Breaking Bad is an edge-of-your-seat, heart-throbbing drama, with a touch of dark comedy and lots of irony sprinkled situations in between. There are a few problems with continuity and because they are so desperate, the characters tend to get on your nerves. On the other hand, they are marvelous anti-heroes caught up in a race for their lives against a ruthless cartel, that keeps going terribly wrong. Exquisitely executed by Bryan Cranston and Aaron Paul, it is a drag race of a series, that takes pulls you along with it, down a perilous back road, filled with never-ending surprises, twists and turns.
