Contains the Episodes 9-16 of the fifth and final season of the blackly comic American drama starring Bryan Cranston as Walter White, a high school chemistry teacher turned crystal meth producer. Walter turned to drugs after being diagnosed with lung cancer, hoping to pay off his weighty medical bills and provide for his family in the event of his death. Unfortunately, becoming involved in the drugs industry brings with it numerous complications, and the power and wealth it generates may not be easy to give up. In this series, Walter's increasingly ruthless behaviour brings him perilously close to the clutches of his brother-in-law, DEA agent Hank Schrader (Dean Norris). The episodes are: 'Blood Money', 'Buried', 'Confessions', 'Rabid Dog', 'To'hajiilee', 'Ozymandias', 'Granite State' and 'Felina'.

The greatest TV series of all time ends with an almighty bang.
The misleadingly titled 'Final Season' is in fact, Season 5 Part 2 containing the 8 episodes shown in 2013.
From the opening scene of the pilot to the closing shot of the finale, I can honestly say no TV series has ever had such an effect on me as Breaking Bad.
These final 8 episode contains some of the best of the run, with scenes that made me feel sick with the tension and scenes that made me stay awake at night thinking about what I had just watched.
Each and every episode in this run is satisfying, with each feeling like a series finale. The quality and the pacing is THAT good. Now if I had to nitpick, its that the series peaks with the third last episode.
The masterclass that is Ozymandias - currently sitting at a rare perfect 10 on IMDB, this is the finest 50 minutes of television ever produced.
The next episode, Granite State, is one of the oddest in the show, bridging the gap before we finally catch up the the flash forwards.
The last episode of Breaking Bad, Felina, is excellent in almost everyway except for the fact that you can literally write a checklist of what will happen in it. The show cornered itself at the final hurdle and everything that happens is it can be called in advance. Its satisfying and as good as any series finale, but it suffers a *little* bit from being too well tied up in a neat little bow.
The DVD set contains 3 discs and has plenty of bonus features - commentaries on each episode, documentaries and the genius 'alternative' ending. The features total up to NINE hours.
An AMAZING show, so good that everybody I know is flat out sick of me mentioning it!

My son got me the boxed set (1-4)for Christmas. Started watching on Boxing day and after treating myself to the last two season 5 DVD's I finished the Breaking Bad story on New Years day !!!
Haven't binge-watched a tv series like this ever before - but the twists and turns of the plots had me hooked from beginning to end
Superb casting, scripts, settings, direction and production . Walter White's fascinating journey from " Mr Chips to Scarface " ( the creator Vince Gilligan's words not mine )and its effects on his family and Jesse made me watch 'just one more' episode after 'just one more' episode.
When I started watching Series 1 on Boxing day my son said he was 'so jealous' of me because he knew what was in store for me - after a very special spell of viewing I totally understand his feelings.
America has been producing high quality. gritty television shows of late - have enjoyed watching a lot of it - but this is my favourite offering - by a mile

Wow... just, wow
How do they do it? In the months leading up to Breaking Bad's much anticipated final season; cast member Dean Norris made a very bold claim, that these final eight episodes were the best of the entire series. Given how the previous season had set the bar so ridiculously high, I was inclined to treat those words with a pinch of salt. However, I'm happy to say, he was right, so very, very right indeed. So, just how good is this final season? Well put it this way, just about every previous season of Breaking Bad, even last year's one that I described as a watershed, seems like it was merely a faulty experiment by comparison. Even so all the previous seasons are still masterpieces, so now you know that with this final season we're dealing with something much, much more.
Picking up immediately where the last season left off, the final season's story revolves around a cat and mouse game between two of the main characters, with truly explosive consequences. And that's all I will say to avoid spoiling it. In terms of style this season could best be equated to a rocket car accelerating towards an explosives factory. The first half is the rocket car approaching the factory; the latter half is the almighty explosion and fallout
Several things make this season stand in a class of its own. Firstly, the absolutely peerless storytelling, you can always tell a great story from how well it ties into the earlier episodes. Based solely on that aspect, Breaking Bad is an absolutely gem. It's truly remarkable how every single character arc; every single plot point and major event comes together seamlessly. This is particularly evident on the episode To'hajiilee, almost as everything that has happened over the past six years was building to that final moment. Read more ›

Can easily stand comparison with The Sopranos.
Some of the nastiest and much loved characters in a series.
Great acting, wonderfully written.

When the ordinary guy in the street takes on the mafia, the authorities and his own criminal hierarchy, the outcome is somewhat inevitable. Nevertheless, the final series is still full of quark, strangeness and charm!

BREAKING BAD - GRIPPING VIEWING
The brilliant end to 5 Series of compulsory viewing. It took me two episodes of Series 1 to get into the action. After that, I couldn't get enough of it.
