SPOILERS FOR BREAKING BAD FOLLOW
Nothing else has made me curl up my toes and instill
a pit in my stomach in response to dread like Breaking Bad did. That show
constantly had me on the edge of my seat watching these characters spiral into
wholly new people over the course of multiple seasons. Unlike too many other
grisly TV shows (looking at you Ozark), everything on Breaking Bad had a
purpose, every action had a consequence, there were constant ripple effects
attached to everything. That's where so much of its suspense came from, the constantly
present notion that nothing in a single episode was going to waste. Breaking
Bad was all about every action has an equal or opposite reaction and that led
to a one-of-a-kind sense of unease that I got the privilege of experiencing
once again with El Camino: A Breaking Bad Movie.
