Mild-mannered high school chemistry teacher Walter White thinks his life can't get much worse. His salary barely makes ends meet, a situation not likely to improve once his pregnant wife gives birth, and their teenage son is battling cerebral palsy. But Walter is dumbstruck when he learns he has terminal cancer. Realizing that his illness probably will ruin his family financially, Walter makes a desperate bid to earn as much money as he can in the time he has left by turning an old RV into a meth lab on wheels.

I don't think season three is as structurally perfect as season two, and even after a rewatch there are some elements that don't work as well as they should. But the season is so visually and thematically ambitious that it doesn't really matter. Go to Full Review
Patrick Smith Daily Telegraph (UK) 10/18/2019
5/5
Tightly written and punctuated with Coen brothers-like humour, Breaking Bad is, rather appropriately for a show about meth dealers, eye-bleedingly addictive. I defy you not to become hooked. Go to Full Review
Josh Gajewski Los Angeles Times 10/17/2019
A television show is at its best when the real drama occurs beneath the surface of the screen. That's exactly what is happening with this third season of Breaking Bad, and the effect is marvelous. Go to Full Review

4.75/5
This is where Breaking Bad becomes the contender for greatest show of all time. Here, Breaking Bad finds it's perfect tone and gives us the most tension-fueled episodes of the show yet. From this point forward, it is a nonstop ride to the series finale. Go to Full Review

Kid R. @Philadelphiagoosebumpsfan 1d Love the pasing and the story of Gus fring See more André Ferreira F @andre_f 2d É uma temporada quase perfeita, uma das melhores que eu alguma vez vi. Os últimos 2-3 episódios deixaram-se presa à cadeira. É difícil de arranjar palavras para descrevê-la, só tem um episódio fraco. (avaliação: 9/10) See more Jus B @Jusban Jan 20 Breaking Bad is a masterpiece, without exaggeration. My clear opinion: Characters: Walter White is one of the greatest characters ever written. Its transformation is slow, believable and disturbing. Jesse brings the human and emotional side. History: It doesn't go fast or slow; It goes at exactly the right pace. Every decision has consequences. Moral: It makes you very powerful: you start supporting Walt and end up questioning everything. He does not glorify evil, he strips it naked. See more lovely A @username920 Jan 19 Breaking Bad is a great TV show, a testament to great writing and acting. For me, Season 3 is the best one out of the entire show. The season finale is the best thing I've ever seen! It's all true what they say, this show is a masterpiece! See more Ashton M. @ashton_moh05 Jan 8 I thought season 3 was just as good as season 2 - maybe a little bit better than the previous season. The start of it was good/decent but I would say when I got on to episode 6-13, that’s when the tension and excitement has picked up. See more Andy C @HaYouGay Jan 7 Breaking Bad has to be the most overrated show created. See more Read all reviews
