Breaking Bad Ratings & Reviews
- maximus2d agoNew viewers might scoff at the serious tone, some even call it pretentious. This series set the stage for the current era of television we live in. When it aired it single-handedly forced the entire landscape of cable television to step up to compete. Breaking Bad became the new gold standard, and networks truly struggled to meet it, making it one of the best shows of the 21st century. In this essay I will...
- Taylor JamesMarch 11, 2025Every episode is peak except the fly one lol

- P. LoganApril 16, 2025Truly one of the greats. What more can I say that hasn't been said better by someone else already?
- ONEshotONEkil6306d agoSome shows are great. A few are iconic. But Breaking Bad stands in a class of its own—an unrelenting, pitch-perfect masterpiece that redefined what television could be. For me, it wasn’t just a show; it was the show. The best thing I’ve ever watched, and easily a 5/5 in every way that counts. From the very first episode, Vince Gilligan crafts a slow-burning descent that’s equal parts character study and high-stakes thriller. Walter White’s transformation from a timid chemistry teacher into the chilling, calculated Heisenberg is one of the most compelling arcs in TV history. And yet, the brilliance of Breaking Bad isn’t just in the evolution of its protagonist—it's in how every detail, from writing to cinematography to sound design, serves that transformation. Bryan Cranston and Aaron Paul deliver performances so raw and authentic that they transcend fiction. Their chemistry (no pun intended) anchors the show’s emotional weight, with Paul’s portrayal of Jesse Pinkman offering a deeply human, often heartbreaking counterpoint to Walt’s spiral. The pacing is near-perfect. Each season builds tension methodically, never rushing, always earning its biggest moments. And when those moments hit—whether it’s “Ozymandias,” the box cutter scene, or the final minutes of “Felina”—they hit with a precision and impact that few shows even attempt, let alone achieve. Online, Breaking Bad is often cited as the gold standard of television drama. And rightly so. It's one of the rare series that started strong, only got better, and stuck the landing. There's not a single wasted scene. Not a single weak arc. Just immaculate storytelling, start to finish. For fans like me, it wasn’t just entertainment—it was art.
- Mchamster00June 26, 2025Who doesn’t love Breaking Bad?
- yvonne valdez guillenJune 25, 2025this has been one of the best shows ever put on TV .
- Typical NerdJune 22, 2025Personally, I've never managed to be interested in any TV series, but I decided to give Breaking Bad a go since I had heard it's good. In the first season I was already hooked and throughout the whole show, each episode is constructed incredibly well to keep you ready to go into the next with just enough questions to keep you wanting to see how or if they are answered. I'd personally give it an 8/10 (or 4 stars), it's a great show that I enjoyed watching through.
- The Gutter MonkeyMarch 24, 2025It's full of contrived moments and cliche characters. But I loved the characters and was thrilled by those moments.
- EnderVA087June 17, 2025There was never a moment I was bored watching this.
- Jay Marie BaileyJune 14, 2025Epic series. I remember watching some episodes when they originally aired and didn't really get the hype, I do now. The journey you go on through this series is such an emotional rollercoaster, The best since The Americans. Also glad I watched Better Call Saul prior to watching this as per the timeline of events and helps explain some of the stories. Can't recommend this enough
- burtjohansonFebruary 5, 2025Stands the test of time. A product of a bygone era of television but a masterpiece of storytelling and character evolution nonetheless. This series will never lose its luster.
- Hairon_p.hJune 8, 2025It's very good, but it's overrated
- Hank MoyesFebruary 25, 2025Walter White is a bald headed ass yapper. Great show though.
- ghost0neMay 13, 2025Jesse we need to cook
- fraggle67April 20, 2025Makes a strong frontrunner for the title of Best T.V. drama of all time.
- Tristan HalfordMay 31, 2025Nothing more to say other than it’s the most epic series of all time!
- JeremeyMay 22, 2025Everything I think I know about meth, I learned from Breaking Bad — which is why I assume it’s blue, worth millions, and only doable if you own an RV, a pork pie hat, and a soul-crushing moral compass. Walter White goes from “I need insurance” to “I am the danger” in record time — proving once and for all that American healthcare is the real villain while Jesse Pinkman is basically what happens when a Hot Topic clearance rack gains sentience and just wants to be loved. You won’t catch me wasting a perfectly good pizza... or accepting any gifts from business partners — not drinks, not cigarettes, not even a hug. Everything in this show has a half-life. Including the people. ★★★★★ – Chemistry class never prepared me for this.
- Dee HolmesMay 21, 2025Excellent show a awesome watch slow burn, incredible acting by Aaron Paul and Bryan Cranston and I was just a joy to watch and I like to show that doesn't add too much to it because you just enough to keep you hanging on.
- AdamApril 27, 2025Nothing to say just best series of all time absolutely incredible
