Warning: Spoilers
The best show ever. With unique dialogues and complex references to chemistry, this show is devoured by nerds who dream of a transformation like White himself, a mundane everyman to a stellar drug kingpin. The series is poetic from the very start to the end with brilliant wide-ranging imagery. On that note, it is essential to pay heed to how the creators stopped at an appropriate moment, ending with Walter's death, unlike another fan favourites which had the most disappointing finale in the history of TV Shows. As the line between a protagonist and antagonist begin blurring with Walter Blanco's complex character arc taking action, the show plays well with the psychological complexities of the character. Blanco's timid and ordinary demeanour gradually makes way for his ruthless and egoistic persona that reeks of megalomania and sociopathic tendencies. He is a pathetic hero who is dejected and cheated; he is envious and manipulative, leaving the audience to question their love and loyalty. He is an ultimate grey character who makes your quintessential high school chemistry teacher Mr. Brown seem paltry and insignificant.
