More Show More Episodes Critic Reviews for Breaking Bad Season 2 All Critics (24) | Top Critics (16) | Fresh (24) | Rotten (0) This brilliant second season of "Breaking Bad" is starting to earn a place in any discussion of the classics of the genre. Feb 17, 2009 | Full Review… Alan Sepinwall Newark Star-Ledger Top Critic "Breaking Bad" works as an unabashedly bold story about a man in extremis, told with the iconographic and ironic sensibility of Quentin Tarantino. Feb 17, 2009 | Full Review… Matthew Gilbert Boston Globe Top Critic "Breaking Bad" unfolds like a modern Western with a dark, absurd view of the world. It echoes "No Country for Old Men," yet there are unexpected moments of tenderness and comedy. Feb 17, 2009 | Full Review… Hal Boedeker Orlando Sentinel Top Critic Bryan Cranston's Walter remains one of the best-played characters on television, and he's surrounded by a strong cast that, knowingly or unknowingly, plays off his desperation. Feb 17, 2009 | Full Review… David Hinckley New York Daily News Top Critic "Breaking Bad" is extraordinary, and if the rest of the season matches Sunday's premiere, an Emmy nomination for best drama seems certain. Feb 17, 2009 | Rating: A+ | Full Review… Verne Gay Newsday Top Critic Episode two better have won some kind of Golden Globe for "Best Use of a Bell as a Dramatic Device". Jan 15, 2019 | Full Review… Alex Casey The Spinoff Culminates in one of the most shocking, tragic moments in show history.... It's absolutely crushing. Nov 8, 2018 | Full Review… Michael Walsh Nerdist But, for me, the stuff that Breaking Bad does best - the claustrophobic two handers, the dark absurd humour, Walt's ability to rationalise his moral decline - season two has it in spades. Jun 11, 2018 | Full Review… Hannah Dunleavy Den of Geek Breaking Bad has been spinning these characters and stories like plates, and so far none of them have wobbled. Jan 15, 2014 | Rating: 8.7/10 | Full Review… Seth Amitin IGN Movies Season 2 keeps up the quality but eases on the pace. Oct 30, 2017 | Rating: 4/5 | Full Review… William Thomas Empire Magazine Top Critic View All Critic Reviews (24) Audience Reviews for Breaking Bad: Season 2 ½ Season 2 of Breaking Bad dives in deeper and presents a more suspenseful ride. Bryan Cranston and Aaron Paul's continuous majesty as Walter White and Jesse Pinkman creates for a compelling season. 4.5/5 EugeneB Super Reviewer ½ All the pieces were set on S02 for the nailbiting upcoming showdowns. This season moves slowly, but with intricate detail. All that happens has a consequence and our characters will know that the hard way. S02 is a bit more focused on family ties, with Walter slowly growing more worried with Jesse as if he was his own child, but still manipulating him for his own ends. Francisco G Super Reviewer RyanR Super Reviewer ½ Having it's ups and downs, season two of "Breaking Bad" is not quite a letdown, but more of a roller coaster ride of emotions. I felt myself loving some of the episodes, hating some of the episodes, and just not wanting to view the awkward ones. This is the one season in this series that teeters back and forth for me, because while he lies to his family, we can't help but side with them and have a very uncomfortable time watching. It can be a pretty uneasy viewing experience. Bryan Cranston however; improves on his performance from the first season if that even seems possible, making for one hell of a turn-around by the seasons finale. Not to say that it isn't, but the second season feels the least climatic of the bunch. The writing is still very solid, the acting stronger than ever, and the plot twists and eerieness are all still present. Overall, I had agreat time watching it, but I felt that this season needed a bit more flavour to go with the subject matter. It is still highly, highly recommended.
