Breaking Bad received widespread critical acclaim and has been praised by many critics as one of the greatest television shows of all time. For the first season, the series saw a generally positive reception. New York Post critic Linda Stasi praised the series, particularly the acting of Cranston and Paul, stating "Cranston and Paul are so good, it's astounding. I'd say the two have created great chemistry, but I'm ashamed to say such a cheap thing.

But even their scenes lean toward the suspenseful, as the duo learns that killing someone, even in self-defense, is ugly, messy work. The second season saw critical acclaim. Entertainment Weekly critic Ken Tucker stated " Bad is a superlatively fresh metaphor for a middle-age crisis: It took cancer and lawbreaking to jolt Walt out of his suburban stupor, to experience life again—to take chances, risk danger, do things he didn't think himself capable of doing.

None of this would work, of course, without Emmy winner Cranston's ferocious, funny selflessness as an actor. For all its bleakness and darkness, there's a glowing exhilaration about this series: It's a feel-good show about feeling really bad. In fact, it looks as if Gilligan's bold vision for Breaking Bad , now duly rewarded against all odds, has invigorated everyone involved in the project. You can sense its maturity and rising ambition in each episode.

The third season also saw critical acclaim. Time proclaimed, "It's a drama that has chosen the slow burn over the flashy explosion, and it's all the hotter for that choice. Club said that season three was "one of television's finest dramatic accomplishments. Season four won near-universal critical acclaim. The Boston Globe referred to the show as a "taut exercise in withheld disaster" and declared the show "riveting". Club 's review of the finale summed it up as a "fantastically fitting end for a season that ran in slow motion, starting and continuing with so many crises begging for resolution week after week.

Now the decks are cleared, but that doesn't mean anybody is home free. Nothing's ever easy on Breaking Bad. Both halves of the fifth season received overwhelming critical acclaim. Following the end of the series, critic Nick Harley summarized his commendation of the show: Critics will spend the next decade dissecting and arguing about what made it great, but the reasons are endless and already well documented. Martin , author of the A Song of Ice and Fire novels, particularly the episode " Ozymandias "; Martin commented that "Walter White is a bigger monster than anyone in Westeros.

He lauded the rest of the cast and crew as well. The series received numerous awards and nominations, including 16 Primetime Emmy Awards and 58 nominations, including winning for Outstanding Drama Series in and Dramatic Series in both and Overall, the show has won industry awards and been nominated for Along with creator Vince Gilligan, fellow writers and producers Peter Gould , Thomas Schnauz , Gennifer Hutchison , Moira Walley-Beckett , Sam Catlin and George Mastras joined to discuss memories from the show's humble beginnings, character transformations that concluded in the final season as well surprising developments along the way.

For instance, the character of Jesse Pinkman was originally supposed to die halfway through season one in a tragic drug deal gone horribly wrong. The reasoning behind this decision was that Jesse served his purpose "in a meat-and-potatoes, logistical sense. However, this was eventually done away with as the story progressed beyond Gilligan's early scripts. The writers also opened up on their collaborative process and how their form of storytelling evolved with the show.

According to writer George Mastras,. It may be very, very subtle, but trust the audiences to pick up on that, because audiences do. The development of certain characters posed challenges. Skyler White became unsympathetic to most viewers in earlier seasons as she was often presented as an obstacle to Walt's ultimate agenda. The writers struggled to change the dynamic and realized that "the only way people were going to like Skyler was if she started going along with what Walt was doing.

Breaking the individual episodes was another form of problem solving for the writers.

There came a point where tracking the characters on a moment-by-moment basis proved to be more useful rather than general direction of the story. Peter Gould said they would always start with the last thought in a character's head. He shed some light on the process including the fact that he sat through "tone meetings" with Vince Gilligan.
