Amazon.co.uk Review

As Breaking Bad's first year concluded, chemistry teacher Walt (two-time Emmy-winner Bryan Cranston) and his meth-making partner, Jesse (Emmy-nominee Aaron Paul), hooked up with drug kingpin Tuco (Raymond Cruz), and the money started to roll in. They expected some degree of danger--but not a homicidal maniac. When DEA agent Hank (Dean Norris) starts to close in on Tuco, he kidnaps the duo, who eventually escape, but the experience creates a host of new complications, leaving Jesse temporarily homeless and driving a wedge between Walt and his pregnant wife, Skyler (Anna Gunn), and their 15-year-old son, Walt Jr. (R. J. Mitte). In his commentary, creator Vince Gilligan explains that the "chickens come home to roost" in season 2 as Walt's criminal activity catches up with him. In effect, he lives out the psychological version of The Fly, with his double life merging into one, such that he starts to become as ruthless as Tuco. Hank, meanwhile, gets a promotion that expands his jurisdiction to El Paso, while Skyler takes an accounting job that could cause her to "break bad" in season 3.

If this AMC hit lacked a sense of humor, it just might be too hard to take. Aside from Walt's incurable illness and Hank's post-traumatic stress disorder, there's a head crushing, a shooting, an explosion, and an overdose. Though Walt and Skyler get few humorous moments, Jesse, Hank, and ambulance-chasing attorney Saul (Mr. Show's Bob Odenkirk, an inspired addition) make the most of theirs. Jesse even gets a girlfriend (Krysten Ritter), who comes with a wary father (John de Lancie)--but there's still more shadow than light (not counting those panoramic desert shots). Strong stuff, but it's impossible to look away. Extensive extras include commentaries, deleted scenes, and featurettes on every episode. --Kathleen C. Fennessy

DVD Description

Walt (two-time Emmy® award winner Bryan Cranston) and Jesse (Aaron Paul) are in way over their heads in Breaking Bad: The Complete Second Season. As their partnership reaches new heights, Walt and Jesse begin to see the extremes of the drug trafficking business. Their trademark blue meth is making them rich, but it's getting more difficult than ever for Walt to conceal the truth from his wife Skyler (Anna Gunn), his son Walter Jr. (RJ Mitte), and his DEA agent brother-in-law Hank (Dean Norris). Walt struggles to maintain control of his life as he contends with vicious drug dealers, an increasingly distant wife and son, the impending birth of his daughter, and a strung-out business partner – all while battling terminal lung cancer. Breaking Bad: The Complete Second Season includes cinematography from Michael Slovis as well as Emmy® award-winning editing from Lynne Willingham, A.C.E. Executive Produced by Vince Gilligan and Mark Johnson.

    5.0 out of 5 stars TV at its best, 14 Jun 2010
    This review is from: Breaking Bad - Season 2 [DVD] [2010] (DVD)
    Dark, tragic and funny. There are not many programmes to match this program, it's far better than most movies let alone tv programmes. Some of the scenes, particularly in series 3 are outstanding and rank as ones that will stay memorable for some time.

    Series 2 portrays the further drawing of the principle characters into a dark, dark world and the moral and practical decisions they are forced to make in order to protect and grow their drug business (started with the best of intentions).

    This is a tv series that has yet to catch on mainstream but deserves all the success of The Sopranos, The Wire etc.

    Brilliantly cast, acted, written and filmed. Understated and always, always totally engaging.

    If you only watch one new series this year - this should be it. Can't recommend it enough.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Even more superb than the first series, 8 Aug 2010
    By 
    Pablo (Tafalla, Nafarroa) - See all my reviews
    This review is from: Breaking Bad - Season 2 [DVD] [2010] (DVD)
    If you thought the first series was good, fasten your seatbelts for this one as lung cancer victim Walt develops his alter-life as crystal meth manufacturer while keeping it secret from his ever-suspicious bourgeois wife and hilariously unsuspicious drug enforcement cop brother-in-law. Existing characters are developed, and fascinating new ones introduced. It's darkly funny, deeply ironic and occasionally tragic while simultaneously providing a manifold critical commentary of US/western society and values. Plus, in this series, the script contains a suspense component that makes the whole thing positively gripping. Nothing comes near this superb series in TV past or present. Don't miss it!

    5.0 out of 5 stars Break for the border, 24 Feb 2010

    simon gurney (london United Kingdom) - See all my reviews
    (HALL OF FAME REVIEWER)    (REAL NAME)   
    Breaking Bad series 2 is an outstanding tv show, and more than rewards the slow build in series 1, not only does this second series reach its potential, it is perhaps one of the best series around and leaves the viewer hungry for season 3.
    Bryan Cranston is superb as the high school teacher come drug kingpin and meth lab chemist Walter White, crossing the border between all american dad and underworld boss, he ventures more and more into his darkside, resulting in some of the tense kafka style dilemmas found in Dexter.
    The cast in series 2 expands to include some excellent new characters, while developing nicely the characters from the short first series.
    The series looks great, and continues to pull no punches when it comes to drugs and violence, and presents a less than glamorous reality of the addicts underworld, although the second series is somewhat less grisly than the first.
    The only slight complaint is that the seeds planted in the stylized intros leading to the series finale, is a bit of a cop out when it finally arrives, considering the quality of the writing and the slow burn tension through-out, the ending just seems to jar.
    Highly recommended to any fan of The Wire, Dexter, Oz and The Sopranos. Excellent.
