Cancer Man

The fourth episode of Breaking Bad continues the strong, amazing power this awesome show has displayed. This show has been known to be the best show in recent times and I can see why. If the quality of these shows continue to hold, I could say this show may be the best of all time. The acting is strong as ever thanks to the duo of Bryan Cranston and Aaron Paul. The dialog is strong and witty as ever. And of course, Walt has his shining moment towards the end.

In this episode, "Cancer Man", Walt tells his the rest of his family about him having cancer and Jesse gets kicked out of his parent's house after they find his younger brother in possession of marijuana.

Overall, this is another fabulous episode. This keeps up the tension and I love how Walt is becoming a hardcore person in the drug business. I feel like there are bigger and better things to happen. This particular episode is slightly a step-down from the previous three, but that's because it's necessary for the story. But, I like this drama-filled, emotionally-driven episode. I rate this episode 9/10.

I like the bit where he blew up the bmw by shorting the battery

Ive watched the previous seasons but for me the series is now taking another level of greatness for me in this episode. I am now more interested than ive ever been to see what gonna happen next

Breaking Bad continues to surprise me after every episode, and this was no exception.

The episode explored the family life of Jesse, which in all was very heartbreaking to see how a family is destroyed because of a drug habit. Walter also confessed about his problem, and it ran emotions through the house. Like always, the show continues to be a drama but very well written humor put in, like the ending of the episode. This is a joy to watch, and along with that Aaron and Bryan give great performances that revolve the show and give it what is needed. I will diligently continue to watch.

Walter's medical condition comes to the forefront of the storytelling, but in a cleverly deceptive way.

There is a level of half-truth manipulation portrayed in Cancer Man that works incredibly well for the irony and humour of the plot. I love all the scenes of Walt's family interacting as they are made so cringingly funny by the viewer's knowledge of the full truth. Some scenes are also quite ominous, particularly the dialogue exchange with the oncologist and the sequence showing Walt's perspective is very well done.

Jesse's scenes include good backstory and depth to the character. You cannot help but like him for taking certain actions to protect a particular individual. Plus it makes his personal circumstances feel more interesting and surprising.

It gives a hint of all the irony to come in relation to the ignorance associated with the character Hank. You can see from this early episode the amusement that is to come.

Bryan Cranston and Aaron Paul are both on top form along with the supporting cast.

It includes more great cinematography, editing and visual storytelling. Jesse's paranoid moment is hilarious. Likewise Walt's guilt ridden angst shown in when barbecuing meat and his imagined police chase. You also have to admire the final few minutes.

For me its an 8.5/10, but I round upwards.
