I'm a massive fan of Breaking Bad, and voraciously enjoyed the series from the initial airing of its premier to its finale!
I consider Breaking Bad to be a new high water mark for intense, well acted, high-stakes, and yet also darkly humourous dramatic cable television. This is especially the case for its final slate of eight episodes. (Although the final episode itself was a bit anti-climatic, as everything that happened within it was telegraphed so far in advance!) The third-to-last (pen-penultimate?) episode, entitled Ozymandias, was honestly the only moment in which I actually had to pause my DVR and take a break because I was getting too high strung watching TV!
I've also been thoroughly enjoying the spin-off Better Call Saul as well. Â Better Call Saul also manages to achieve that perfect bland of humour and drama that Breaking Bad had, and I'm very much look forward to its future seasons.
