The words “best TV show ever” have been thrown around a lot lately. It’s a lofty claim, as there have been hundreds of groundbreaking series that have changed the course of television forever, however, it does have some weight to it. When most people say that their favorite show is the “best TV show ever,” one may scoff and smirk as they turn away, knowing plain and simple that their own favorite show is the real “best TV show ever.” Although this time around things could be different.
“Breaking Bad” has returned to AMC for the most anticipated final season of all time. The first three episodes, technically episodes 9-11 of season 5, have validated the series as possibly the “best TV show ever.” The riveting drama and breathtaking twists and turns are enough to leave any innocent viewer dead and cold from a heart attack. It’s moving fast. It’s moving gracefully, and of course, Walt has proven once again to be one of the most compelling characters of all time.
Tensions between Walt, Hank and Skyler are growing, fast, and Dean Norris, who plays DEA Agent Hank Schrader, sat down with TVLine to talk about what’s on the horizon for the imploding family.
While Hank may know Walt’s terrible secret, he still has plenty of work cut out for him to put together a sound case. “We found that out in Season 3, he’s not the guy to cut corners, plant a gun or do this or that,” Norris said. “He wants to make the case the old-fashioned way and take him down, because that’s what he believes in. He believes in justice, he believes in right and wrong.”
And that’s what’s most difficult for Hank to cope with. Although he cares about his family and wants to proceed without hurting them, his desire to bring Walt down burns white hot. The conflict will grow more complicated as the season leads to the finale of all finales, one that Norris promises will leave us with a feeling of “‘satisfaction,’ because I think you are going to say, ‘OK, it ended properly.’ I don’t think you’re going to go, ‘Wait a minute, that was bulls***’ or ‘That was cheating.’ It comes to a proper ending.”
“Breaking Bad” airs Sunday nights on AMC.
