4.0 out of 5 stars On Demand Versions Not Same As DVD, is Censored, June 15, 2010
This review is from: Breaking Bad Season 1 (Amazon Instant Video)
The DVD version of Breaking Bad is uncensored. Amazon VOD is not. There is no additional content but certain words are not blanked out and certain screens are not blurred. I don't want to give examples since that would create spoilers, but you'll see the differences in the pilot episode at a minimum.

5.0 out of 5 stars dangerously addictive, April 15, 2010
This review is from: Breaking Bad Season 1 (Amazon Instant Video)
Great writing, acting, directing, everything is awesome about this show. Dark subject matter yes, but it's counterbalanced by hilarious, uplifting, fantastically written moments. Bryan Cranston is so great in this. This show is my addiction. :)

4.0 out of 5 stars Compelling story, January 23, 2008
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Breaking Bad Season 1 (Amazon Instant Video)
Wonder what would make a high-school chemistry teacher start cooking meth? This pilot episode of Breaking Bad does an amazing job of connecting you with the life of the man who makes this unthinkable decision. Not only is the story compelling, but the characters are incredibly well played and the pace of the action makes it hard to turn away. This is an excellent show! I cannot wait to see the next episode.
