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 Morbidly fascinating! Magat A Overrated. Questionable writing. Lucas K This season, in my opinion, feels rather anti-climax, especially an opening scene that isn't in accordance with my expectations. Not as I expect, it also seems to be a strong impact for the following season. But, Breaking Bad became an arena between the cartel, fighting over territoriality, blue meth, and family problems. A variety of close-up shot, the POV shot, and wide shot became its own trademark. Although it feels flat on the ending, Breaking Bad has slick actors and a high-curiosity at first. Salman F Marvelous storytelling. Saul, Jane, ABQ, Tuco, Gus, Mike... it all started in this season. Amar M The second season of Breaking Bad further develops its cast of exellent characters and subverts expectations in devastating ways. Parker F Behind great acting by Aaron Paul and Bryan Cranston, Breaking Bad keeps surprising the audience and keeps touching moral ambiguities successfully. This is where the series is really starting to get to it's biggest potential. Everything is so much developed and it's full of awesome things such as certain episodes, drama, acting, new characters and great twists. better than the first season in a lot of ways, this is definitely when the show got more real and a lot more dark Structurally perfect and compelling television.
