Season Review no. 2: Season 2
★★★★★5 word summary:
Breaking Bad is the drug.
5 sentence review:
This is when Breaking Bad started getting really good for me, it has surpassed simply tom-foolery around two amateurs making meth and has now incorporated more interesting themes.
The most interesting relationship (between Walter and Jesse) is broken down in this season which is disappointing, although I love Jesse and Jane together (Jesse definitely has a lot of character progression from just a boy who says 'yo' a lot).
Walt's movement towards a darker character is fascinating because it is so well written and acted, at no point do you think 'this is unrealistic', instead you are just swept away with it.
Despite the show taking a darker turn there are still moments of comedy and happiness which allow for the audience to relax for a few moments (before tensions runs high again!)
An IMDb rating of 9.6 still seems awfully high, because it means a vast number of people actually agreeing with each other, however it is beginning to warrant its rating (hopefully the next 3 seasons also keep improving).
5 good things:
1. Jesse and Jane
2. Introduction of Saul
3. Introduction of Gus
4. Ooooooh the death at the end!!
5. Character progression
5 bad things:
1. Less of Walter and Jesse
2. Less meth cooking times
3. The season long suspense built up to...a plane crash?
4. Ooooooh the death at the end!!!
5. Walt's evil progression.
