Ranking Breaking Bad (All Five Seasons From Least Awesome to Most Awesome)

For me, the main reason why season 4 outshines season 5 is because season 4 has Gus and Season 5 does not. Gus is my favorite character.

I love this show and I just rewatched it since my girlfriend had never seen it. Every season is awesome, but I definitely have my preferences. 5. Season 1- it’s a really great introduction, with a darkly comedic tone. The only thing that holds it back is that it doesn’t have the impact or the length of the others. 9.5/10 4. Season 3- Aside from the slow start in the first half, this is nearly a perfect season. The storyline of Gus and Walt’s working relationship goes through such a great arc. The last 2 episodes of this season are 2 of the best episodes of the entire show. I just get a little bit more out of the next 3 seasons 9.5/10 3. Season 2- I absolutely love this season. This is where the show really found it’s footing. The storyline this season is fantastic and the black and white sequences just fill you with so much anticipation. The introduction of Saul, Gus, and Mike I’ve always enjoyed going back and seeing where they started. 10/10 2. Season 4- talk about a nerve wracking season that is just absolutely brilliant. Walt vs. Gus is the most captivating storyline of the entire series. Walt completely becomes full villain by the very end. Face Off is just a masterpiece of an episode and I think is my personal favorite episode. 10/10 1. Season 5- this is my favorite season of all time. Heisenberg is on full display here and it really is the rise and fall of him this season. It’s a masterpiece of a season and it’s absolutely brilliant. Everything you think is going to happen doesn’t happen that way and it’s all the better for it. 10/10

Dude this is my second comment in one day since I found your channel. You're God damn right there are no low points in Breaking Bad. It was a phenomenal series. My one complaint is the banter between the sisters, until season 5. Btw I LOVE the background track, "Counting Bodies Like Sheep" (remix?) By APC. Thank you for having the courage to put yourself out there and share your unique perspective on great media. You are a fantastic critic. Maybe it's because we share a lot of the same point of view. Your videos hit home with me. You're awesome at what you do and if you have a team behind you they're great too. If you don't, you're a one man powerhouses. I wish you and yours all the best in the world. I know I'm late to this video and you won't even see it, but damn it, you're KILLING IT! Thank you for giving your unique perspective. It makes me feel like I'm not alone. EDIT: This was the only series that I've watched where I really felt the six days between episodes. It was so hard to watch it in "real time." This is the one and only tv show where I want to own the entire series. BB is the GOAT

I didn't have cable and I finally got Netflix in between seasons 4 and 5. Upon advice from a friend I started watching. Yes, binge is an overused word, but I probably watched 4 seasons in a couple of weeks. Even called into work one day just to keep watching lol. I do think though there is something to be said for having to wait a week in between episodes and several if not many months in between seasons. Sure it's torture, but I think the experience is a little more pure. Still loved it obviously. And huzzah for saying goodbye at the proper juncture and not overstaying its welcome like a certain zombie show that just won't die.

[@debysteele3806]

The writers of that zombie show should have taken lessons from Vince Gilligan. I stopped watching when they killed Hershel. I read recaps though. They travel, find a home, people are bad. They travel, find a home, people are bad etc. Rick, the William Shatner of the crew, is going to whine or be bat crazy. Carl still has his hat on, and the rules change. I am so glad Vince Gilligan stopped it before it went Fonzie-jumps-the-shark.

Hey Cody found out about your channel last year because of your Breaking Bad videos. Saw the season 1 and 2 reviews which after I watched both I went "Shit I got to get into this show now". Which I'm not kidding shortly after I saw them I blind bought EVERY season of Breaking Bad(and seasons 1-4 of Better Call Saul) and binged watch all 5 for the first time like a crack addict all before El Camino came out and I love this show so much now. Consider my subscription a thank you for making a Breaking Bad fan out of me.

[@preahko]

1. Jane's death was one of the most righteous and most deserved in the series. 2. You made the right decision on the runner-up. There's a lot that's awesome about Season 5 but they really blew it with that preposterous, blatant fan-service ending. 3. Season 4 truly is the pinnacle. As it happens, that was the first season of this show that I watched as it unfolded...and I gotta say, for most of it, I hated it! Walt was so emasculated and weak...until he wasn't. That end payoff was SO worth what it took to get there. Plus, c'mon, the poisoning sequence at Don Eladio's has got to be the greatest scene of this entire series.

Thank you so much for this, and all, the "Breaking Bad" videos you've done leading up to (the wonderful) "El Camino". I couldn't agree more that this show is television perfection.

Thanks to your videos, my first (long overdue) such revisitation begins tonight. --Can't wait!

I thought you said at the end of season 3 it ended with a cliff hanger of Jesse pointing a gun at Gus and I was thinking dont you mean Gale ; the fact that I remembered his name even thought he was a miner character and I've only watched this show one goes to show how memorable this amazing show was and is. P.S. I'm not very good at remembering peoples names even in shows I've watched numerous times. My favorite season of Breaking Bad is Season 1 I love dark comedys the most and what got me into the show was the very moment Cody said was what got him. What I didn't like about Season 5 was the Neo - Nazis, making Walt unsympathetic and turning Jesse into a snitch especially after he was becoming my favorite this season with being his smartest with the scientific solutions to their problems. Also Jesse has always been my favorite character amongst some of the most amazing complex riviting perfectly acted and casted characters and acters.
