Breaking Bad (Critique)
Critique of Breaking Bad. Only in America... would a man need to turn to crime to pay his medical bills.
I loved it. The characters are full and rich, and their arcs are compelling. The casting is perfect and the chemistry between the main characters is too; they play off each other perfectly. Hank is also a huge favourite.
Overall: a scathing indictment of the American healthcare system, but excellent.

Thou Shalt Not Set Fire to a Nunnery
"You're going to have to help me move the body." Julie stood in the doorway to my room, which was a cell really, and she was as close to breathless as I'd ever seen her. She looked dashing in the moonlight, and lit up with the glow of adventure.

Standing While Falling
Quotation from Friedrich Nietzsche "He who wrestles long with monsters should beware lest he himself become a monster. And if you gaze long into an abyss, the abyss also gazes into you. Man is not destroyed by suffering, but by the meaning he makes of it."

Mistakes in Stranger Things - Season 5
Stranger Things 5: A Train Wreck of Lazy Writing and Brand Blunders When Stranger Things first dropped in 2016, it was a masterpiece of atmosphere and tight storytelling. It felt like a love letter to the 80s. Fast forward to Season 5, and that love letter has been shredded. What we got instead was a bloated, nonsensical mess that felt like the creators were just checking boxes to get it over with. It wasn't just a disappointment; it was a total collapse of the logic and stakes that made us care about Hawkins in the first place.

Brilliant show! Spot on review 💖
Oooo, it's an indictment. Makes me wanna watch this show!
Nice
Definitely a series that ran well and hit the plot just right!
I agree with everything, including the indictment of the American healthcare system. It was one of my favorite shows also because I binge-watched it with my son. The show runners and writers set such a high bar for twists and puzzles it was mind-boggling.
Great critique! Only ever seen some of it but liked what I saw. Bryan Cranston is one of my favourite actors. I would watch him in anything. Even Malcolm in the Middle!
it was never the show for me but I can certainly appreciate the sheer mind boggling amount of skill it took to create!
Breaking Bad is one of my all time favourites. Probably the best acting I've ever seen in a TV series. Phenomenal cast. Have you watched Better call Saul? Hank has a cameo!
Lol I just published my own critique on Breaking Bad a few hours ago! Great series! Great minds think alike 😉
Interesting. verrrrrrrry Interesting. I saw it as more of a "he became a bad guy because he was already a bad guy underneath it all." The cancer thing was the catalyst for sure, but he'd eventually have done something. Kinda similar I guess to Jekyll and Hyde. Also, I absolutely hated Hank and was kinda glad when he got killed. Sorry, not sorry. lol. I did like how succinct you got your point across with this critique!
