As we all wallow in the fallout of empty nothingness left us by the brilliant series finale to 'Breaking Bad', let's rejoice in the knowledge that Vince Gilligan and his excellent team of writer's succeeded in achieving the seemingly impossible. To write a TV series that managed to hold your attention for each and every episode, to suffer no 'lag', no 'duff' episodes. Then to build the tension season after season resulting in season 5 being a TV masterclass. Part spaghetti western, part black comedy, 'Breaking bad' had arguably the best lead actor in America, the remarkable Bryan Cranston, supported by the equally remarkable Aaron Paul. The superb scenery of New Mexico filmed so evocatively in HD widescreen was a joy, Albuquerque was a city not overused in the paradigm of American movie making, it's stark empty vistas were a welcome contrast to the freeways of LA or New york. So long 'Breaking Bad' you have changed our lives, you have changed televison drama as we know it..
