The actor who played Bogdan was ironically the scientific consultant for the series.

KiWi about to make analysis of every episode like we were back in 2008,along with making theories and such, that's the dream.

I'm so glad you acknowledged the "IVE GOT THE TALKING PILLOW NOW!" hilarious scene.

It's crazy people always forget that before Walt killed anyone, he was ready to shoot at cops when the RV gets stuck. Really showed what kind of man he was on the inside even when he was still a "good man"

Man, if Season 1 is getting this large amount of detail, imagine how Season 5 will go.

"and the bags in the river" is such an underrated episode, it was the first episode that truly made me realise how good the show is and got me addicted

Grey Matter is actually one of my favorite episodes in the series. To me, it's the biggest opportunity he has to change course- either go back to working with the company he co-founded or continue his path to cooking meth (giving the title "Grey Matter" a double meaning, as it's a grey matter for him to deal with). His pride winning and overtaking the legal road says everything about who he is, as the show would've ended right then and there if he had taken the job back at the company he co-founded.

Every time I see Walt and Elliot talking I am screaming at him to please take the job and avoid a whole world of misery and pain for so many. One of the few shows that genuinely makes me want things to go differently. Pure drama gold.

The first time I ever watched through breaking bad I was in jail. AMC played a marathon leading up to the series finale, and I caught the marathon from the first episode onward. I wasn’t one of the “tv guys” in our pod but I got sucked in to the show, even tho I actively tried to ignore the show from across the room. But the pilot hooked me. I watched almost every episode (missed a couple here & there.) In hindsight, it was a memorable way to have first viewed the show. I felt like Walt Jr, actually. I was watching this dad character from across a room, couldn’t hear what was being said often, had to piece together plot points, and was way off because I had missed tons of details. (It was basically impossible to hear that 24” Tv, 15ft up high in a concrete room where everything echos.) I got out of jail a little while after and went back to rewatching BB, and Tv ain’t been the same since. BTW, thanks again for these videos! You’re doing a great job and you’ve earned the success you’re getting with the channel.

just wanted to say you've gotten insanely good at this over the years. smooth, articulate delivery with just enough tangents and tidbits to keep things fresh, while staying on course the whole way through. fantastic listen.

One point I’d like to make is that it’s not just random that Walt’s brother in law “just so happens” to be a DEA agent. Walt initially goes on a ride along with Hank to get him into the meth biz, so Hank is integral in the creation of Heisenberg. The two are inextricably linked. So their car and mouse relation doesn’t feel contrived or random.

Another thing you didn't mention in Gray Matter that I absolutely love is that it fully explains why Jesse says yes to them cooking as well rather than just brushing it off and just leaving the audience assuming that he says yes because Jesse asked him in the previous episode They show that 1) he needs the money and 2) he tried cooking with badger but the product wasn't good enough for Jesse He says yes to Walt because, as you said, he's been changed enough by the quality of the product to feel like he can now only cook if it is as good as Walt's, and he can only do that with Walt itself

Honestly Krazy 8 is one of my favourite minor characters. I was so happy to see him in Better Call Saul, especially when he started getting more screen time in the later seasons

The thing I will always love the most is no matter how sad and serious the show can get there are always hilarious little scenes that are way funnier than they should be. Like Jesse dropping Emilio down the stairs and just facepalming or Hank just devouring all the snacks when Skyler is talking her heart out while everyone is listening.

It’s a Leap, but maybe the scene in better call Saul where jimmy takes down mesa verde with the black mail telling them to take down their logos cause they didn’t own the rights to it. This would explain the altered “mesa” logo in breaking bad.

Damn Chase with another tier list worth almost 2 hours. Your work ethic is amazing keep it up!!

Fun facts when kiwi states that he doesn’t want this video to be 4 hours long at 19:19 that is foreshadowing for his later breaking bad videos

I also think that the fact that Walt gets into cooking because of Hank makes it much more believable

1:20:03 I feel like its actually the other way around, its BECAUSE he has a DEA brother-in-law that he entered the drug business in the first place

I really love the second episode of the show. It really shows how strong the chemistry is between Walter and Jesse, which is part of why they rewrote the show to keep Jesse alive in the first place

The scene of Walter burning the man's car could also be seen as Walter's petty way to show how he wants the power, power of choice, power of providing, but he don't have anything, while the man have have it, although it's petty it makes sense for Walter's character and helps as a setup for the scene where he denies the help from Eliot

Holy shit.. “Two nuts and a ballsack, my ass! Wait.. that didn’t sound right.” Lol.. that was your funniest line ever.

As a former user my skin crawled off my body when Jesse tossed all that meth out. I’d be searching the desert floor like a god damn archeologist.

Yessssss. I wanted you to do a breaking bad series recap so bad. Please do the other seasons too. Thank you for this!!

I've been working on Tamacun for months on guitar. Getting the rhythm right was frustrating for a while but it's a great song. I can't believe it's been 15 years since the pilot.

I first watched BB in like 2013-14, it was the first show i watched with full English sound and subs.I also started rewatching it a week ago so i can catch up on Gran Torino and BCS.I can't wait to hear more from you

Just saw this was uploaded as I finish the better call Saul season 6 recap for a second time. Thank you Kiwi 🙌🏻👏🏻

Cool to see you make a list for Breaking Bad Season 1. Keep up the great work man!

so glad i found your channel, can’t wait for season 2!

I just rewatched Breaking Bad with my wife this summer. Very excited for your tier lists!

So hype that the breaking bad tier list/retrospective is starting! Another great video

Great video, really enjoyed your retrospective on season 1 and agree with your rankings. How pleased was I to discover you’ve already uploaded the season 2 tier list 😄 Please continue to do the rest! Must take a while to make these but they are excellent, really.

1:26:24 It's also conviently located just around the corner. The perfect meet-up place.

Thank you so much for doing this. Funny enough I just finished watching your BCS tier lists recently and this put a huge smile on my face. Keep up the good work!

Honestly you make such a great point here 1:07:47 it never really occurred to me that Walt would be angry about this fact! But it makes so much sense for his character and I think a lot of people would be frustrated with it taking a death sentence to get back into the company

Thank you for highlighting Tamacun, def my favorite song from the season and have listened to it for years as a result :)

Goddamn I loved this video, can't wait for the rest of the seasons, hope this gets more recognition like it deserves!

_OH MY GOD IT’S HAPPENING!_ *EVERYBODY STAY CALM!*

just found your channel subed and came all the way back to the start amazing breakdowns

Glad to see you getting more sponsors!! Great videos as always, I can see the time you put into them and I always enjoy then

Amazing list man, I love it! Can’t wait for you to cover the next seasons!

YESS you listened to our requests of making tier lists for breaking bad !!

Yeeeesssss!!! Bless you, good sir! You sure know how brighten someone's week. Again, and as always, VERY much appreciate your time, effort, and work/passion that go into these. Thank you! 🙏

just found these videos. incredible work man! I’ll absolutely be tuning in for the run of this entires series!

At first I thought it was really slow, but on a rewatch I thoroughly enjoyed Season 1 more than I’d have expected. Its sad, but understandable, that its overshadowed by the later seasons.

1:31:10 Don't worry, you get your tipped over port-a-potty in season 2 lol

This is what ive been waiting for. Gonna be so nice to watch

We’ve been waiting for thisssss!! You delivered! Much respect! 🎉❤ here we go!

This was an amazing watch, thank you so much. Don’t think I’ve ever hit ‘subscribe’ for a channel so fast in my life!

Love your videos my guy! So excited for this one and the ones to come

Ayyyy I’ve been waiting for sum breaking bad retrospectives!!!

I wish there were videos like this with such detail about prison break. Still very good and your effort and time taken to produce this video is appreciated.

YESSSS!!! HE FINALLY DID IT BOYS! Appreciate the work you put in!!!! Can't wait for the rest of the series tier list!

Dexter and breaking bad are some of the few shows that were able to actually create a personal connection between the cops hunting our protag killer

You are the best dude. Keep doing what you are doing. It's perfect. Thanks for all your time.

dude keep up the good work I've been watching all of your videos

I'm very upset you didn't mention Out Of Time Man by Mick Harvey for songs from the pilot

You should definitely do one of these on season 2!

Love the recap. Can’t wait for your seasons 2-5 tier lists! Will you be splitting 5 in two or just one big video?

This did put a smile on my face. Thank you

It's weird to hear you talk about breaking bad episodes as I'm so used to you talking better call Saul. However great video! Can't wait for more seasons.

I love the videos man. Keep up the good work!

Awesome. Your breakdowns are great

This season is mad underrated it was so good and pretty chill but also so Much detaljer to think about

i’m re-watching breaking bad rn because i just watched the directors commentary so i can’t wait to go through this series

oh boy this is going to be a joyous ride. Eager and Excited to watch 😁💃 Thank you Vivid 🥝

hope your gonna do the rest of the seasons was bummed when i finished this one and that was all ugh

1:01:40 the flask jesse holds is different from what walter is holding, so yes he learned everything because jesse was actually holding an erlenmeyer flask and not a volumetric flask

Love these retrospectives KiWi I’ve watched a lot of breakdowns & recaps on BB & BCS but yours are the most well done & in depth I’ve seen Keep up good work man, we appreciate it🙏🏽

You have great talent Kiwi I love your videos

methylamine methylamine methylamine hahaha. Thanks so much for this Kiwi! Me and the old lady are going through a BB rewatch, and I paced through your video for season 1

I need the season 2 tier list ASAP! Great video man.

Dude why don't you have more subscribers? Been watching your content since last year as BCS was airing, keep it up

looking forward to all the mega quality content coming!!!!!!!!!

Great job!

The reason Hank’s role doesn’t feel contrived is that Walt would never have been exposed to Jesse or notice the potential money in cooking meth if not for Hank being a DEA agent to begin with. There was no coincidence, it’s causal.

27:50 it took me until now to really realize the gravity of that moment. That's somber

Love your opinions on the breaking bad verse it's literally my opinions, you love most of it

i'm so happy wiht this video! Thank you!!!

1977 by Ana Tijoux, sometime around the "you are not the guy" riding around with Mike sequence.

Season 4 is my favorite. Between 4 and 5 - the Gus stuff was just so iconic. I can’t wait for the next video lol

Can’t tell you how happy I am to hear Kiwi again bringing us all back to one of our favorite worlds❤️💫🌹

Great video thank you!

I assume and hope you do all the seasons lke you did for BCS. Your videos are cool.

Please do a video on 101!!! I'd love to know your in depth analysis and opinion!

Yah been looking forward to this thanks kiwi, I’ve started watching the sopranos, would be interested to know your thoughts if you’ve seen it

Really excited to not go to sleep tonight so I can watch this video. Literal peak content right here.

i forgot how short season 1 was lol, i wonder how different bb would have been if it was as long as other seasons.

1:26:49 for this reason I never got why the 2nd deal for 4 pounds also went down at the junkyard

Awesome recap!! 15 years later, definitely need more BrBa!!!!

I can't believe they've made a show about those two strangers that appeared in an episode of Better call Saul. Unbravo Vince

Great video

if you finish ur tierlist series on breaking bad, you could do something on el cameo or sopranos

what if nacho and jesse switched shows. Jesse as nacho in better call saul and nacho in breaking bad

This might be the best recap ever and i've watched the show three or four times.

Great video 👍

YOU ARE THE KING

Kiwi can't keep getting away with this.

Finally someone agrees that Grey Matter is one of the best s1 eps, so underrated
