      100% 36 Reviews Tomatometer 97% 2,500+ Ratings Audience Score 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.

      Five Word R Walter stop chasing the fly. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 04/30/24 Full Review Audience Member one of the or the best season of breaking bad Rated 5 out of 5 stars 04/09/24 Full Review Elias Z By far the best season Rated 5 out of 5 stars 03/28/24 Full Review Markus S I can see this season as one that inspired modern television a lot... It starts slow, but opportunely slow, because it all has to build up in a slow way that later shows you how every one is becoming and what are they going through; Halfway through the season everything is developing very well and you get tired of waiting to see what happens next... YOU WANT MORE, AND YOU WANT IT ASAP! And finally, the last two episodes... One word: Brilliant. And the icing on the cake for me here, as the previous seasons: The suspense. It is all very well done here, bravo Vince. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 03/22/24 Full Review Jonathan M Continues to be a solid show. Well-written, suspenseful, and with good character development. On to season 4.

      Matt Zoller Seitz New York Magazine/Vulture I don't think season three is as structurally perfect as season two, and even after a rewatch there are some elements that don't work as well as they should. But the season is so visually and thematically ambitious that it doesn't really matter. Oct 18, 2019 Full Review Patrick Smith Daily Telegraph (UK) Tightly written and punctuated with Coen brothers-like humour, Breaking Bad is, rather appropriately for a show about meth dealers, eye-bleedingly addictive. I defy you not to become hooked. Rated: 5/5 Oct 18, 2019 Full Review Mark Voger Newark Star-Ledger Walter has long since become irredeemable... But Cranston is magnetic; it's no wonder he snagged a third consecutive Emmy for this season. Oct 18, 2019 Full Review Cody Leach Cody Leach (YouTube) This is where Breaking Bad becomes the contender for greatest show of all time. Here, Breaking Bad finds it's perfect tone and gives us the most tension-fueled episodes of the show yet. From this point forward, it is a nonstop ride to the series finale. Rated: 4.75/5 Aug 19, 2022 Full Review Randy Dankievitch Processed Media Breaking Bad is well on its way to becoming an American dramatic classic. Rated: B+ Feb 12, 2020 Full Review Adam Chitwood Collider It's funny, heartbreaking, and extremely intense, leading up to a season finale that builds and builds until you find yourself screaming at your television.
