5.0 out of 5 stars They have broke bad., July 22, 2011

This review is from: Breaking Bad Season 4 (Amazon Instant Video)
Incredible.
I wasn't sure whether the first episode of Season 4 would be able to live up to what Season 3 ended with.. But to my absolute pleasant surprise, it did. It went above and beyond every expectation I had for the show.

You'll be amazed by the characters once more and I cannot wait till Sunday for the next episode.

5.0 out of 5 stars It is Back and Fabulous, July 19, 2011
This review is from: Breaking Bad Season 4 (Amazon Instant Video)
Boy, this show sure deserves all the awards which has been heaped upon it. Without dropping a beat, the show picks up where it leaves off and we get to see what Gus is going to do with Walter and Jesse. Gus is his usually creepy self, solely focused on the prize of raking in the most money by selling meth. Fascinating as this all is though, there are two other components we revisit which tug at our heart strings instead of our crime salivating nature.

The first is Walter's wife who can't find him and is worried that something terrible has happened. The scene she puts on with the locksmith with her baby to get him to break into Walt's house is absolutely a gem. It is a scene which can stand on its own without reference to everything else.

The second is former DEA agent Hank, Walter's brother-in-law. He is in bed at home, bidding on items on ebay and doing nothing else. He is making very slow progress on improving his mobility from his bullet wounds but a big part of that is his attitude. He is the worst person to be handicapped in the world as he absolutely has no coping skills. Hank is easily now the most pathetic character on the show, something he himself seems to realize but has no interest in changing.

Just a fabulous episode in a fabulous series.

5.0 out of 5 stars As good as ever, August 3, 2011
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Breaking Bad Season 4 (Amazon Instant Video)
I begin each new season of Breaking Bad nervous that it will let me down. I am nervous that the show will begin to stray from what made it good in the first place. Once again, though, the show has stayed true to its characters, its tone, and its story.

If you've followed the show up to this season, you will not be disappointed. Now that I'm three episodes in, I have to say that each of the characters (the leads, Walt and Jesse, Walt's "boss" Gus, laywer Saul, wife Skyler, and his in-laws Hank and Marie) is a joy to watch. My only disappointment is that I have seen too little of RJ Mitte in the role of Walt Jr. Hopefully, we will see more of him as the season develops.

If you've never watched the show, go back to the first season and give it a shot. I don't think you'll be disappointed.
