Love this! A great mix of tense drama between the familys and characters within them. When you follow it through, you really get hooked on them. Added to that is a plain Chemistry teacher who starts out to earn some money but turns into so much more!
Wont give any spoliers.. but watch, watch, watch!!
Those most tense crime series you are likely to see, with maybe only its prequel series "Better Call Saul" perhaps bettering it. Breaking Bad, even now has the best build up in any series I have ever watched and I've now watched it about 3 times. I could happily watch it again.
It's the slow burn that makes Breaking Bad so fantastic, it takes you so deep into the danger and has so many tense moments you will feel gutted at the end that it can't carry on.
