It is over-rated Some people say it is like the best show ever, and let's be honest it isn't.

That said it is a very well done mini series style of storytelling where the writers know how to tell a story in pieces and have the pieces develop and evolve over time. Because of this the viewer of the tv show feels the organic experience / pathos, of the characters. The audience who is viewing the show is not merely following along in the story, no they feel invested and engaged and this investment allows them to experience the drama.

Now you may be reading this and feel a contradiction for I am praising Breaking Bad yet at the same time say the show is over-rated. It is true the show is over-rated, but what it attempts to do it does well, but it is not as good as some people make it out to be. It is grand / talented storytelling, but the story is not the best ever, it is not some grand american novel put to the tv screen as some people have stated.
