Breaking Bad: The Complete Series [DVD]

Product Information

Opening credits use chemical symbols from the periodic table of elements as part of names : bromine (Br), and barium (Ba) for the title, none for creator Vince Gilligan (except when he gets a V for Vanadium), one for cast and crew members. And do crystal meth kingpins really care so much about the quality of their product (98% proof and a lovely shade of blue!

Emmy(r) winner Bryan Cranston portrays Walter White, a family man who turns to crime after a lung cancer diagnosis unravels his simple life.The lovely-looking set that arrived today was dark green,shadowed and the rear of the box had photo-clips of the series which was totally missing from the first set.

Compared the discs and the disc in the complete season boxset was much duller and looked poorer quality, the desks should look exactly the same.

It will show almost no signs of wear (or very little) and 'sometimes' comes partially sealed (torn seal) or e.

In an extraordinary performance, Bryan Cranston, playing Walter White, takes us with him every step of the way.Recruiting former student and small-time dealer Jesse Pinkman (Emmy(r) winner Aaron Paul) to be his partner in crime, Walt rises to the top of the meth trade, leaving a trail of bodies in his wake. He expressed that he thought it had been 5 seasons, but he made it as a passing comment so I didn't take much notice.

I didn't catch wind of the show when it initially came out, but when Netflix ads of it appeared on TV, I was more curious than ever. At the time, it felt like a poignant Chekhovian story about a decent, if slightly pathetic man trying to shore up a failed life. The packaging didn't seem right to me so I complained to the seller and I got a refund and got to keep the discs which worked perfectly.

I found it interesting, though, how, given that such a "war" was, in real life, born from bigotry, what grew from the despicable ignorance - despite, in this case, the episodes were fictional! How can anyone make a successful claim on box sets without breaking the seal and watching the entire thing? As his status grows, so do his lies, but Walt will stop at nothing to make sure his family is taken care of after he's gone, even if it means putting all their lives on the line. Saul was about as bad as his mostly-evil clients, but he was a largely-loyal hard worker - and that was a quality I found appealing! I've bought the set which has the 'UV' sticker on the front and back which states there is a UV download included in the pack.
