Episodes[edit]
The titles of the first, fourth, tenth, and thirteenth episodes form a sentence which reveals an event that takes place in the season finale (Seven Thirty-Seven Down Over ABQ). These episodes all include a mysterious opening teaser in black and white, featuring a scorched pink teddy bear floating in Walt's pool.[2]
Production[edit]
The writers of Breaking Bad planned the storyline for the entire season in advance of filming and knew how the season would end right from the beginning. That differed from subsequent seasons, in which the writers did not have a complete plan and developed the storyline as the episodes progressed. Series creator Vince Gilligan said of season two, 'That came about through many, many hours of beating our heads against the wall – very laborious work, which is probably why we haven't repeated that formula since.'[11]
Music[edit]
The original score for Breaking Bad was composed by Dave Porter. The show also uses music from other recording artists with music supervision by Thomas Golubić. Selected songs from Season 2 are featured on the Breaking Bad Soundtrack available through iTunes and Amazon.[12]
Home video releases[edit]
The second season was released on DVD in Region 1 and Blu-ray in Region A on March 16, 2010.[1] It was released on DVD in Region 2 on July 26, 2010[13] and in Region 4 on February 8, 2010.[14]
Reception[edit]Reviews[edit]
The second season of Breaking Bad received very positive reviews from critics, scoring 85 out of 100 on Metacritic.[15]Entertainment Weekly critic Ken Tucker stated 'Bad is a superlatively fresh metaphor for a middle-age crisis: It took cancer and lawbreaking to jolt Walt out of his suburban stupor, to experience life again—to take chances, risk danger, do things he didn't think himself capable of doing. None of this would work, of course, without Emmy winner Cranston's ferocious, funny selflessness as an actor. For all its bleakness and darkness, there's a glowing exhilaration about this series: It's a feel-good show about feeling really bad.'[16]San Francisco Chronicle's Tim Goodman claimed 'The first three episodes of Season 2 that AMC sent out continue that level of achievement with no evident missteps. In fact, it looks as if Gilligan's bold vision for Breaking Bad, now duly rewarded against all odds, has invigorated everyone involved in the project. You can sense its maturity and rising ambition in each episode.'[17] Horror novelist Stephen King lauded the series, comparing it to Twin Peaks and Blue Velvet.[18]Alan Sepinwall of The Star-Ledger praised the season, calling it 'brilliant'. He lauded the sound design as well as the cinematography, enjoying the 'emphasis of beautiful desert vistas and disturbing tableaux'. He also compared the series to The Sopranos, more specifically on the similarity of Walter White and Tony Soprano and their respective reactions to similar situations.[19] David Hinckley of the New York Daily News praised Cranston's performance of Walter White calling him 'one of the best played characters on television'.[20]
