Breaking bad is a drama TV series that spanned 5 seasons and 62 episodes that are all streaming on Netflix. It was released in 2008 and is somehow still the best show to ever exist. Breaking Bad is about a high school chemistry teacher named Walter White who has his life turned upside down when he suddenly finds out he has terminal cancer. This terrible discovery leads him to think about how his family will do financially. As soon as Walter finds out about the cancer his wife Skylar White gives birth to their 2nd child, which increases the challenges the White family faces as their 1st child, Jr., is around 15-16 years old and has a disorder called Cerebral Palsy. With Walter not being able to make enough money as a chemistry teacher, he thinks about how he will get enough money to support his family with the time he has left.
What I love about this show is the acting and the story writing to develop Walter White because he is such a complex character. He becomes more and more manipulative but that's what makes his character more interesting because he does everything for a reason. The cast is also very great, Walter wasn't the only one who shined throughout this series. I liked the relationship between Walter and his partner, Jesse Pinkman, because they are very much a funny duo and their connection forms beautifully over time through the many highs and lows that come in the chosen line of work they are partnered in.
You guys need to check out this show because there are a lot of scenes that are just so memorable and other scenes where you will be on the edge of your seat. There's so much suspense in this show. There's twists that happen that you wouldn't even think about. The storyline is marvelous and although season 1 starts off slow it gradually gets better as the story progresses and gets addicting. The soundtrack is beautiful and the dialogue is phenomenal. There's A LOT more to talk about but I don’t want to spoil it and you should just check out the show on Netflix for yourself.
