It's been a loooooong time since I've been able to sink my teeth into a show and just consistently love to watch and anticipate what will happen next. The stars were aligned, the dominoes fell like they should. This was such a well constructed storyline where everything mattered. Unlike a lot of other shows throwing stuff out and see if it sticks (I'm looking at you LOST). There was a plan from the beginning to end.

Walter's character evolved so nicely. Look, we (the audience) was rooting for the bad guy. The other characters evolved too. I think that’s what was refreshing for me. Look back at other shows and show me characters who transform that dramatically. It’s a formula. Here’s your character and play that to the bone in each and every case. Breaking Bad broke the mold for me.

And the characters throughout brought real human drama to the story, unlike a comedy or fantasy shows. They acted and reacted like you would expect. With such change, there will be times not everything works for everybody. I had a few problems with some of the elements, but I ignored them, as I’m sure the writers intended to move the story along. While its fun to point them out, not so much to dwell on them.

Now to find another show like that. Walking Dead does well. But I need moooooore
