OK, whisper it who dare but just when everyone decides Breaking Bad is a masterpiece, MOL goes and spoils the party by saying the final series is not so scary or funny. The actors look like their decisions are being made not by the characters but by script committees, and the scripts are suffering from the same dilemma as a serious drugs problem, greedy for more. The rhythm isn’t as confident. The lead actor is a producer too, which may or may not be a good thing. Suddenly in one episode they became Jesse James and robbed a train; tense enough, but a filler episode on the verge of fantasy, until its twist in the tail. MoL has great tolerance for unsympathetic characters but Walt is in danger of outstaying his welcome, turning into a cartoon villain, heh heh, with the rest of the boys forced into mugging for camera while the beleaguered women crack up in ever more interesting ways. And can Walt’s DEA brother-in-law be quite so dumb when Walt is spending like a sailor? With Walt going on and on about family, Mol threatens to send in Channel 4’s Three Day Nanny who will sort them out, taking Walt’s chemistry set away and sending him to bed early. Even so, BB can still pull the rabbit out of the hat.
