Why Breaking Bad is Television's Magnum Opus (Video Essay)
A new chapter is knocking, and it all starts with my favorite show of all time.
Breaking Bad follows Walter White, a high school chemistry teacher who turns to a life of crime after he is diagnosed with lung cancer. Joining him in his meth-making endeavors is former student Jesse Pinkman. Together, the pair run afoul of New Mexico’s most dangerous gangsters, including the murderous Salamanca cartel family and the criminal mastermind Gustavo Fring.

    Tbh skylar is a bit naggy and can be cringey (you know the scene) but she’s never unreasonable, even sleeping with Ted isn’t really bad on her end. She expressed how she was done with Walt, only staying because he threatened her. Skylar is a victim and I’m glad she got away in the end.

    I started watching him back in NBC when Andy wasn't there in the mid 2000s. The fond memories of everything that was terribly wrong with the characters of Max Weinberg and Joel Godard the other writers who were in sketched too, those were my fondest memories of him even if I kept on watching until the end. Admittedly I would often just watch the first half hour then go to sleep.

    Walt started becoming heisenberg the day he was born. He was already an egomaniac frame 1, harboring resentment towards his former colleagues and boss. He doesn't just do things for the family, but their praise. He latched onto that appreciation once he got into business. He liked feeling powerful and in control.

    The first 2 minutes of this video have one of the best editing I have seen in any UA-cam video! This is some top level storytelling After finishing the video I have to congratulate the creator. The editing throughout this whole video essay is top notch! I cant even imagine how much time it took to find all of these specific shots and sentences. Some of the visual similarities from shot to shot that you managed to find are just si beautyfull! The one where Jessie looks at Walter one last time fluidly jump cutting into young Jessie speaking to a younger Walt. Perfection! Keep it up man! This type of content is what UA-cam is made for I hope you get millions of views and get the recognition you deserve!

    I think Walter was manipulating his son and wasn't as traumatized as you believe. He rarely if ever talked about his parents until that scene and that is very suspicious as to his true intentions. Walter got you all fooled as well.

    Walter White may not be the most psychologically complex character on television, characters like Tony Soprano or Jimmy McGill have a little more nuance; but Walt is still the best character on television because you don’t just understand his turn to the dark side in on an intellectual level, you can feel it. Breaking Bad is often criticized for being a power fantasy, but that’s precisely the point. Walt is living out his power fantasy in the form of Heisenberg and even when he is doing the most reprehensible things there is a tiny part of us that is still rooting for him. There is a tiny part of us that feels the same gratification Walt feels when he embraces the Heisenberg persona. That’s because there is a tiny Heisenberg inside all of us and the whole point of the show is to warn us that if we let it out, though it may feel good, we could lose everything that truly matters to us.

    I don`t think WW is a monster. I really don`t. I like what Brian Cranston said there, about how everybody can be "evil" under the right circumstances. I see him more as a man with his back against the wall. He is not evil. He is desperate. Even in later seasons, when he arguably does things that most ppl would call evil, there is always that desperation underneath it all. Every action he takes is a product of the situation he finds himself in. Imho And I also disagree that there is a moment when WW becomes Heisenberg. He always was WW, and he always was Heisenberg!

      Nah, the show makes it extremely clear that Walter was a monster from minute one. Jesse straight up says it in the first episode: "people like you don't just 'break bad.'" He had so many opportunities at various points through the show to stop and get out of the game, but he didn't because his narcissism and his pride compelled him to. He turned down Gretchen and Elliot's offer to pay for his treatment and give him a job because he couldn't handle the idea of anything less than total control. He even says at the end of the show "I did it for me. I liked it, I was good at it, and I was alive."
