Breaking Bad- Show Reviews |

The concept was good but the delivery inane. Badly acted, jerky and couldn't even find a decent start point. They had to use the 'best' action piece and then back track to show the build-up. Pathetic I will not be keeping this or watching future eps. Please follow the guidelines when posting a review. Thankyou Quark - Moderator |

I *really* liked this show, through the first two episodes. Nothing formulaic in the first two weeks, and the main character is a very interesting study. As one of the reviews says, it's very much a character study, but this guy is going to impact on a bunch of lives. The handicapped son, the very curious wife ("What's a MILF?" heh) and the zonked-out dealer on speed are all catalysts here. I think this is quite a thoughtful show. It's not for everyone but there should be a pretty good audience for this sort of really black comedy. |

I would like to respectfully disagree with the review by quark. The start point was very effective. After that scene the viewer was left wondering how in holy hell this boring middle aged man had got in to such a crazy situation and it was gratifying watching the pieces fall in to place. And I would argue that the action immediately preceding and following the opening point on the timeline were equally if not more exciting. Granted, the 20 minutes or so following the opening scene might have been too slow to hold some viewers interest without the flash of the future. But this isn't an action show, its really a character study and a subtle comedy. The acting is great, and the writing hits a note of deadpan realism with great absurd touches that only make it more convincing. The second episode was even better, and was both more intense and uncomfortable and more funny. The humor sometimes veered towards a weird slow motion sinister slapstick. Anyway, I can't wait for the next episode, and while it apparently isn't for everyone others will enjoy this admittedly somewhat excruciating show. |
