam devil himself, and jesse wasnt a poor traumatised man
This is how I felt watching the Walt and Jesse scene in el camino. Shocked me that those were the same Walt and Jesse as the ones from seasons 4 and 5
He does that later on too hahaha
We were so lucky that the show was created in the “flip phone era” because it made all the phone calls more visually pleasing to the eye
Yeah nowadays phone calls are just *tap* *tap* *tap* while in Breaking Bad it's that satisfying combination of *flip* , *click* and *crack*
I know what this comment is saying, but wouldn't a modern day drug dealer use a flip phone for their burner since it's cheaper anyway?
We’re so lucky this show was created in general
wen they snap all tha burners
Yea and whenever they snap a phone in half. You can’t just easily do that like you could with flip phones.
The scene when Walt jr. is learning how to drive is very important. It is showing us that he is braking bad
Criminally underrated
Haha
Not every scene is important, I liked it since it showed how the relations between Walt and his son goes i guess
@@rodzynek561I don't think u got the joke
@@thoonaliaThen, at the end of that episode, Walt smashes his car into the two dealers.
So him teaching Walt JR to drive safely becomes kind of ironic.
12:40 I love how Walter kills Jack the same way Jack killed Hank- mid-sentence.
There's something so subtly tragic about the concept of trying to express a thought and getting shot through the brain before completing that thought. A fitting exact of revenge.
Another similarity is how Walt tried to save hank by offering Jack the money and Jack tries to save himself by telling Walt the location of his money
Hank also dies with confidence and bravery. Jack dies pleading for his life
@@gamermoment0325 you could argue that jack was pretty chill in that moment. He stop to take a drag from his cigarette before talking to walk
@@samuelault4723 i mean yeah it’s all up to interpretation. I just felt that Hank was way more calm in his death than Jack. It seemed like that’s what they were going for artistically because Jack’s death was more graphic.
jack was too stupid to see that walt made up his mind 10 minutes ago
Best season: Season 5
Best section: Last 4 episodes of season 4
Best episode: Ozymandias

@@ShivamPatel-yq7rr I got the joke
Underated comment right here
Probably the most underrated aspect of breaking bad is the music choice. They completely nail the songs that fit the tones of some scenes
Especially the song at the end of felina
I love the whole sound track.
dead fingers talking is such a fucking banger and the meth making montage plays in my head every time I hear it - I feel like it was MADE for that scene
Its wild how the song writers of Crystal Blue Persuasion and My Baby Blue would've never in a million years thought the next generation of people would know their music from a show about Crystal Meth.
BTW the Windy/Wendy intro is by far the best one of the series IMO.
i especially love the songs in the cooking montages
Just wanted to add to Felina: The way that Jack tries to stop Walt from shooting him. Mentioning the money, the very thing that served as the climax to his downfall and the manifestation of his greed. And without hesitation, Walt shot him, showing that during his many months alone, he also left his greed behind
It’s why my interpretation of the ending was that Walt in his last moments died a bit more as “Walter White” than as “Heisenberg” contrary to a lot of other people’s interpretations. The last things that he did before he died was getting revenge on the people responsible for Hank’s death, saving Jesse even though the last time they saw each other he ordered the Nazis to kill him, and he showed no interest in the whereabouts of most of his money. While the last episode finally marked his acceptance that he was no longer “Walter White” but his last act of defiance moments before he died showed that he still went out more as “Walter White” than “Heisenberg.”
I still like how Jack picks up his cig from the ground for one last drag. It's the little things.
I feel like that is undercut by the fact that Walt never really valued the 80 Million that way, sure he liked having money but he knew he was dying, and the pride came from being the one who provided for his family, which at this point he already accomplished. Because even the one barrel he had was a shit ton of money, he was far from broke before he gave away the money.
And also the fact that he was about to die.
@@windowsVDnot to mention that Walt got his hair back, perhaps as a visual metaphor that he’s come full circle, and kept the beard to indicate that he’s still forever changed.
Walt already got shot in that scene and was condemned to death in the next 10 minutes, why would he want 69M dollars?
Walt didn't poison Brock with ricin, he used the ricin to kill Lydia. Walt poisoned Brock with a Lily of the Valley plant
At the first time, i taught Walt did'nt poison Brock, that it was only a Jesse's Misunderstanding
@@luizrobertoarruda4769 Walt definitely posioned Brock. It was revealed at the end of that episode when it showed the lily of the valley plant, and it was confirmed when Walt made his confession to Jesse
Omg I dont even remember this & I've watched the show many times lmao
he poisoned lydia?? ahhhh i remember now
@@DGDSJFKGHJFDGHf yes
I don’t know why but I loved Mike character, I thought he was just so cool and he died so peacefully
Spoilers man
@@maggoteater2290 man you're seeing a video of someone ranking the seasons of the show and explaining what's happening. Of course there are spoilers here.
@@jimmykoseidis6364 it was a joke...
Will i get to pet the rabbits George?
@@chaosdan3130 George kills Lenny
Actually, at first, Walt wasn't planning to save Jesse. He was under the impression that Jesse was willingly working with Jack's gang to produce meth, and was going to take him down as well. It was only after Walt saw what they had done to Jesse that he chose to tackle him to the ground and protect him from the gunfire.
that’s what he meant
No that was just the story Walt used to get to get them to bring Jesse out. Think about it. Walt wouldn’t even have a reason for entering the building if his intent was to kill Jesse. He could’ve crashed the gate and just drove around killing everyone.
Plus Walt knew Jesse would never voluntarily stay with creepy Todd and gang. Jesse hated him and wanted out of the game completely anyway
@@hlf_coder6272 this is entirely true as a viewer, all the evidence points to Jesse being a prisoner. Walt was definitely not dumb enough to think that Jesse was willing-fully cooking meth. But Vince Gilligan said that Walter didn’t know Jesse was a prisoner which I find ridiculous when u examine the evidence that was apparent to walter, skinny Pete and badger having no clue where Jesse was? Jesse saying he was done cooking forever? Jacks crew needing a meth cook? It makes perfect sense that the only conclusion is that walter knew
@@bolerpear967 also the literal fact that they stole jesse away in front of walter instead of killing him? lol?
@@finnsstuffs Lamo everyone trying to over analyze when Jack and Todd literally Kidnapped Jesse in front of Walter. Todd said he wants Jesse alive for cooks in front of Walter.

Lily of the Valley
when was that scene?
@@viviangarcia7869 season 4 finale
yeah the lily of the valley
Yeah I noticed that discrepancy too. I love that season 4 ended on that shot, confirming arguably the most terrible thing Walt has done and the big lie that will begin his downfall in season 5 part 2
It's crazy how the beginning of the 5th season completely juked us out thinking Walt was going to be the best he's ever been but instantly turned making Walt the lowest he's ever been.
fr walter and jesse were actually becoming friends and then walt starts flipping out over jesse leaving and you can even tell jesse is shocked and kinda upset too
if you thought he was going to be the best you weren't paying attention to the show at all
@@KN-hg2nvmy guy let people have their opinion
@@hasher7638Shut the up. Poopyhead
@@KN-hg2nv I think he means strongest, not best
Season 2 is actually my fav after Season 5 lmao. A lot of good Walt and Jesse dynamics while also really fleshing out Hank way more than Season 1 did.
Season 2 is so good
And introduced a lot of new characters, also had crucial impact on Walt and Jesse throughout the later seasons
Same. S5 and 2 are my personal favorites.
The foreshadowing with pink teddy bear was so good
I like that Walt ends up dying by his own hand, with a gun, the same way he attempted to off himself out of fear and panic in the pilot, but was too clumsy and inexperienced to do so.
Also the shot reminds me of the crawl space ending, expect its the complete opposite, where in crawl space he is stressed out and in complete despair, in the ending he has achieved peace, and is free of the weight he has been carrying
the only person who could kill hiesenberg was hiesenberg himself
Season 4 last 4 episodes.
Salud
Crawl space
End Times
Face off.
Too much for a season to handle.
I would argue that Confessions, Rabid Dog, To’hajilee, Ozymandias, Granite State, and Felina are even more crazy of episodes to have
@@kdizzle901 ye those last 4 of s5 I always watch in the same day
@@bobsandwich3431 from To’hajilee to Felina u can’t watch just one
Salud is my fav of season four, as by then I has gotten off t Walt train and was pulling for team Jesse/Gus/Mike.
wow just realized it's called face off because gus's face literally comes off
Season 1 is definitely my personal favorite. It felt very grounded in reality. Not to say that the other seasons aren’t but Walt’s problems in the first season were more relatable to me since I also struggled with self esteem and purpose. Feeling like I have no true say in my life and trying to do my best to take it by the horns, but getting thrown off time and again.
Season 1 also stands out with Walt resorting more to creative chemistry rather than guns and raw violence to fix problems.
And it's so heart breaking to see a once gentle and well-intentioned man who was unappreciated by the world around him turn into a bitter, prideful, and manipulative monster of a human being

(I am ready to be insulted, I don’t care)
this is the best list
Is that from worst to best, cause season 1 was boring af.
I don’t understand how some people didn’t like the fly episode. It was such a great character study on Walt and Jesse and their relationship
It was just a chore to watch
@@neame-bh3uq Boo hoo
It was hard to understand when watched first + it had no proper contribution in the plot so that's why people don't like it ig
Cause it was boring lol
People just want action and explosions and are too impatient to wait. They require instant gratification. So when an episode brilliantly dives into character development, they lose focus. Same reason why people dont watch Better Call Saul, even tho it is just as good as Breaking Bad
I remember binge watching the show on Netflix and the ending where Todd shoots the kid transitioning straight into the next episode where they’re dismantling the kid’s motorcycle gave me chills as I hadn’t fully processed what just happened. One of the best things about getting the episodes all at once
Io

@@asapxmanifest5326 ?
@@NoseyBonk5599 his name
i find that tuco made a fantastic preamble for gus. tuco was unstable, irrational and violently inconsistent. it made us relieved to see gus’ patience and consistency. tuco’s addition also made the audience annoyed when walt messes with gus, as compared to what jesse and walt had with tuco, gus is heaven to the duo, and we dont want them to go back to someone like tuco. safe, consistent money. truly emphasises one of mikes final lines “we had a good thing, and you had to screw it up with your pride”
If anything, knowing that "Fly" was made because of budget restrictions makes it even more impressive. It was genuinely a great episode and didn't feel like filler at all.
nah it definitely did lol. it just felt off
I genuinely do not remember anything they talked about in the episode 💀
@@Tiggster-qr8mw Walt talked about how he had the perfect moment to die and that his family would have gotten all the money. No one would have known how he got the money so he would have been seen as a hero by his family and even if they found out, he was already dead and couldn't have been punished for his crimes.
Best episode
6:06 6:06 6:06
Honestly, no show has ever had me so invested in the characters. Even though Walt is an absolutely selfish and arrogant character, I was still rooting for him. It’s odd. I was rooting for Gus too. And Mike... and Jesse. Part of me wishes that Those four people just became partners and conquered the criminal world with their meth empire.
Obviously that couldn’t happen, or the show wouldn’t have had anywhere to go, but still.
It sucks how it could have ended up like that. But no, Walt had to go with his huge ego and mess everything up.
It's because, despite everything they do, deep down inside they're still human. I cried when Walt died even though I've been wishing for that moment, but atleast he was finally at peace. He tried to make things right but couldn't. He didn't win, but his enemies didn't either.

I think Gale’s death is the least sad , while Andrea’s was the saddest and Jane’s being in the middle
Mike and hank bro
I felt like season 5 was sprinkled on as a kind of 'grand finale' or an epilogue, since the story mostly ended with season 4. I always though of it that way and it's amazing in it's own right. What an amazing show.
@BB49 gotta be a joke right?
@BB49 yea but it’s your least favorite season? I find that wild, but I respect it
@BB49 what about season 1 or 2?
@BB49 yea 2 is my least favorite, but do you think that season 5 is worse than 2?
@BB49 While I respect that you hate the ending of BB and BCS, but the director directed a really nice timelapse of Breaking Bad characters, they fit so much that BCS is literally past and now in BB. We know there's no future since most characters are gone. But director put really long planning for that.
Well maybe can you explain the alternative ending? I wonder what you can think of ending such good show.
I admit I did not like ending too, but everything has its own ending man.
Letting Jane die is the moment Walt crosses to the other side
Fax tbf
He probably saved Jesse by doing that tho.
Dude, what the hell? Walt literally didn't even need Jesse at that point. He could have killed them both and gone home with 1 million dollars, especially since Jesse had completely turn his back on him, almost messing up the sale by being high and making Walt lose the birth of his daughter. People treat Walter like the villain but the truth is he is just good at what he does, unlike Jesse which is a lucky junky with 0 loyalty, and mike with the "i'm gonna pay those stupid guys in prison". Honestly, before jane's death Walter was a complete idiot, the show only gets better after that because Walt commits way less mistakes. Although he almost killed himself by protecting Jesse on season 3 and 4.
@@pedro.gandra But Walter is the villain, he lost everything because of his ego. He became kingpin of his drug empire not to provide for his family but because of his pride.
Nah, when he shot the two dealers was when he crossed over
Whenever i think of the show, i always immediately think of season 4
Exactly, me too! Season 4 is just a perfection.. I also love the ending episodes of season 5, but because S05 had some weaker moments, I'd rate season 4 higher.
season 2* is my favorite
Yeah, on my rewatch Season 4 is definitely the best and most iconic BB was. Walt's paranoia, Gus' operation in the fritz, Mike, the cartel, Hector... it was just a ride from beginning to end
When season 4 ended I was blown away by how well written it was, I wish I could watch it again for the first time
Season 4 is the greatest season of any show ever. Its just perfection and peak television.
Seasons 2 and 4 were amazing, but season 5 is in and of itself it's own story, whilst simultaneously being a conclusion to the previous 4 seasons.
Vince to every other network: “My partners here tell me you produce a show that’s 70% pure, if you’re lucky. What I produce, is 99.1% pure.”

@@eliweldon9939 i kinda like it
@Mr Mojave at least these episodes have some contribution to the plot, even if minimal
The fly episode have literally no purpose at all
Season 2 feels more episodic, IDK I kinda liked that aspect
Right?? Season 2 just feels warmer and a bit more cozy. It's that sweet spot in Walt's character where he's still a family man, yet hardening into a criminal. Jesse still preserves a lot of his innocence and charm, but is still presented with many events that will mold him. And of course, Jane. Season 2 has got to be one of my favorites
@Amin Beydoun 2.0 why
I know right? For some reason, I feel like season 2 is very cozy, it really feels like being a kid again when I'm watching itå
@Amin Beydoun 2.0 season 2 was my least favorite but yeah its the most episodic it started hit with tuco but after that things were really chill which was kind of boring compared to the other seasons but it added another type of fun idk thats just my opinion
Season 3 was the weakest imo
Season 1 was a great start to the show
Season 2 was crazy with the life events that occurred
Season 4 was a treat to television with the story increasing with gus’s business etc.
Season 5... do i rly gotta explain
I remember discovering Breaking Bad in the 8th grade way back in 2013, binging the whole thing in time to finish the last season as it aired. The pure love I have for this series is immeasurable. I truly haven’t been as attached to a cast of characters before or since.
It was actually the only episode that brought me to tears
It took me a month, but just less than an hour agi, I finished the series.This show was amazing, and I can, for sure, say, that no other show will make me that interested in a story like this one.Truly a masterpiece, a total rollercoaster at the last few episodes.10/10

Wolf of Wall Street reference for breaking bad? How much better can it get?
i’ve seen the show a total of 8 times and i’m about to start fresh for the 9th time
I think what makes this show so great is how it just gets better and better (for real this time), and that is so rare for shows these days.
My ranking from worst to best is literally : 1,2,3,4 and 5
My favorite season is getting to the end of Season 5 and then starting all over when everyone was young and happy...except Walt. ;)
Yo, love your content Mike! 🤘
This reminded me of one of my favorite scenes in the entire show which is when Heisenberg is walking thru his old house when he stops where the living room used to be and you hear hank talking and it flashes back to his birthday 2 years ago you see Walt smiling and then it goes back to present and Heisenberg looks sad and empty/dead inside, representing that he had everything he needed before cooking meth (obviously not the money but he could’ve took Elliot’s money for treatment and kept his family). But becoming a meth cook took his family away even though “everything I do, I do for this family”
I like season 2 a lot, particularly because of Jane and Jesse’s relationship, that season kinda hooked me on the show
also the season I started hating Walter
I absolutely hated Jane idk why she’s just weird
i cry just thinking about the scene where jesse is calling janes number over and over again to hear her voice for her number to be cancelled
Idk i kinda hated her ruining Walters plan.
same
Up until halfway through 5 I was like this show is amazing. Second half of 5 went from amazing to untouchable with the best series finale I've ever witnessed. I don't think I'll ever see anything as good as those last episodes again.
I agree. I envy anyone who had the ability to first watch this show through Netflix or DVDS. Having to wait almost a year and a half for rest of season 5 was absolute torture!
Watch The Shield (2002-2008), the finale is arguably the best finale of all time (alongside Breaking Bad), the first few seasons aren't nearly as good as the later ones though.
This is one of them rare shows where EVERY season is as good as each other. Pure masterpiece of a show.
99.1 percent pure
What I appreciate the most about this video is the addition of a memorable song from each season being played at the start of each season review. So bueno.
Best scene: Lily of the Valley reveal
that was legendary!
It definitely was. But I was stunned by Hank's emotional rage against Walt in his garage - acting and contentwise
I swear to god that scene was and still is the most chilling experience i have ever felt in my life. I was so surprised and stunned by it that l rewatched the episode like 4 times

I know your not gonna read this, but this is one of the best videos I've ever see on RUclips. Its perfect. I've got so many goosebumps right now.
BB is so great because it unfolds like a great tragedy, more like a classic novel. Each chapter makes the noose a little tighter, raises the stakes a little higher. It builds towards something undeniable. Most TV series aren’t written like this, they have a good season and say ‘let’s do it again’, rinse-and-repeat, with patchy results until they’re cancelled. To compare BB series is like reading a book and saying I don’t like chapter 5 as much as chapter 8; it’s all part of the same story, how can you differentiate? Similarly what might make chapter 8 great is all the groundwork laid in chapter 5 which bears fruit in the later chapter. You have to value each in the context of the whole. What I love most about the show is the continuity; how the characters sink ever deeper into their own personal hell, episode by episode, series by series.

In the season 5 part of this episode he poisoned Brock with lily of the valley berries
The ricin was for lydia
better call saul is smth likes this season 5>season 3>season 1>season 4>season 2
if Breaking Bad ended on season 4,then Breaking Bad wouldn't be so huge,i really like the idea that they didn't end this after just winning the main antagonist(Gustavo) and continued this plotline with Heisenberg and season 5 which delivered us clear ending to Mike's storyline,Jesse's dramatic ending,Walter get what he deserved,Hank discovered who Walt really is. .
@Kuala06 agreed
Season 1: Introductions and beginning antics
Season 2: More Characters added, a few dark twists here & there
Season 3: Getting darker and more dangerous
Season 4: Rapidly building tension, More character development
Season 5A: Apex of story building, final characters introduced, more building action and tension
Season 5B: Final climax, followed by Gloom and Doom
Those “boring” episodes in early season 2 are not fluff, they are crucial for the characters’ journeys. The rift between Walt and Skyler slowly widening as his lies get out of hand, and his failed attempts to reconnect without taking any accountability were early signs of his moral deterioration. Jesse hitting rock bottom after being evicted by his parents, and Hank’s PTSD following his encounter with Tuco made them both more sympathetic to me. But I’ll admit they did drag out the whole tiara shoplifting plot line for a bit long.
my personal favorite season is 4. man those last few episodes. fucking phenomenal. from crawl space to face off, just an awesome few couple of hours. especially the ending of face off, sooo so bittersweet.
Exactly those are mine favorite too
@@ashiumtanwirahmed011 gus's face went clean off
Yup season 4 was my favorite as well
5b was such a poetic ending!
Hanks Death was crushing.
Season 4 and 5 really gave Dean Norris that time to develop his character. Going from this charismatic guy, who’s posing at the scene of a crime to “I’m not the man I thought I was”.
The scene where Walt terrifies his family, and sees Walt Jr protecting Skylar. Bryan Cranston and Aaron Paul’s acting are incredible.
Ye
The thing I love most about Bryan Cranston’s acting is that each season he adds levels to his character and the more the story progresses the more intense he acts, fully adapting to the situations he’s in
just finished BB today , have been watching it since 3 months , ya im a slow watcher. and i absolutely loved it , unlike others i wasnt on full support of WW especially from the ending of S4 but when i saw what walt had become in the end living by himself in new hampshire , i felt that , he hasnt done much wrong and then in felina when he says to skyler that he was doing it all for himself and that he felt alive , i was melted , and from then i didnt care what was good/bad. its truly beautiful how just some lines change up ur total perspective and ofcourse all kuddos to bryan cranston and VG for this
I think season 2 was really important for character development, and actually the tiara thing is supposed to be a reflection of walt’s deceit to skyler but i do understand how it’s boring
I love season 2. It’s very cozy and character driven. I also like that things aren’t too tense throughout, there’s a lot of scenes of them dealing with real and more personal problems, it also shows more of the street-level drug business, a lot of important characters are introduced, the main characters are developed and we get to know them better and care for them. It has very entertaining and interesting episodes etc. I really like when things are more calmed and the there’s not a MAIN conflict the whole season. It makes it more realistic and easier to get to know the characters. I feel like that’s exactly what a season 2 is supposed to be.
My favorite is season 5 without a doubt, watching Walter get his comeupppance is so satisfying. Also that train heist, holy shit it's so exciting and tense.
Season 2 and Season 4 are tied for my favorite seasons of Breaking Bad, I felt Season 2 did an incredible job of exploring the theme of actions having consequences with Jane's storyline which is one of my favorites of the whole show. The fact that Walt's decision to let Jane die ultimately lead to the deaths of all those people in the plane crashes really shows how Walt's actions will have ripples far outside those close to him. Season 2 also has one of my favorite scenes in the whole show at the end of Episode 10 where Walt meets the two other drug makers, at first offering advice before realizing they'll be competition if they set up and tells them to stay out of his territory. That scene in my opinion is when Walt truly becomes Heisenberg and realizes he enjoys it
Probably the only show I'd rank as follows worst to best: 1,2,3,4,5
It's insane that it just kept getting better and better and better and better.
The Fly is not only good, it might even be the best. The way it slows down the series for a moment and we get to explore the characters of Walter and Jesse quite peacefully for one American hour is just amazing and refreshing. The first time I watched it, I didn't mind it but it wasn't a favorite of mine. On repeat rewatches it has risen up the ranks and it might just be my personal favorite. Only rivaled by 4 Days Out, Face Off and Ozymandias.
On another note, it shows Walt's obsession within the meth industry, with an entire episode dedicated to Walter trying to kill one fly in his lab.
An American hour? As opposed to an englisg hour?
@@kobimitchell7807 lol
"american hour"
You gringos live in Your own world right?😂
@@user-eo7jf3lb9f It's a joke you know? +-40min. and the commercials
My categorisation of the seasons goes like this:
Season 1 - black comedy, they just started the show and didn't really knew what they wanted the series to be, we can see also a few elements of action and thriller.
Season 2 - a full time drama, where they really tried to make it about the characters, plus it was the only season that there was focus on the subject of drug addicts and the consequences of these addictions, a subject they didn't really talked about since, but it would be impossible to make a show about drug manufacture without dealing with this subject in some way.
Season 3 - not a lot to say about it, I feel like it was the leadup to season 4 in a lot of ways and kind of served as a continuation of the characters' arcs in season 2 and set the foundation for the main plot of season 4.
Season 4 - a full time thriller, some elements of action and drama but mainly thriller, it had a really large focus on the main plot and not a lot of side stories.
Season 5 first half - the most focus on action they had until that point, with a little bit of thriller and elements of crime drama, and I think that it was supposed to be the appearant end of the story, because every story point was tied up until Hank found the book.
Season 5 second half - a totally different style than the first half of the season, it had a major focus on crime drama, sort of like The Sopranos, and a few elements of action
What would you day the darkest seasons is
@@zfurr8629 I guess season 2 because that hole drug addiction theme but also maybe season 5 because it has the Walt's family fell apart
@@zfurr8629 They all had dark scenes and episodes tbh. I couldn’t really tell you.
@@zfurr8629 Personally id say season 5B. It was just full depression from there on out, especially Ozymandias, Granite State and Felina. Really bleak season
Just finished rewatching the series for the first time since 2013 when season 5 wrapped up. In my older age now (and much bigger tv) it definitely hit different this time around. The fact that even now this series is still being talked about to death online is how you know it’s really something special
In my opinion, season 5 was the best. Season 4 was great because it basically ended the massive build up season 2 and 3 gave us. But, with season 5, I felt like I was watching a whole different show(in a good way). The season starts off pretty slow but as soon as hank finds out, it just goes nuts from there.
My fav episode was the one where Tuco kidnapped Walt and Jesse. I've never felt so tense in my life.
GALE WAS SO PRECIOUS HE DESERVED SO MUCH BETTER I CRIEDDD
He was a loser, shoulda found a wife had a family worked hard...instead he died alone and pathetic. But harshness-though true-aside yes he was a nice guy.
@@danielhicks4826 he just wanted to cook meth and sing karaoke
Gale reminded me of those little cute things Chewbacca couldn’t eat.
@@josiesumbrero4067 which was why he didn't deserve better.
Gale was such a precious soul and his death RUINED me I cried for so long! You could see how tormented Jesse was in the moments before and then afterwards too.
I love other seasons but i personally love season 2 more because it introduced so many characters and expanded among the breaking bad universe and there were so many interesting things like Jesse and jane relationship or walt meeting up with gus for the first time which sets up the stakes and thrills that we will see in the future seasons.
dude no it took me a month to fully watch breaking bad and now you're making me want to rewatch it
In my opinion:
5. Season 1 - 8.70/10
4. Season 2 - 9.05/10
3. Season 3 - 9.40/10
2. Season 4 - 9.90/10
1. Season 5A - 9.75/10
0. Season 5B - 10.0/10
My reasoning:
Season 1 - Solid introduction to the show and its characters, some of which are interesting while others are meh. It gives the viewer somewhat of an idea as to where the show is headed, but overall nothing truly special, just good.
Season 2 - This is where it starts to get a bit more interesting. The conflict between Walt and his family intensifies a bit as Skyler comes closer to finding out about Walt’s secrets. Everything involving Jesse and Jane was also great, ending with an amazing plot twist that develops both Walt and Jesse. The world also expands as we get introduced to characters and elements that would later play a pivotal role in the story, such as Gus, Saul, Mike and the Cartel. Previously introduced characters, such as Hank and Jesse, start to truly develop, which was very welcome. My main criticism would be that it may sometimes feel a bit slow when compared to the other seasons.
Season 3 - The plot starts to thicken. All of the elements that were introduced in both seasons 1 and 2 start to cross paths, with probably the best example being Hank tirelessly pursuing Jesse. Skyler starts to get more focus, which makes her relationship with Walt fall apart, only for them to become a couple once again, but this time around as crime buddies. The cousins were also a great addition, offering us the first major antagonistic force of the show (maybe even more menacing than Tuco), although I did wish the creators explored them just a tad bit more. Speaking about the cousins, their shootout with Hank is probably the most important moment for his character, as we start to see how a man with a tough guy persona like him can still be somewhat fragile. Walt’s confrontation with Gus also begins here, with the last two episodes of the season giving us a glimpse into what said confrontation will be like in the next season, as well as showing how Walt can be truly manipulative of Jesse.
Season 4 - If someone were to tell me this is the best Breaking Bad season, I would 100% understand. What I find most fascinating about this season is that while still developing the characters and giving the even more depth than before, it also manages to make us totally invested in Walt’s rivalry with Gus. Everything involving these two, ranging from Gus’s distaste for Hector and the Cartel to Walt’s elaborate plan to kill him and complete his transformation into Heinsenberg is just top notch, really. As I said before, however, there’s more to this season than that. Both Skyler and Jesse take a really dark turn and you start to understand that both of these characters are deeply emotionally scarred, obviously due do the fact that they have to constantly interact with Walt. There’s also Hank coming closer and closer to Heinsenberg’s true identity, which further escalated the conflict in the season. To be honest, this feels like a flawless season. The tone starts to change, and you feel like everything gets darker and darker as the season progresses. The only reason I put it below Season 5 is because, in my opinion, Season 5 is actual peak fiction. Regardless, Season 4 is an amazing, giant chess game that manages to get the viewers at the edges of their seats.
Season 5A- As I stated before, peak fiction. I will admit: Season 4 felt like a perfect ending to me at first. However, now that I think about it, the show couldn’t have ended without this absolute masterpiece of a season that is Season 5. There were still many things to be resolved, such as the Lily of The Valley plot point, the rise of Walt’s empire, and whether or not Hank would finally catch the great Heinsenberg. And believe me when I say: this season delivers in pretty much any way. The first half, while being somewhat slow, is actually very important to the story. I say that because the actual plot of the show doesn’t really progress that much throughout this first section, which many people would consider a bummer at first hand. However, the purpose of of the 1st half is to actually consolidate Walt as a true kingpin of the methamphetamine business, which is evidenced by the fact he expands his business overseas and that him and his crew are forced to come up with inventive solutions to get more resources or just getting rid of problems in general. That’s not to say that the first half doesn’t focus on the characters themselves, though. Todd’s killing of an innocent child after the train heist offers some great drama and sparkles the conflict between him and Jesse, who at this point we know has a great care for kids. It’s also really satisfactory seeing Walt finally achieve the same status as Gus and the other characters’s reaction to that, with the most notable example being Lydia, who fears Walt with all her might. This half ending with a cliffhanger was also a really smart move by the producers.
Season 5B - We finally got to him: the big boy. You better believe my words when I say this is some of THE best fictional works out there. Seasons 1, 2, 3, 4 and 5A were all amazing in their own rights, but this last bit of Breaking Bad’s phenomenal story is what makes this show one of the classics. If all of what came previously was just an intense build up (which don’t get me wrong, it was much more than that), this was an emotional, heart-breaking payoff. Walter, the Cancer, Jesse, the Meth, Hank, Skyler, Marie, Walter. Jr, Gretchen, Elliot, Tuco, Hector, Jane, Saul, Gus, Mike, the Cousins, the Cartel, Gale, the Neo Nazis, Lydia and many more other elements were all pieces of this story that, in a way or another, contributed to these 8 spectacular final episodes. Skyler has now depression, Jesse experiences loss yet again, Hank finally learns to express humility, Walter Jr. has to deal with the fact his father is a wanted drug lord, Marie’s beloved husband is now no longer with her... and of course, Walter manages to fulfill his dream and feel alive at the cost of hundreds, if not thousands of innocent lives. This dark ending is what we knew was coming, and yet couldn’t predict. A coming of age story, to say the least.
Well said friend
Ok I get what you're talking about 2:28 but as someone who is walt jr's age trying to learn how to drive with cp that was a very relatable moment for me.
When you don't have very good muscle control or one of your legs is more dominant you either have to use both or hope you're reaction time is good enough to switch over.
Seeing him drive later was a big confidence boost, you barely see people with cp on tv and in that moment it felt like the show got the struggle.
I'm happy to hear that. More power to you! You have my respect. Thank you for the comment. :)
Nice review. Thanks for sharing!
Technically not only in Breaking Bad will a main character find out something so important on the toilet. Tywin found out he's about to die on the throne. I'd call that important information.
for me, its in sequential order. literally every season gets better than the last, and it is an amazing thrill ride
Ya the pace and the stakes raise exponentially
Your list is almost exactly like mine. I would’ve put all of season 5 before season 4, but looking at S5 as a 2 part season, I would follow you in this list.
Rewatching Breaking Bad made me realize how different season 1 jesse is to season 5/El Camino jesse. I realized just how much he went through.
My only criticism of this show is I wish we could’ve seen more of Walters life as kingpin. They timelapsed through the eight months where he just cooked and made 80 million, I wish we had even just one episode to really get a glimpse of the work he was doing and the money he was making. It made it less believable to me that he would have a nationwide famous Rico case and a manhunt for him, like throughout the series he was always an underling and all of the sudden were supposed to believe he’s top dog? I wanted to see his life as kingpin
like Tony Montana
I don’t think anyone has watched breaking bad JUST ONCE. I’ve seen it at least 6 times (on my 7th rn)
I've only seen it once
I only finished it for the first time about three weeks ago, so have only seen it once,yet!
Ive seen it once
I finished it for the first time yesterday
How isnt that boring? I like it, but no way in watching it the second time
Such an incredible and complete ending to a story. When I first watched the last episode or two, it reminded me strangely of the 10th doctors (David Tennets) death, where, like Walt he’s a dead man walking, going around looking back on his life and decision he made, tying up loose ends of his story. Comparing breaking bad to the way Game of Thrones was ended, we’re blessed with how good it actually was
For the longest time I always wondered why Walt only used the exploding shard thing once. He could’ve used it literally any time he was in danger
I guess you forgot, he is the danger
Favorite scene is Gus' revenge in Salud --- killing the Cartel. Epic.
When he said he was in 8th grade when he watched this now it makes sense on why he didn't understand season 2.
But he said he rewatched it 4 times
Stellar video man
I love how they made Marie a thief. It just goes to show how messed up hank and Marie are as humans too. They are willing to shield they “secrets” and work around it and that’s fine but when Skylar and Walt do their “dirt” it’s wrong. Marie is a thief and doesn’t gain anything other than her self which is selfish. Hank in the other hand did it for his family. Marie almost got sky locked up with the tiara which she stole and that’s fine but it’s wrong that hank got shot due to someone else when Walt had nothing to do with it. (The first shooting)
I mean it’s just clearly Season 4. The ending was perfectly conclusive if you forget Mike. Everything about Gus’ backstory that mattered was demonstrated in one flashback. Walt played his last true manipulation of Jessie by crossing a final moral event horizon, making him ready to beat a man considerably more intelligent than him. The transformation was complete.
12:24 i cried at this scene 😥
sad scene, it shows a loving father who wants nothing but the best for his family. the only reason he even started to sell was for his family. and at the end he admitted his course changed when he started to love the business and transform into heisenberg
@@savoony7370 I think he was using family as an justification at the very start, he just didn't know it yet. Like he said, he did it for himself - he felt alive doing it. No loving family man would put his family in danger.
How curious, 'cause in my opinion, the second season would be a runner up for the best one! Nice vid!
I love the end of that episode where Walter White walks out to the parking lot, to tell those guys to stay out of his territory. They are playing a song that talks about methlamene, and professor this, and that, and how high it gets you! That part is " PRO", and really pumps me up! I think that I'm going to watch Breaking Bad, after watching all this stuff tonight. Thanks for the great videos.
When I was in high school I convinced my friends that I worked at los pollos hermanos because they did not watch breaking bad
My favorite Chrono Trigger character is probably Lucca tbh
we live in a society
Someone isn't looking too hard lol
Frog Glen better call Saul ? Stranger things? Sex Education? Chernobyl (miniseries)?
@@User-ge7ni Wow. You named 4 measly shows. And they aren't even as good as BB......
@@frogglen6350 BCS isn't measley, you won't enjoy anything if you're so stuck up and pretentious
Great video 😊👍 love breaking bad for sure.
I just recently got my dad to watch it too and now he is also a fan of the show lol
I probably would've put season 1 lower down in my list after my first watch but it became my favorite after the second. Got a new found appreciation after knowing how the rest of the series plays out
4 was my favorite, 2 my least. Most people I know prefer s1 to s2. Good video.
I'll be honest we are the complete opposite. Season 2 is one of my favourites and season 4 is my least favourite
5>4>3>2>1
Season 2 had amazing episodes like the tuco one and the one they go to cook for 4 days. Some of the best of the show
if there’s one thing we know about sammygirl, it’s that she prefers season 1 to season 2!!
@@thanospv6681 exactly cuz it gets better every season
My list:
1.- Season 5 10/10
2.- Season 2 9.8/10
3.- Season 4 9.8/10.
4.- Season 3 and 1 9.6/10
99.1% percent pure
9.8% pure? that's not very pure lmao
Mate you need to learn what decimals are lmao
so season 2 and 3 are higher rated than 4 but are 9,8% pure?
I agree 100% with this list (though it's kind of a toss up between seasons 1 and 2). Seasons 4 and 5b are literally the best episodes of a TV show to ever exist. I had insane goosebumps after Walt finally kills Gus and the song starts playing while he talks to Skylar - "I won.". Absolutely incredible.
I've watched the show 5 times and am gearing up for #6 before rewatching BCS (got through 3/4 of the show but need to start over since I forget what happened while waiting for the last season),
Great Video!
The Granite State ending was so well built, the main theme, Heisenberg waking up again, it was just awesome and chilling...GREATEST show for me..!
They said that they thought about putting the theme in the scene where Gus walks out of the room in Face Off but it didn't fit. Granite States ending is probably my favorite ending to an episode in all of TV
I loved Season 2, might have been my favorite one. There's tons of epic stuff later but I loved some of the characters and individual stories in Season 2. Jane's also my favorite character in the show so that probably makes an impact.
I loved it too it’s definitely the building blocks of the show but it introduces so many good characters
same here
Season 2 is so underrated imo, some great characters are introduced (Saul Goodman, Mike, Gustavo Fring...), the abduction of Jesse and Walt by Tuco kept me on the edge of my seat and I think the buildup of the plane crash with the pink teddy bear scenes scattered thorought the season are genius.
Jane was annoying tho
You are objectively wrong
I love season 1. Everyone for some reason seem to hate season 1 only because its not constantly walter white being paranoid af like he does later in the show.
Yeah me too. Idk maybe I'm a sucker for the origin stories but the camper cooking times were so simple yet so great.
@@trident5523I am too
When you talk about Breaking Bad as an unparalleled masterpiece that has so affected your life, I am right there with ya man. In terms of art, it is at the top of my list. I'd be amazed if anything could take its place.
The bitter-sweetness of the ending and what comes after is also a favorite of mine - simply how Walt did succeed, in a way. Assuming he scared Gretchen and Elliot enough (which I believe he did,) his family will receive $9+ million dollars - more than enough to take care of all 3 of them, plus even Marie, for the rest of their lives. Except they'll never know it was actually Walt that did it. That's kind of the ultimate price he paid - his ego dies with him.
