(tv series) Breaking Bad – the best series of all times?

It was a long time until I started watching Breaking Bad, but now that I finished it, besides Lost who is number one series to me, Breaking Bad holds firm second place. How you know that a series is great? When you finish the last season, last episode, you are left with feeling of sorrow and melancholy and realization that it is over. This five season series revolves around how simple chemistry teacher good guy, namely Walter White(played by phenomenal Bryan Cranston), became Heisenberg criminal mastermind and meth cooker par excellence who managed to balance between criminal empire of cartel, neo nazis, DEA and above all his own wife and son. Until the bittersweet end that is. What I love about this series is that there were no filler episodes, each and every one of the episodes are superb and interesting in its own way. Actors are superb, Cranston as White/Heisenberg, then Aaron Paul as his partner in crime Jesse Pinkman, Dean Norris as good yet sometimes annoying brother in law, DEA agent Hank Schrader, of course Bob Odenkirk as Saul Goodman and bad guys, especially brilliant Giancarlo Esposito as Gustavo Fring, kingpin of drug cartel who became one of my favorite actors playing bad guys from Mandalorian to Breaking Bad/Better Call Saul, Godfather of Harlem and more. When I finally watched this, all i can say to the creator of this series, Vince Gilligan is hats off, sir!
