    When I watched Breaking Bad, I was mesmerized by Walt’s descent from a man who just wanted to help his family into the monster he became.

    When I watched it the second time, I realized there was no descent. The monster was there from the first frame, but I had been used to seeing the main character as essentially good.

    Brian Cranston’s performance gets praised all day every day online, and against all odds it lives up to the hype.
