Breaking Bad is my favorite series ever and this blog aims to answer the question of why. This blog is kind of an homage to the series Breaking Bad as a whole, kind of a strange love letter. It isn’t a detailed description of all the events that occur, but mostly my thoughts. Like I say, why I think the series is so good.

I should say that a few years ago I tried Breaking Bad but found it a touch too disturbing so called it good. About a year ago I talked to someone that sang Breaking Bad’s praises, figured I’d give it another chance and got sucked in pretty good. Turns out that those rather disturbing scenes from the first go round were about as disturbing as the show gets, I just happened to get them at the start. I’m looking at you Tuco!

Along these lines, I was going to list out viewer discretion, but you’ve just got to know that each episode is about the level of a PG-13 movie (some are PG). Pretty well each episode in at least the first season has a pretty bad word in it. Generally there are “storm” episodes, where a ton happens, including intense violence, and then “calm” episodes before and after the storm episodes where not as much happens.

I hit Breaking Bad kind of hard the first time around and some details kind of blurred for me. I recently watched the first three seasons of Justified and had a similar blurring. I’m hoping this blog and me watching Breaking Bad again will help me unblur a bit.

I’ve tried to be sensitive to spoilers. Each post will contain spoilers for the described episode, but I will try to ensure that the spoilers don’t extend past the given episode..

Here are some categories I’ll use

Quick summary: just like it says. I figured there are plenty of episode guides out there, I just want to help refresh folks’ memories

Thoughts: my thoughts, the real meat of this blog

Body count: who kills, who dies and how

Spoilers: the home of spoilers, of which I have tried to be very sensitive

So enjoy! Come walk with me through Walt’s path to darkness and see how Jesse, Skyler, et. al. come along for their own personal rides.

Maybe I should get an early start on an analogous blog for Mad Men.
