The show I will be
reviewing is Breaking Bad. The release year was 2008 and the creator is Vince
Gilligan. The main actors are Walter White (Bryan Cranston), Skyler White (Anna
Gunn), Jesse Pinkman (Aaron Paul), Hank Schrader (Dean Norris), Marie Schrader
(Betsy Brandt) and Walter White Jr. (Rj Mitte). Today I will be reviewing
episode 9 from season 2. In this episode Walter and Jesse go out to the middle
of no where to cook up more meth and they succeeded of the making, but when
they try to leave they come to find out that the battery of their RV had died.
So, they try to jump the battery with the generator but then that catches on
fire and they don’t have a way to get the RV started. Until finally they get
the idea to make a battery out of coins and copper wires. Once they got it to
work they left back home and Walter comes to find out that his cancer tumor has
decrease, and he is in remission.

Being from Albuquerque and growing up here I personally don't think that the way Albuquerque is being shown in Breaking Bad is the correct way of portraying it. In the show, the director makes it seem like Albuquerque is ghetto and a bad city but honestly it's not. Yeah it has its bad parts but what city doesn't? Albuquerque has a lot of beautiful places and has a lot of art around the city. In Breaking Bad, they filmed mostly in the parts where it looks ghetto maybe to get the vibe going for the show but I think that they should of shown some of the amazing places like Old Town or Downtown. I do kind of find it disrespectful just because I know our city isn't like that.
The directing kind of was
fast and slow. In some of the scenes it went by really fast that I had to
rewind it a little because I didn’t catch the whole thing. And in other scenes,
it went slow and it kind of got boring, it lost my attention. Some of the
transitions were great and other were sloppy. For example, the transition in
the beginning of the episode was sloppy because it started off at with Walter
and his family in the hospital getting a CT scan and then it switched to him
and Jesse leaving to go cook the meth. But the transitions between the scenes where
they were cooking were great because it wasn’t all over the place.
