“Breaking Bad” is a story of taking the most dangerous risks just for the sake of saving yourself from untimely death. Here, an ordinary man transforms into a morally compromised and ruthless criminal, manufacturing and selling methamphetamine and getting involved in crimes after finding out he has terminal lung cancer.
It’s a series that has kept the world glued to its seats. “Breaking Bad currently has five seasons, and in this PVP Live list, you’ll get to know each of them, ranked from best to worst. Oh, however, there will be six on this list, as experts want to separate Season 5 into two.
Best Season: Season 5 Part 2
The quest for perfection usually leads to disappointments. “Breaking Bad” Season 5 Part 2 wasn’t a guaranteed success, but it never failed viewers’ expectations. Things were super suspenseful, considering that almost every character’s lives were threatened.
This season, the story of the main character, Walter White, has come to a fiery and emotional end. Yes, this was the very last season so far, and it is, not a surprise, also the best season.
2. Season 4
It’s rather funny because so far, the best season is the last season, and the second-best season is the season that came before. It has to be as the plot has to thicken as the season goes by. The fourth season is well-plotted, with one of the highlights being the rivalry between White and Gustavo Fring that started in the third season. Nerve-wracking. Engrossing. Furthermore, in the last episode, “Face Off,” which is also one of the show’s best episodes, the build-up is remarkable.
3. Season 5A
The third-best is the first part of Season 5. Aw, it’s quite a boring list. So predictable. Here, the drama is very compelling – the post-Fring’s world, which hugely pushed Walter on the verge of turning into a villain. So, by the first part of Season 5, he has become a tyrant, never an underdog anymore. He just got as terrifying as ever here, making this season explosive and a nail-biter.
4. Season 2
The second season is also one of the most well-loved, as with other shows, too, since this is the time you’ve already breathed normally from the pilot season. You’re now fully adjusted. For experts, the batch of episodes in this season is near-perfect. The season took the characters to grim places, and though there were moments of black comedy, Season 2 showed it could topple even the future seasons.
5. Season 3
Unfortunately, the pilot season was the worst, but let’s tackle Season 3 first, the runner-up. Post-Season 1, “Breaking Bad” is just getting better. But still, Season 3 is in the low ranks. It also properly starts the conflict between Walter and Fring, which only gets intense throughout the season. One of the highlights is the protagonist’s descent into villainy by continually challenging him physically, emotionally, and mentally in the most engaging ways. This season started the twist.
Worst Season: Season 1
Unfortunately, the season that was supposed to be the main event, as it is the start, is actually the worst season. Technically, this first season was half-baked because of the writer’s strike, which coincidentally happened at the time of creation, making this season also the shortest. Thus, the ending was also said to be anticlimactic. Yet, viewers found its start produced brilliantly.
No spoilers ahead, of course. It’s up to you to find out. You can now stream “Breaking Bad” on platforms like Roku and Netflix.
