Three seasons into Breaking Bad (spoils)

Posted by prayformojo (aka mayhem) Nov 4 '13, 10:06

the second half of Season 3 was grrrrrreat. Some really good television.
Skyler's character actually added to the show.

For the first 2+ seasons, all the drug related stuff was really good. All the domestic stuff was really, really, really bad. Somehow - I'm not sure if it was the writing or Gunn's acting - Skyler, who should have been a sympathetic character, was really unlikeable.

Gus Fring is a fantastic character. I hadn't heard much about Esposito's work, but he is the best part of any scene he is in. Quiet & menacing is a tough combination to pull off, but Esposito aces it.
