Blood Money is a brilliant follow up to the events of Gliding Over All with several classic Breaking Bad moments.

The opening pre-credit sequence is not just intriguing but also very funny. When I first saw it on its original release it kicked off the only major "binge watch" of a show I have ever done. It sets up the remaining episodes in a way that you have to know the final outcome as soon as possible. Rewatching it years later it does not quite have the same effect but it's still incredibly compelling.

I will not mention plot specifics but what stands out are the quality of several character exchanges. One involving Skyler at the car wash is excellent. Walt and Jesse likewise. However, nothing is quite as memorable as the final face off between two individuals.

All characters are presented wonderfully by the writers, filmmakers and actors. Jesse's struggles are brilliantly portrayed by Aaron Paul. It was a wise choice not to communicate this with him ranting and raving, but just behaviour and tortured body language.

Walt being depicted so much like Gus Fring works well in certain moments, but showing the classic Walt pride rise to the surface is character defining.

I will not say too much about Hank except that the scenes with this character are brilliant and so is Dean Norris.

Visually it is excellent as always.

Foreshadowings at the beginning of a new Breaking Bad season are something audiences of the show have got accustomed to by now, and "Blood Money" has one just as fantastic as the pink teddy moistening in the Whites' pool in season two or the, at this point in this series still unsolved, birthday party a hirsute Walt holds in a diner in season five's first half. The message the desolate house, now used as a skater park by some teenagers, conveys is unequivocal: things aren't going to stay nice after Walt's retirement from the drug business.

Of course, the charismatic criminal functioning as the protagonist of the series has already had his new adversary introduced – to be exact, since the pilot – and the forward-thinking Breaking Bad fans will have expected that a DEA agent in the family of a drug kingpin is sure to make for a little hiccup sooner and later. As we come close to the finale of the series, push comes to shove and some major domestic violence commences its first act in an extraordinarily tense confrontation, including what is possibly the best acting performance Dean Norris has given in his career up to that point. The decisive factor in this scene, however, is the phenomenal screenplay by Peter Gould, making the more or less mundane moments in "Blood Money" an intense experience as well. The series's customary comical relief comes through Jesse sparking some L in Saul Goodman's anteroom, Saul Goodman himself, and a desperate Lydia stopping by at the Whites' carwash to chat about meth distribution – you know, the usual topic in seller- costumer conversations at such places.

Nonetheless, "Blood Money" isn't a perfect episode, in my opinion, lacking tension and entertainment in the middle part and stretching its believability with the conclusion Walt comes to near the ending. In terms of score/soundtrack, cinematography, or set design, the episode doesn't accomplish anything noticeable either, thus I'll spare better ratings for some of the following episodes.

You might be wondering what the title of this review means but if i told you,that would actually spoil everything.Atlast after almost an year of waiting Breaking Bad returns with a reminder that it still is undoubtedly the king of television.Long awaited things have a way to disappoint its fans with not putting out the expected quality but Breaking Bad starts with an absolute BANG which tells the fans that the wait was worth it.This episode has every element that makes Breaking Bad the best;the acting,the direction,the dialogs and of course the end of the episode is mind blowing.The only thing which is not very good is Walt's future.I am not gonna go into much detail but i can say that Hank is finally out of the toilet and is not very happy..! Good Day !

Oh man, What a comeback! Breaking Bad is really flying sky high. Perhaps this episode was the most expected one and it certainly delivered. Superb performance by each and every actor. For an episode with so many powerful performances because of the likes of Dean Norris and Aaron Paul, Bryan Cranston continues to stun us with his histrionics.

A Powerful episode with performances that will stun you. You cannot miss this one.

Long Live Breaking Bad. I know for sure the finale will be absolutely unexpected.
