Best Seasons of Breaking Bad

Everybody loves Breaking Bad. In case you are one of the sad few individuals who hasn’t watched this AMC drama series, it’s about a high school chemistry teacher who turns to a life of crime after being diagnosed with lung cancer. The story is great. The acting is great. Everything about it is great.

So, what is your favorite season of Breaking Bad? Here is how I order the best seasons of Breaking Bad.

Season 4
The latest season was the best season. Though it started off slow, the ending was fantastic.

Season 2
The action really picked up in season 2. This is when everyone became a Breaking Bad fan.

Season 1
Although some of the acting struggled at first, the development of the story was smooth.

Season 3
The “Fly” episode was a low-point for Breaking Bad and it took a while to recover.

Breaking Bad Fans Get Online Fix

Kori Ellis — Wed, 18 Feb 2009 05:00:28 +0000

Fans of the Emmy Award-winning series Breaking Bad can get their fix of the series online prior to its season premiere on AMC, which takes place on Sunday, March 8th at 10pm EST.

Beginning today, Tuesday, February 17th, five original minisodes (3-5 minutes in length) are available for viewing on AMCTV.com and Crackle.com. The webisodes feature Breaking Bad‘s regular cast in a variety of interesting storylines.

Additionally, Sony Pictures Television and AMC have launched “Walt’s Warning” as a follow-up to Breaking Bad‘s season one viral effort. This is a personalized viral experience that features the character Walt (played by Bryan Cranston) interacting with users. Viewers can choose their own online adventure from four different possible outcomes. The interactive experience allows users to personalize the video, send “Walt’s Warning” to their Facebook friends and more.

The third way that users can get a dose of the popular show is by watching abbreviated episodes from the first season on The Minisode Network beginning on Friday, March 6th. This platform features 5-minute adaptations of TV shows available through Sony Pictures Television’s The Minisode Network, as well as its online and mobile partners. Fans can watch the bite-sized episodes from season one through: “the The Minisode Network on Crackle, YouTube, MySpace, AOL Video, Hulu, Adobe Media Player, Sling, TV.com, Veoh, and on mobile at Verizon Wireless’ V CAST Video service and Sprint TV.”

This online campaign aims to build momentum leading up to the second season of the show by immersing viewers in the Breaking Bad experience. Sony Pictures Television and AMC seem to have every angle covered with their three-pronged attack — the original mini-webisodes, the viral video and the minisodes from the first season. This will not only allow current fans to stay excited about the TV series, but also encourage new fans who missed last season.
