Granite State

This is, I think, my 6th review of a Breaking Bad episode. I have to say it is one of the most difficult tasks ever. There are so many thoughts racing through my head; theories, losses, intense moments. I try to keep it as vague as possible, but frankly I'm beginning to run out of ideas.

The sheer shock after every single episode of this brilliant series is close to unbearable. The shearing intensity that makes your heart race like crazy just gets me every time.

This show is not just a piece of entertainment, its a legacy, it teaches people, it educated us, but still at the same time entertains us to the point where it becomes the only thing we talk about.

I wish there was a higher rating than 10/10 for this episode, but there isn't so I guess its 100% from me.

That's all I really need to say. IMDb wants me to say more, so I will. Breaking Bad will end as one of the greatest if not the greatest show of all time. It is flawlessly written in a very poetic way that grips the audience. Every episode has its purpose in bringing to life a story that ravages the emotions of the audience. To'hajiilee added fear to my existence. Then Ozymandias ripped away my emotions. And now Granite State....Do I recommend this show? No, I don't recommend it, because that would be a disservice to the show. I tell people they should make watching this show part of their bucket list. It is something that any and every movie/show/TV watcher must see before they die.

One of my favorite "Breaking Bad" scenes occurs in the closing moments of "Granite State". Walter White sits there at the bar, weakened by chemo and utterly hopeless, witnesses his former business partners smearing his only remaining legacy on "Charlie Rose". It's bad enough he's stuck in the New Hampshire mountains, can't get his money to the people that need it, and the police are on their way to arrest him. But that one last blow to his ego is just the right spur to reignite his will. And you can just see the fires of an exploding sun behind Cranston's eyes, it's a hell of an image. And it does a fine job of teasing the final episode where who-the-hell-knows will happen.

If "Ozymandias" was about violently razing the Heisenberg empire, "Granite State" is about the very depths of that pit of despair; not felt just by Walt, but almost everyone around him. It's sad on a very different level.

9/10

I have nothing to add and no words to describe this greatness.

Just ,WOW!

This episode was insane, especially the ending. Its script is a real gold. The main theme of this series is played in just one scene in the whole 5 seasons, and that scene had to be one of the greatest moment of TV history, just as it is. I really don't know what to say about it, but I know that I can not forget this episode (and the last scene) for a long time. Breaking Bad should be teached at the movie schools. While most of the other shows gets worse, BB gets better with every new season until the very last second of the series.
