The series finale, written and directed by showrunner/creator Vince Gilligan, had the dubious task of tying up loose ends and providing a satisficing valediction to the world of television. And he had 75 minutes to accomplish this. He succeeded.
Breaking Bad is the story of a high school chemistry teacher. The teacher discovers he has lung cancer, so he decides to use his knowledge of chemistry and science to make methamphetamine to secure his family's finance. Only a strange thing happens along the way. He discovers he's very good at it. And that he enjoys it. But the cost to achieve success in this underworld is steep, and the price demands a complete transformation. In order to transform from Walter White, teacher-husband-father, to Heisenberg, drug lord-liar-murderer, he must shelve his moral compass. No half-measures allowed.
