“Iu0026#39;m fairly embarrassed to say that Iu0026#39;m watching this critically acclaimed show for the first time. The hype around Breaking Bad is something Iu0026#39;ve never been able to understand. The premise behind the show has never been that interesting to me. Sure, itu0026#39;s a creative idea, but would it work as a show? Apparently it does according to critics and the general public. But i finally decided to sit down and watch it, and I can definetly say Iu0026#39;m intrigued.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eWhile this definetly wasnu0026#39;t the ground-breaking pilot i was expecting, it was far from bad. It was actually pretty good. The main focus I found to be the Tragedy on this character, Walter White, who just seems to have the most boring but also tragic life ever. I disliked a couple of the scenes involving his character towards the start, mainly the birthday party scene, which involved a pretty annoying and unbearable character wishing Walt a happy birthday in the most condescending way I have ever seen. It was quite sad seeing the life of this character, and what I found great is that all we needed were a few scenes showing Walteru0026#39;s daily routine to see how depressing his life is.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eThe other character, Jesse Pinkman, Iu0026#39;m assuming is going to be a secondary character, has a lot of room to become an interesting character. Iu0026#39;m hoping we donu0026#39;t get any flashback sequences explaining his backstory and that itu0026#39;s included in clever dialogue and writing.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eThe reason a lot of Pilots donu0026#39;t seem to impress me often is that they donu0026#39;t really give a scope of the rest of the show, but this episode definetly did. Whilst the character moments with Walter were upsetting, they were a little bit slow and had it been on in the background I probably would have turned it off out of boredom. But past that first section the episode picked up, and Iu0026#39;m very glad it got straight to the action and point of the show instead of spending a few pointless episodes building it up. Iu0026#39;m expecting big things from you Breaking Bad.”
