I agree.
To be appreciated it must be watched from the beginning. It is very convoluted with plots and sub plots and subsub plots. I have watched it more than once to develop an understanding of what actually took place.
The conservative aspect are the family life of the two sisters. Walt and Skyler pretty much have an average middle class family. He is a chemistry teacher. In Albuquerque. Aside from being the most wealthy and capable meth cook and dealer, Walt is a down to earth great middle class guy. His wife Skyler struggles constantly to be a mom and a wife.
Skyler’s sister is a wonderfully written flake who has purple everything except kids. Her husband id the DEA agent in Charge for New Mexico.
The tension between the sisters and the brothers in law that are actually great pals make for great drama
Unlike the various bad guys against whom Walt is pitted, he is smart. He uses his intellect and education to prevail.
Jessee provides a window into the American seamy culture of poorly educated but middle class young men that deal drugs. Jessee is a tragedy. He is a criminal with misplaced honor.
The worst character is the lawyer. He plays all side against the middle and is a totally disgusting but skilled individual.
Breaking Bad reveals a very wide cross section of America
The best episode is called Face Off, a genuine life and death encounter between two powerful men. It is a great tragic comedy scene .
I’ll miss this Sunday but will tape it.
My question is why did Walt return to a fenced in weed over grown former home with all his hair (chemo treatment for his cancer was hard on his hair) and retrieve a vial of sarin powder he synthesized to kill his arch enemy.
ricin. not sarin, which is a gas. he made ricin.
and it’s because there’s someone he’s gonna use it on. someone he can physically get to and be close enough to to deploy it in/on something they’d ingest. right now best guess is the lawyer, jesse, or the junkyard guy, because he knows about the rv/hank issue waaaaay back.
