Breaking Bad (Critique)
Critique of Breaking Bad. Only in America... would a man need to turn to crime to pay his medical bills.
I loved it. The characters are full and rich, and their arcs are compelling. The casting is perfect and the chemistry between the main characters is too; they play off each other perfectly. Hank is also a huge favourite.
Overall: a scathing indictment of the American healthcare system, but excellent.

Kill Bill - Volume 1 (Critique)
I hated it the first time. Over the top, silly, too long, too violent, too muddled. But now? Each scene - no, each frame - gorgeously stylised, terrific badass protagonist, perfectly chosen soundtrack (seriously, spot-on), exquisite casting.

Paddington II
Michael Bond has written a second children's book entitled 'More About Paddington'. In this edition to the series Paddington will learn about how to decorate, spot trouble while learning new skills and what Christmas is all about. Reading this novel from an adult perspective one would think more about just how to be a better person to all no matter how one is treated just how Paddington does with his neighbor at various times and whomever he meets out in the community on his daily jaunts out. To me Paddington Bear is a bear for all seasons of growing.

Can You Drive a Ford Fiesta Through a Desert?
I’m flying down the B1 highway from Windhoek to Keetmanshoop with a map and a boot full of camping gear. I’m excited for the first stop of my Namibian road trip: the Quiver Tree Forest. I spot the sign and turn onto the C17, off the tarmac and onto the gravel. I’ll be there soon; it’s only ten miles or so. I am unprepared for what comes next. The car slides and slips across the road. I am not fully in control anymore. I slow to a crawl. The car judders and shudders, the noise deafening, the vibrations rattling the teeth in my skull. It takes me around an hour to drive the ten miles. I arrive at the campsite relieved to be in one piece, even if it feels like all my bones have been shaken slightly out of place. I will later learn that this is what happens when the gravel road becomes “corrugated”, and that the roads authority goes round once a week to “grade” them. Seems I arrived about 6 days after the grader had last been round.

Brilliant show! Spot on review 💖
Oooo, it's an indictment. Makes me wanna watch this show!
Nice
Definitely a series that ran well and hit the plot just right!
I agree with everything, including the indictment of the American healthcare system. It was one of my favorite shows also because I binge-watched it with my son. The show runners and writers set such a high bar for twists and puzzles it was mind-boggling.
Great critique! Only ever seen some of it but liked what I saw. Bryan Cranston is one of my favourite actors. I would watch him in anything. Even Malcolm in the Middle!
it was never the show for me but I can certainly appreciate the sheer mind boggling amount of skill it took to create!
Breaking Bad is one of my all time favourites. Probably the best acting I've ever seen in a TV series. Phenomenal cast. Have you watched Better call Saul? Hank has a cameo!
Lol I just published my own critique on Breaking Bad a few hours ago! Great series! Great minds think alike 😉
Interesting. verrrrrrrry Interesting. I saw it as more of a "he became a bad guy because he was already a bad guy underneath it all." The cancer thing was the catalyst for sure, but he'd eventually have done something. Kinda similar I guess to Jekyll and Hyde. Also, I absolutely hated Hank and was kinda glad when he got killed. Sorry, not sorry. lol. I did like how succinct you got your point across with this critique!
