Time and AP Have Kudos for Breaking Bad and Pilot Episode
The AP calls Breaking Bad a "nervy" drama in its list of the year's top shows. Time Magazine -- which ranks the show at No. 6 in its list of Top 10 TV Series -- says the drama affords Bryan Cranston the "opportunity to transform himself in a surprise-Emmy-winning role" as Walter White and "captures both the absurdity and the emotional reality" of White's situation.
Time also likes the drama's pilot, placing it at No. 5 on its list of Top 10 TV Episodes. It "played like a small film" and "had quite a big job: to set up a bleak premise... and a suspenseful storyline." Walter White -- "brilliantly captured by Cranston" -- is "a man who's dying even before his diagnosis... By pilot's end, his criminal turn has perversely revived him; he's seizing the day," the magazine remarks.
