Eric Deggans NPR 11/22/2019 The most finely crafted drama on television nailed the most spine-tingling series finale in modern TV. Go to Full Review Sean T. Collins Rolling Stone 10/18/2019 I can't shake the sense that "Felina" as a finale, and Breaking Bad as a whole, would have been more satisfying if it had been less satisfying. Go to Full Review Linda Holmes NPR 10/18/2019 I wouldn't have had the finale go this way, but I wasn't ever watching Breaking Bad to have it go the way I wanted... It's art. It's complicated. I didn't really like it, but I still loved it. Go to Full Review Cody Leach Cody Leach (YouTube) 08/19/2022 It's difficult to comprehend how expertly this show comes to a conclusion. Not a single character or plot line goes without a satisfying resolution as Breaking Bad leaves it's legacy as one of the rare series to execute a perfect ending. Go to Full Review Nathan Mattise Ars Technica 07/28/2021 What more can you say about Breaking Bad at this point? It delivered the most anti-anti hero of a Golden Age of TV riddled with such characters. Go to Full Review Randy Dankievitch Processed Media 02/19/2020 We all knew what was coming: it was just a matter of how we got there. In that, Breaking Bad nailed it, delivering a memorable final season and final episode that showed that people CAN change, even if it's too late. Go to Full Review Read all reviews
Dave T @RT30058216 Apr 25 a great ending to an amazing story. i feel this season really closes all the loose ties the previous season established, and it all ends in nicely wrapped present. it is one of the best season of television in history, everything is in high gear, well thought and every action has a following consequence that is immediate. See more HUMBERTO M @RT01637511 Apr 20 The final season of breaking bad is one of the best final seasons from any series that i have watched, it follows the path of Walter White (Bryan Cranston), and his transformation from a high school teacher to the best drug dealer there is, this season closes the series and you can see how every action done in the past seasons have an effect on the series finale, the acting is top tier since it makes you feel uneasy and nervous, the direction is also incredible since not many series are able to have a finale that almost everyone likes, this is honestly the best series i think i have currently seen, i would totaly recommend watching this if you are into crime and analysis of the current society, 10/10 See more Iñaki A @RT46050653 Apr 7 Last season, free fall. Shame... See more Anas A @RT18229048 Apr 7 One of the Best experience in the life, whole series was peak,acting emotions story everything peaked here🫶🏻 See more Andres C @RT06126378 Mar 23 A masterpiece, thrilling and you experience a rollercoaster of emotions. See more André Ferreira F @andre_f Mar 13 Perfeito! O facto de a temporada ser, talvez, a mais agressiva e cru de toda a série (basta ver o número de personagens que morrem) mostra que os criadores não tiveram medo de abraçar a realidade do crime. O "final perfeito do Walter" é tudo menos perfeito (e talvez por isso é que é tão satisfatório). É um final que dá uma resolução a todas as personagens que mereciam uma e que sofreram por trabalhar com o Walter (ou até mesmo por apenas conhecê-lo). A cena final é bela e vai de acordo com tudo o que a série nos mostrou: SPOILER!!!, o facto de o Walter não mudar (morrendo a olhar para o laboratório com um sorriso) mostra-nos que, mesmo na morte, o orgulho ainda é o que define Walter White e ele morre satisfeito com aquilo que fez. (avaliação: 10/10) See more Read all reviews
