Breaking Bad is an American television series created by Vince Gilligan, broadcast from January 2008 to September 2013 on AMC in the United States and Canada. I discovered this series 3 years ago without imagining that I was going to get hold of the best current series ever. It is composed of 62 episodes of 47 minute that I all watched carefully.

The series tells the story of Walter White, an over-qualified professor of chemistry and father of two children. Walt is a good guy trapped in a tidy life who sees his life turning upside down when he learns that he is suffering from lung cancer. And ironically, he is non smoking ! To ensure the financial future of his family, the good guy turns into a criminal engaging himself in the manufacture and sale of methamphetamine, with the help of one of his former students, Jesse Pinkman.

The plot takes an incredible extent as the business becomes prosperous and lies become huge. Indeed, Walter and Jesse are often caught in crazy situations but they always come out through the achievement of our great chemist. Bryan Cranston, genius actor who played the father in the series Malcolm, here embodies a character with a Shakespearean dimension. And, Aaron Paul, who plays Jesse Pinkman, gives a freshness to the series through his amazing acting. The actors are hypnotic in powerful and complex characters and the many awards they both won can prove it.

Sometimes the series seems slow but it remains hypnotic and infused with tension. The story never runs out. Without forget pre-generics which are always very inventive, and the western photography showcasing the landscapes of New Mexico. The series is worked in the manner of a real movie. Breaking Bad is a hard drug that is addictive fast enough.
