Breaking Bad starts with a series of very interesting questions to analyze, what would you do at the end of your life? What actions would you take to improve your well-being and that of those around you? Did you really live your life?.
Throughout the series we see an evolution in all the characters, from Walter, a chemistry professor who after a series of events ends up being a methamphetamine drug dealer to Skyler, who goes from being a mother who takes care of her family to be a victim of Walter's actions and then an accomplice.
Everything in this serie is connected, each chapter creates its own atmosphere and constantly analyzes the actions of the characters, from how they behave, what decisions they make for their benefit and how each one faces the problems generated by their own hand.
It is a difficult oeuvre to digest since everything is constantly changing, from the first to the fifth season; But this is what makes Breaking Bad such a recognized oeuvre. Each chapter lays the foundation for what it sells in the future and that causes tension to be generated. Each character handles different situations that lead him to relate to others and this generates a story; But not just any story, but a great story.
From the first to the last scene we see different angles, tones and shots that reflect the thoughts, emotions and ideas of each character on camera. There are several moments when a scene takes on a different color and this makes us familiar with a particular character, moment or situation, which makes the scene in question speak for itself and give us a context without telling us directly (such as the scenes in the desert to give an example). Each color used generates a familiarity with the viewer and makes the moments seen throughout a chapter important and easier to remember in future chapters and settings.
Thus, Breaking Bad is a serie that brilliantly relates events and situations throughout each chapter, with music (composed by Dave Porter) and the different songs that are used throughout the series, raise to a higher level events that are already exciting to see.
Breaking Bad is a serie that must be seen by everyone, without doubt, a piece that marks a before and after.
