The Best ‘Breaking Bad’ Episode Per Season

Brought to you by Breaking Bad.

It’s hard to believe it’s only been one year since the conclusion of “Breaking Bad,” one of the most critically acclaimed television shows ever produced. The story of Walter White, played by Emmy Award-winner Bryan Cranston, resonated with audiences all over the world, who were swept up as this seemingly good man turned to crime in order to provide for his family after being diagnosed with terminal cancer.

But what could have been high-concept lark, or a dreary tale of 21st Century tragedy, was bolstered by a complex and fraternal relationship between Walt and his young partner Jesse (Aaron Paul, also an Emmy-winner), and the increasingly suspenseful and ingenious ways they got themselves into and – mostly – out of life-threatening situations as they rose to the top of the world’s crystal meth rackets. Clever twists, emotional character arcs and most importantly personal triumphs transformed “Breaking Bad,” an already daring tale of moral dissolution, into a series with something everyone could latch onto, and even love.

New, limited Blu-ray and DVD editions of “Breaking Bad” – with bonus shirt transfers, just for the fun of it – are premiering in Australia on November 6, so we thought this would be a good time to look back on the best the series had to offer. We’re taking it season by season and singling out the best episodes per storyline. These are the shows that shocked us, thrilled us, and even made us weep. These are the best of the best.
