Breaking Bad begins with the greatest pilot episode ever in the history of American television, then strings brilliant hour after brilliant hour, eventually building the most satisfying episodic series since the Wire. Never has a show known itself so intimately so immediately than Breaking Bad. Creator Vince Gilligan and star Bryan Cranston involve audiences, like we have rarely been before, into a diseased riddled contemporary America as shouldered through the calm, authoritative, hilarious, heart-breaking chaos of Walter White, an unassuming family man whose evolution from high school chemistry teacher to cancer patient to crystal meth kingpin is nothing if not the most brilliant bit of character exploration since Tony Soprano.
