- August 6, 2013
Honest Trailers is back with another episode, and this time they're taking on the hit television drama, Breaking Bad.

Played by Bryan Cranston, Walter is a high school chemistry teacher who, after being diagnosed with cancer, turns to cooking crystal meth to make enough money to support his family. The Honest Trailers team notes that this premise is pretty far-fetched, but they go on to highlight the fantastic job Cranston does in portraying Walter's descent into darkness.
Of course, no discussion of Breaking Bad would be complete without mentioning Jesse Pinkman, Walter's former student turned partner in crime. Aaron Paul's performance as Jesse earned him widespread acclaim, and the Honest Trailers team notes that his character provides a lot of the show's humor and heart.
But it's not all glowing praise - Honest Trailers also points out some of the show's flaws, such as the sometimes slow-moving plot and some questionable character decisions. They also take the opportunity to poke fun at some of the more outlandish moments, such as the infamous "train heist" sequence.
Throughout the episode, the Honest Trailers team is clearly fans of the show, but they aren't afraid to be critical where it's warranted. They note that while Breaking Bad may not be perfect, it remains a classic of the television landscape and a must-watch for any true TV fan.
