Breaking Bad is always something that I chose to pass by when flicking through Netflix, there was never a reason for it, it just never appealed to me strongly enough. However due to some powerful persuasion and light peer pressure from a work colleague in 2012 I was introduced to what would soon turn out to be one of my favourite TV programs today.
From episode one I was caught in what would be a very slippery slope. Watching episode after episode unable to stop watching what Walter White was getting up to.When I began to watch the series there was already at least two or three seasons readily available to watch. This was a downside for me as I swiftly lost a large part of if not all of my spare time to getting caught up to date with the thrilling TV series. Looking back on it now it was probably quite sad the days I spent watching episode after episode day after day, however that just highlights how addictive the program can become, with each episode ending on its own mini cliff hanger it keeps you exceedingly eager to keep watching!
The show was initially aired in 2008 and is one of the best TV shows available to watch today, and is certainly one of my personal favorites!
"Breaking Bad" a show about a "Mild-mannered high school chemistry teacher Walter White thinks his life can't get much worse. His salary barely makes ends meet, a situation not likely to improve once his pregnant wife gives birth, and their teenage son is battling cerebral palsy. But Walter is dumbstruck when he learns he has terminal cancer. Realizing that his illness probably will ruin his family financially, Walter makes a desperate bid to earn as much money as he can in the time he has left by turning an old RV into a meth lab on wheels." - Wiki
Breaking Bad has an impressively high rating of 9.5 out of 10 on IMDB with over 671,000 votes. This is outstanding and just highlights how highly praised the show is by many. The show speaks for itself and needs no one to backup its greatness, you just need to take the first step and watch the first couple of episodes. With 62 episodes (5 seasons) you had better have plenty time to spare before starting your own Breaking Bad journey.
The show can be found on Netflix, but if you prefer to own the DVD the full box-set can be bought via Amazon for around £60.99 - You can get the Box-Set Here - However if you think you can get through all 62 episodes in a month or two then I would highly advise you just to use Netflix for the price of £6.99 a month - You can sign up here - or if you have never used Netflix before you can sign up for a free months trial!
The next program I will plan on discussing is "Bates Motel" a contemporary prequel to the genre-defining film Psycho, it gives a portrayal of how Norman Bates' psyche unravels through his teenage years. Fans discover the dark, twisted back story of Norman Bates and how deeply intricate his relationship with his mother, Norma, truly is....
