The advent of TV Cable has led to charges, in the States, a gradual increase in the quality of television. HBO has become a tradition in this broad sense with some of the most interesting in recent years ( The Sopranos, Six Feet Under, Oz etc.), But AMC has for years started a run to its direct competitor with titles such as Mad Med and, indeed, Breaking Bad . In short, the story is that of Walter White (Bryan Cranston ), a quiet professor of chemistry at New Mexico, married, with a disabled teenage son and a daughter coming. In the midst of this frustrating and ordinary life, Walter discovers she has cancer lung and a few months of life. So what to do to ensure a peaceful future for his family? Simple to use his brilliant qualities as a chemist to cook methamphetamine. To begin the quiet Walter ask help from his former student Jesse Pinkman ( Aaron Paul), now a small drug dealer.
A plot like this could have been quickly degenerate into soap opera-style or a completely divorced from reality, rapidly losing interest. Instead, the show created by Vince Gilligan ( X-Files ) soon moved the interest from the development of the plot than the characters. In fact, many of the episodes have little or no action while the dialogue (or silence) are amplified to the maximum. We follow Walter in what could be called down to hell her life or freedom from trivial, as Walter proves to be a genius who was forced by life to be content with a job as the high school teacher who turns out to be unprofitable and, above all, arid gratification. In his criminal activity Walter reveals his true nature in a job that finally puts to good use his abilities. Never mind that in this transformation Walter also becomes a murderess.
Breaking Bad has its strength in being able to engage the viewer while doing nothing to create empathy for the protagonists. Of course, initially side with Walter, who is overwhelmed by life, but the ease with which you can pull the trigger to get rid of a problem or the way he is able to keep up with the big drug dealers makes us see in a different light. The third season ended with a cliffhanger that still puts not just highlight the ruthless character of Walter, and thus the fourth season promises to be exciting, if possible more of the above. Walter cancer is still in remission and has been for greater chance of developing the storyline ......
to underline how the series will face praise for the staging and photography, but distant from the flatness of television, indeed, very close to the cinema - If not higher.
A comparison with our domestic productions is unthinkable but Breaking Bad is high even by U.S. standards (including the costs ). We look forward to the fourth season of waiting for next summer.
