Product Description

Product Description

Emmy® Award winner Bryan Cranston stars as Walter White, a down-on-his-luck chemistry teacher struggling to make ends meet for his wife (Anna Gunn) and physically challenged son (RJ Mitte). Everything changes when Walter receives a startling diagnosis: terminal lung cancer. With only a few years to live and nothing to lose, Walter uses his training as a chemist to cook and sell crystal meth with one of his former students (Aaron Paul). As his status grows, so do his lies, but Walt will stop at nothing to make sure his family is taken care of after he’s gone, even if it means putting all their lives on the line. Executive produced by Vince Gilligan and Mark Johnson.

Amazon.com

No one would confuse the desperate dad Bryan Cranston plays in this character-driven drama with the fun-loving Hal from Malcolm in the Middle. In AMC's Breaking Bad, Walter White lives in the suburbs with his wife--and wears tighty-whiteys--but the similarities end there. During the pilot, the cash-strapped chemistry teacher finds out he has inoperable lung cancer. He and Skyler (Deadwood's Anna Gunn) have one son, Walter Jr. (R.J. Mitte), and a daughter on the way. With two years to get his affairs in order, Walter comes up with a wild plan: he and former student Jesse (Aaron Paul), a drug dealer, will open a meth lab.

In the hands of creator Vince Gilligan (The X-Files), Bad's first season plays like the improbable offspring of Weeds and The Shield. With nothing left to lose, the Albuquerque 50-year-old uses his death sentence as a catalyst to break every rule he's ever followed while keeping his family--including Skyler's radiologist sister, Marie (Betsy Brandt), and her DEA agent husband, Hank (Dean Norris)--out of the loop. Throughout these seven episodes, Walt takes on a hostage, a dead body, and a partner who likes to sample his own product. Based on the description alone, the program shouldn't work as well as it does, except Gilligan and company keep the situations psychologically believable and Emmy winner Cranston makes Walt surprisingly sympathetic as he swings between compassion and self-interest. As he tells his students, "Chemistry is the study of change," a statement that applies equally well to the show, since Walt ends up in a very different place than the one he began. This three-disc set comes complete with cast and crew commentary, an installment of AMC's Shootout, two featurettes, deleted scenes, and screen tests. --Kathleen C. Fennessy

5.0 out of 5 stars Terrific DVD for a Terrific Series
Reviewed in the United States on August 17, 2010

I did not start watching AMC's "Breaking Bad" until after the second season had already aired. Having played catch-up and seen Seasons 1-3 in their entirety, I do not hesitate when I tell people that this is simply the best show on television right now, bar none.

But most people spend these reviews talking about how great the series is, so I'll skip the warm-and-fuzzies and talk directly about the Season 1 DVD set that you are probably trying to decide whether to buy or not. Here's my recommendation: Buy it.

First off, the box and cases. The box art is terrific, with the iconic Walt-White-in-tightie-whities stuck right onto the front. The box (which doesn't take up more than 3/4 an inch of shelf space, if even that) contains two plastic disc cases -- the first holds Episodes 1-6, and the second holds Episode 7 along with the Bonus Features. While I would avoid getting the box (which is something in between paper and cardboard) wet, the plastic cases hold up pretty well... I've dropped them several times and they've never so much as cracked on me.

The picture quality is terrific. AMC is known for shooting their scripted television almost cinematically, so if you're a full-screen fanatic, get the heck out of here because widescreen is the only way to watch these. Blu-Ray babies: Sorry, the colors don't necessarily pop, but this isn't the kind of show that necessarily would benefit from that anyway.

And finally, the bonus features. Audio commentaries are attached to both the pilot episode and Episode 6 ("Crazy Handful of Nothin'"), and feature showrunner Vince Gilligan, along with cast and occasionally crew. Most of the time, it can be pretty entertaining. The second disc has a Making Of feature for those of you who like that sort of thing; the real meat of the behind-the-scenes, though, comes from their 'Inside Breaking Bad' video compilation, in which each video is dedicated to a different aspect of the show (one video deals with Bryan Cranston shaving his head for the role, while another deals with the aforementioned tightie-whities). Also on the disc is a photo gallery and a segment of AMC's interview program called "Shootout," when Cranston, Gilligan, and producer Mark Johnson appeared to promote the show. And last but certainly not least, the Bonus Features include screen tests of actors Aaron Paul, Anna Gunn, Betsy Brandt, and Dean Norris; really cool stuff if, again, you are into that sort of thing.

Overall, a terrific box set for the show's first season, cut short by the writers' strike a few years ago. Season 2's boxset is even better, and I recommend that as soon as you buy this set, you hop on over and buy that one as well.

I hope this review was informative, and I hope you enjoy the show as much as I did.

The bar that was set for television with shows like The Sopranos and The Wire has been taken up a notch with Breaking Bad. Like both of those shows, its characters are realistically drawn and believably acted by amazing casts (as noted by many, particularly Brian Cranston's "Walt"). What seemingly began as a somewhat simplistic premise in season one rises to the level of engrossing thriller by the end of season two - and then to the level of Shakespearian Tragedy by the end of season Three. The character arc of Walter White from complacent and defeated suburbanite to calculating criminal is one of the most rewarding rides I've ever experienced in any form of fiction (TV shows/movies/novels).

The reason I say the bar is taken up a notch is not because I think it's better than the shows I mentioned (persa). There is a bit of "apples and oranges" in comparing any TV show to another. It's because Breaking Bad easily on par, yet accomplishes its greatness sort of with one hand tied behind its back. HBO has the freedom as a premium channel to be as vulgar or graphic as the story dictates... nearly uncensored. AMC (who produces Breaking Bad) works within much more restrictive limits, yet feels every bit as gritty and intense as those other shows. And I'm not sure that seeing the occasional naked person or cussing rant could do much to improve upon it (though I'm certainly not against either =)

Unlike in some shows, Walt's amazing character arc never puts the plot in the back seat. Too often that happens to a show of this type, making it devolve into tedious melodrama that starts to feel like a soap opera. I love Mad Men, but half-way into season two I started to feel like I was watching Melrose Place with brilliant set-design (thank god it redeemed itself in season three). Except for the occasional humorous moment (and sometimes there are many), the show is definitely a drama, but it's punctuated with enough twists and unexpected turns to satisfy the most rabid thriller fan. It's plotting is written near-flawlessly.

On another note, although the show looks nothing like a Wes Anderson film, its meticulous set-design and artfully cinematic look bring comparisons to my mind. There is never a scene or shot that seems out of place or boring. It also has moments of unforeseen action (think Bill Murray kicking the Pirates off his boat) that seem to come out of nowhere and lurch the characters and storyline forward rather than merely being cliché set-pieces which seem to be expected from a show essentially about criminals.

In case you haven't noticed, I'd highly recommend the show. =)

1. Der Einstieg (Pilot)
Walter White (Bryan Cranston) ist für viele seiner Mitmenschen eine Lachnummer und ein Loser. Der Chemielehrer hat es nicht einfach in seinem Leben. An der Schule verdient er kaum was, sein Sohn ist behindert. Seine schöne Frau Skyler (Anna Gunn) ist schwanger und versucht der Familie mit Verkäufen von Habseligkeiten über das Internet über Wasser zu halten. Um die Familie irgendwie zu unterstützen, hat er einen Zweitjob in einer Autowaschanlage. Peinlich genug, dass er miesen Kerlen wie seinem Schüler Chad, der im Unterricht noch nie was um ihn gegeben hat, den Luxuswagen waschen muss. Zudem kommt, dass Walt seit einiger Zeit ein Husten quält. Er bricht in der Waschanlage zusammen und wird ins Krankenhaus gebracht. Da er nicht raucht, sind die Lungengeräusche verdächtig. Es stellt sich heraus, dass er an einer unheilbaren Form von Lungenkrebs leidet. Er will seine Familie unterstützen. Da sein Schwager Drogencop ist und er das Knowhow hat kommt ihm eine fragwürdige Idee...
> Der Pilotfilm macht Lust auf mehr. Er zeigt, wie aus einem Loser, der eigentlich immer nur die Regeln befolgt hat und dafür vom Leben einen Tritt in den Hintern bekommen hat aufgrund einer todbringenden Krankheit seine Familie weiterhin versorgt wissen will. Als einziger Ausweg bleibt ihm da nur in kürzester Zeit, eine Menge Kohle zu verdienen… Bryan Cranston, den ich bislang davor nur aus Malcolm mittendrin kannte, spielt die Rolle bravourös.
> Bemerkenswert für eine Serie sind die expliziten Sexdarstellungen unter der Bettdecke oder nackte Brüste.

2. Die Katze ist im Sack…
Nachdem Walt und sein notgedrungener Partner von dessen „Geschäftspartnern“ bedroht wurden und sich Walt seines Lebens erwehrt hat, geht er davon aus, dass die beiden durch die chemische Reaktion gestorben sind. Allerdings lebt einer von ihnen noch… Wohin mit der Leiche? Und wohin mit dem Überlebenden?

3. …und der Sack ist im Fluss
Nachdem die eine Leiche aufgelöst ist, gibt es immer noch das Problem des Dealers. Die Lage spitzt sich zu, als sich Walts Frau Skyler einmischt. Sie bekommt Wind von den Drogen…
> Der Titel der jeweils zusammenhängenden Episoden 2 und 3 ist eine Anspielung auf einen Film mit Tony Curtis und Burt Lanchester hinsichtlich der Drecksarbeit.

Extras:
Audiokommentar zu „Der Einstieg“
Entfallene Szenen (7 Minuten)

DVD 2
4. Die Diagnose
Walts Frau Skyler lässt die Bombe auf einer Familienfeier platzen. Sein Schwager und Skylers Schwester sichern ihm bzw. ihr die Hilfe zu, die sie benötigen. Aber Walt weiß auch, die Behandlung kostet Geld. Man sucht sich einen der 10 besten Onkologen der USA aus, der eine Behandlung vorschlägt. Natürlich trägt die Krankenkasse den Spezialisten nicht. Walt deckt die erste Anzahlung mit dem Drogengeld. Aber die Behandlung kostet 90.000 Dollar – als Einstieg!
> Die Serie zeigt auch, dass ein kleiner Junkie und Drogendealer eine Vorgeschichte hat. Ungeschönt wird in den Vorepisoden die Entfernung der Leiche gezeigt. Man sollte also keine schwachen Nerven haben.
> Der Originaltitel Cancer Man ist eine Anspielung auf X Files und dem Krebskandidaten.
> Der BMW, der in der Episode hochgejagt ist, ist nicht funktionsfähig gewesen.

5. Grauzonen
Nachdem er bei seinen Eltern rausgeflogen ist, obwohl er nichts getan hat, versucht Jesse dieses Mal auf ehrliche Art und Weise Geld zu verdienen. Er tritt souverän im Vorstellungsgespräch auf, gerät aber wieder in die falschen Kreise. Sein Partner Walt möchte mit ihm auch nichts mehr zu tun haben. Ihn hatte er bereits gefragt, ob er für ihn wieder Crystal kochen möchte. Auf einer Party trifft er einen Ex-Partner, dem er eigentlich damals auf seine Erfolgsschiene gebracht hat. Der bietet Walt eine Lösung für alle Probleme an, doch Walt lehnt aus Stolz ab. Schließlich war das alles seine Idee und wäre auch seine Firma gewesen…

6. In der Höhle des Löwen
Walt ist auf der Suche nach einem Zwischenhändler, da Jesse das Meth nur in kleinen Mengen verticken kann. Da der erste Zwischenhändler tot ist wendet er sich über seinen Freund an Tuco. Der will das Zeug jedoch nur in Kommission verticken und schlägt Jesse zusammen. Ein schwerer Fehler, denn Walt hat genug mitgemacht…
> Zu der Episode gibt es einen Audiokommentar.
> Der Originaltitel der Episode ist eine Anspielung auf einen Film mit Paul Newman.

Extras
zwei geschnittene Szenen, allerdings nicht die im Kommentar erwähnte, als sich Bryan Cranston die Haare abrasiert.

7. Lehrgeld
Tuco will weiteres Meth. Aufgrund der Qualität kann ihm Walt ziemlich viel Kohle abringen. Allerdings unterschätzt er dabei die Zutatenquantität. Schließlich brechen er und Jesse selbst in eine Chemiefabrik ein um einen Ersatzstoff zu klauen… Skyler muss unvermittelt feststellen, dass ihre Schwester ein kleines Problem hat.
> Es ist erschreckend, was man mit alltäglich erhältlichen Mittel alles machen kann.
> Der Originaltitel der Episode ist eine Anspielung auf Fargo.
> Die „Chemiefabrik“ ist in Wahrheit eine Abwasseranlage und dort hielt sich das Team den ganzen Abend zum Dreh auf. Würg…
