BREAKING BAD

Breaking Bad is a TV show that I've been actively avoiding for years. My friends and family members would gush about how amazing it was and tell me that I was missing out on one of the best television shows of all time. But honestly, a show where the protagonist is an antihero really didn't appeal to me. I mean, it's about cancer and meth...sounds depressing, am I right? Anyway, I didn't understand all the hype this show was getting. So, I made it my mission to resist everyone's attempts in getting me to watch it.

But during final exams this semester, I was looking for a reason to put off studying. Naturally, I turned to my best friend Netflix. Breaking Bad popped up under my recommendations and I grew curious about why everyone wouldn't shut up about this show. So, because I had nothing else to do, I thought I'd give the first episode a try.

That was a big mistake.

Once I started watching, I could not stop. Finals Week is now a blur...I have no idea how I ended up passing all my classes because all I wanted to do was keep watching.

Every time I clicked "next episode," I was dancing with happiness:

If anyone interrupted me, my face would look pretty much like this:

I was totally sucked in. Food couldn't even tempt me:

And when I finally finished the series last week and realized it was all over, I felt a little like this inside:

What I'm trying to say is that I finally understand the hype. This show, despite its name, is good. Like really good. Like jaw-dropping, tear-inducing, nail-biting, stay-up-until-4-in-the-morning-to-see-the-next-episode good. 

Breaking Bad's going on the "Weekly Wonderful's Hall of Fame" (Actually that totally doesn't exist, but if it did, this show would be on it). The characters, the acting, the filming...everything was perfection. And the story was incredible. The show never dipped in quality, from the pilot to the series finale. Hands down, it is the best television show I've ever seen. And I don't say that lightly. I'm insanely jealous of anyone who hasn't seen the show yet, because it was such a thrill to experience for the first time.


Anyway...

Breaking Bad, thanks for such a beautiful ride. 

And in case anyone who's seen the show is in need of a few good laughs, check out these excellent remixes. Pardon the language (especially on the second vid), but they are so worth watching.
