Breaking Bad is a drama television series created & produced by Vince Gilligan for AMC. Set & filmed in Albuquerque, New Mexico, the series follows Walter White (Bryan Cranston), a high-school chemistry teacher who is struggling with a recent diagnosis of stage-three lung cancer. White turns to a life of crime & partners with a former student, Jesse Pinkman (Aaron Paul), to secure his family's financial future before he dies, while navigating the dangers of the criminal underworld.
Among the stars are Anna Gunn & RJ Mitte as Skyler & Walter Jr., & Betsy Brandt & Dean Norris as Marie Schrader & husband Hank, a DEA agent. Others include Bob Odenkirk as Walter's & Jesse's lawyer Saul Goodman, Jonathan Banks as private investigator & fixer Mike Ehrmantraut, & Giancarlo Esposito as Gus Fring. The final season introduces Jesse Plemons as the criminally ambitious Todd Alquist, & Laura Fraser as Lydia Rodarte-Quayle.
The show received numerous awards, including 16 Primetime Emmy Awards, eight Satellite Awards, two Golden Globe Awards, two Peabody Awards, two Critics' Choice Awards, & four Television Critics Association Awards. Cranston won the Primetime Emmy Award for Outstanding Lead Actor in a Drama Series four times, while Aaron Paul won the Primetime Emmy Award for Outstanding Supporting Actor in a Drama Series three times; Anna Gunn won the Primetime Emmy Award for Outstanding Supporting Actress in a Drama Series twice. In 2013, Breaking Bad entered the Guinness World Records as the most critically acclaimed TV show of all time.
The series gave rise to Better Call Saul, a prequel featuring Odenkirk, Banks, & Esposito reprising their Breaking Bad roles. A sequel film, El Camino: A Breaking Bad Movie, starring Paul was released on Netflix & in theaters.
Also features Raymond Cruz as Tuco Salamanca, Mark Margolis as Hector Salamanca, Lavell Crawford as Huell Babineaux, & Steven Michael Quezada as Steven Gomez.

Gus saying "your channel members" was unreasonably funny

[@betterwatchtv]

😂 Thanks!!

[@autonomous8108]

For real, that actually killed me, it was so outta nowhere 😂 Im so used to hearing him say "your new lab" that my brain got confused before I realized, and started laughing LOL

[@Randinator]

My god

[@betterwatchtv]

🤣

[@merius-the-3rd]

I was reasonably happy when I heard it

[@CrumbsLamond]

5:12 gus basically said "oh well did i mention that a real man would cook?" And Walt said "you son of a bitch, im in!"

[@betterwatchtv]

🤣 Exactly!!

[@ewetwentythree]

Másterpiece. The shaving head detail was maybe my favorite. I love subtle stuff like that

[@betterwatchtv]

😁 Mássive thanks to you, Ewe23 ツ! It’s fun to amáss then unmásk these details!

[@28.nguyenquocthong34]

This episode introduced 2 most iconic characters not just in Breaking Bad but in the entire Breaking Bad universe, the ghosts of Lalo Salamanca and Howard Hamlin.

[@betterwatchtv]

Indeed! 🤣

[@benga-men]

That thumbnail is CRAZY (also I’m so hyped for One Minute)

[@betterwatchtv]

Yeah! I'm working on Sunset right now, and these two episodes have such powerful moments!

[@cuddleslikespie]

"It's the way of the world, kid. You go with the winner." "The winner takes it all!" God Better Call Saul was such a great show

[@betterwatchtv]

Ah, great parallel that I didn't think of! Thanks!

[@bartpitt2991]

that Walt and chuck connection is a mind blower

[@betterwatchtv]

Yeah, they both are dedicated to their craft, with their ego harming their relationship with amateur Jesse/Jimmy!

[@LaloSalamancaishim]

This used to be my not so favorite episode now I appreciate it because it’s really important

[@betterwatchtv]

Makes sense!

[@chrisschick38]

Hank does some super detective work during this stretch of episodes.

[@betterwatchtv]

I guess so!

[@madelineonline4214]

That ending scene with Combo always gets me. Loved kid taken by the shitty world Breaking Bad shows us. The worst part is that's our world. MAN what a depressing show.

[@betterwatchtv]

😢 Well said!

[@ReinEngel]

Best "channel members" end screen I have ever seen. Creative, and executed/edited perfectly.

[@betterwatchtv]

Aww, thank you so much! 🥹

[@thefunnyham]

When Walt was talking about his pride you and I said yes at the same time 😂

[@betterwatchtv]

🤣 Awesome!

[@fam3871]

4:02 Really like that quick parallelism you did with Chuck there ⚗️ ⚖️

[@betterwatchtv]

Thanks! (And I love your emojis!) I do keep seeing these as I make the videos. There's a Walt/Jimmy one in the next episode!

[@Deano_Edits]

You always find the best way to shoutout your channel members😂

[@betterwatchtv]

Thanks, Deano!

[@McDicker96]

Honestly finding that picture of Combo with Jesse was the exact second an actual detective would have figured out it was Walt that was behind the blue meth. You can forgive all the other stuff Hank ignored, but seeing that picture and knowing Walt was hanging out with Jesse should have sealed it in his mind.

[@betterwatchtv]

What's very weird (and consistent with that) is that Hank doesn't even think about Walt and Jesse's connection until Marie reminds him in the next episode! And then once Hank determines that Jesse somehow got a fake police officer to call his cell phone, you'd think he'd suspect Walt was involved then as well!

[@fwutig1121]

Suggestion for the next episode: during the RV destruction scene, some shots are sped up because the machine was so slow. You can tell if you focus on Walt and Jesse. (especially in the shot where the RV is being put in the crusher.)

[@betterwatchtv]

Thanks!! I did have the detail about speeding up the footage, but that's a great tip! I'll include your comment and point that out!

[@NextGen-Chems_by_Authentic]

So glad I found your Videos, I am in love with these little Details (as one who did binged all Commentary Videos from BB while at work in the office, some obviously were known to me but awesome to remember all these cool details). Editing and Voice Acting is top notch (for this style of content). I could watch 3h of you breaking down just one episode. Can't await the next one, I am glad to support you [which is my very first Member Subscription on KZbin ever.]

[@betterwatchtv]

He *is* the one who knocks… on RV doors

[@cestandmuni3849]

amazing videos

[@betterwatchtv]

Thanks, Cestand!

[@Civvie]

how do you think of these channel member ideas 💀

[@betterwatchtv]

I try to think of what the most iconic moment is and if there's a way to work you in! Or if there's a screen or paper then that's pretty tempting to modify...

[@pastabloke1697]

Awesome video as always! Since you’ll be covering Sunset next week, I’d like to mention that when Hank takes the tape off the RV we see light shining through the bullet holes, showing that there isn’t any tape on the inside. This is contradicted during the Better Call Saul flashback to… well, Better Call Saul! Where we clearly see that there is in fact, tape on the inside of the RV. Actually, I wonder, when is the earliest point that we actually see tape on the RV?

[@betterwatchtv]

Thanks, yes, I’m working on Sunset right now and did include that! It definitely made me think of BCS and the complaints about that scene. However, there *is* tape shown on the inside earlier in that episode! And then the tape is indeed shown as gone after the “light shining through” scene. One could argue that Walt ripped it off while inspecting the RV, but it just looks like a mistake to me. I was curious about scouring the tape situation in past episodes. Hmm, maybe I’ll try to do some investigation… Thanks!

[@pastabloke1697]

@@betterwatchtv I did just learn that we also see tape on the inside during 4 days out, so it’s definitely most likely that Walt did remove it while inspecting the RV

[@betterwatchtv]

Yes, I've now looked at the RV in all of its 16 BB episodes (and BCS and El Camino) and I made a new discovery that supports this possibility further. Thanks for inspiring me to dig into this more!

[@betterwatchtv]

Indeed! My mind was blown by all the references to past episodes in S5 E8! I showed them in this video: kzbin.info/www/bejne/f4qrqImQas6ihMksi=-lXVUlu6ZyTqXErk&t=225

[@betterwatchtv]

😅 Thanks, beans!

[@shahbaz2523]

If you notice the divorce papers it says the Skyler's second name is SKYLER LAMBERT. This is why probably walt got Mr Lambert by the Ed the disappearer. Walt himself chose the name Lambert

[@betterwatchtv]

Yep, that’s an interesting detail!

I agree! I’m still figuring out how to rank the episodes and this one will definitely be in the lower half.

[@SrSteve404]

can we have a "for motion picture use only money" counter?

[@betterwatchtv]

Ah shoot, I should have done that! I’ll try to if it happens again!

[@jquizzle2010]

Also when is the next video?!?

[@betterwatchtv]

Funny you should ask. Fridays for members (approx. 48 hours before they go live on Sundays) BUT while working on this week's video I was compelled to make a shorter mid-week bonus video. That should go live for members in ~2 hours and everyone else tomorrow!

[@TheRockgremlin]

Where do you get all of your facts and hidden details from -- especially the production details? I've watched other BB channels and they all regurgitate the same well-known facts that everybody already knows. Just can't say enough good things about this channel.

[@betterwatchtv]

I start with some sources like the Breaking Bad wiki, DVD commentary, misc interviews, the insiders podcast... but try to validate everything because it's not always right! Then I also find a bunch of stuff just by carefully examining practically every frame while making these videos! I probably spend too much time on these :), but I'm happy that you appreciate it!

[@TheIgnoredGender]

Walt is at peak pathetic levels in this episode and season tbh, that "I'm in, you're out" scene is just such a huge example of him being a transparent, fragile, egocentric, delusional weirdo and it's hilarious and sad at the same time!

[@betterwatchtv]

Yeah, also the look on his face when Gus lectures him on a man providing!
