Cat's in the Bag... (#1.2)

[ComedyFan2010 · 9/10 · 24 December 2013]

And the story moves on! Not in the same fast pace as it started, but this is good since we get to learn more about characters.

It turns out that one of the two guys, Krazy 8, didn't die from the gas. So they put him in Jesse's basement and think what to do about it. This ends up being Walt's job while Jesse has to dissolve Emilio's body.

I absolutely loved the dialogue. Jesse is a very funny character. Him looking for plastic containers and climbing into them to see if a body would fit in was a great comic relief.

The interaction of Skylar and Jesse was pretty good as well. I liked both when she first heard his answering machine, as well as when she came to threaten him with her brother in law cop.

This episode really ended with a huge BANG,now lets see what the next one will bring. The main question I have now is what will happen to Krazy 8?

Amazing!

[g-bodyl · 9/10 · 12 August 2013]

I must say that this second episode of Breaking Bad lives up to the expectations the first one set. Everything is almost perfect especially the acting, the writing, and even the subtle things such as the facial expressions and the action. Intentionally or not, I was happy there were a few moments when I got to chuckle. This episode may not have as good as a story of the pilot, but nonetheless it was executed just as sharp.

This episode, "Cat's in the Bag" is about how Walt and Jesse decide to get rid of the body of the dealer they killed. Meanwhile, Walt's wife is snooping around trying to find the source of Walt's bizarre behavior.

Overall, this is a tight, well-made episode of a great series. It has a heightened sense of drama despite a tad weaker story. I rate this episode 9/10.

Awesomeness Continues!

[gab-14712 · 9/10 · 6 August 2015]

After the fast-paced awesomeness of the pilot episode, I am sure everyone thought they would be in for a disappointment the second time around. I mean, even the simple plot synopsis would call for a big step back. Who would ever think of a simple plot involving a suspicious wife and Walt trying to solve his issues would be better than the pilot episode? Well, guess again folks. The awesome ride continues with this episode for a variety of reasons. The acting remains on point (more of that later), the screenplay is tight and offers some wonderful dialogue, and once again, the show offers educational value. With this episode, you'll learn why it's a good idea to put hydrochloric acid in plastic, and no other material. Once again, the show is dark, but humorous, and is incredibly entertaining to watch.

So in this episode, "The Cat's In the Bag," Walt and Jesse manage to get their RV out of the ditch in the desert, but they have another problem on their hands. The bodies of the distributors in the back of the RV. They find out that one of them, Crazy-8, is still alive. After a coin flip, Walt and Jesse decide on jobs how to take care of this problem. Walt is tasked with killing Crazy-8 and Jesse is supposed to dispose of the other dead body. Meanwhile, Skylar becomes very suspicious of Walt's activities. She decides to snoop around to find out what exactly is Walt is up to.

This episode shows that the show is not a one-episode wonder and it shall stay for another four seasons after this season. A big reason is the acting involved. Bryan Cranston is handling himself to drama quite well. He also manages to be snarky sometimes too. Aaron Paul is excellent and the amount of ignorance he puts in Jesse is just great. He and his hydrochloric acid experiment is one to behold. However, I think Anna Gunn delivers the episode finest moments. My favorite scene is when she encounters Jesse, as he is trying to dispose of the dead body. The way she yelled at Jesse for selling pot to Walt was excellent. For those wondering, pot was an alibi that Walt came up with to explain his disappearances.

Overall, we got ourselves another great episode, on par with the excellent pilot. If you think this will be boring, you are in for a ride. Just watching Walt and Jesse execute their plans is worth watching. Once again, I loved the educational value the show offers. For someone not particularly great at chemistry, I learned some new things. And the key thing is never to dispose of bodies in a bathtub with hydrochloric acid, unless you want to burn a hole through your ceiling, thus spreading body parts and blood all over the house. Yes, that is how fun this episode is to watch.

My Grade: A-

A Corpse, a Crook, and Other Problems That Come from Cooking Crystal

[stillworkingfortheknife · 5 October 2013]

The situation has been established, the characters have been introduced. Breaking Bad's second episode has our two drug chefs dealing with their separate tasks that revolve around getting rid of the two men the former attempted to kill in the last episode – an endeavor only semi- successful. In the meantime, Skylar is getting suspicious of what is going on with her husband Walt lately and gets acquainted with Jesse, his partner in crime.

After the splendid pilot, things calm down a bit in "Cat's in the Bag…", whose title is, in fact, only a metaphor – Breaking Bad does not star cats. Anyway, Walt and Jesse still are in a perilous position since everything got a little out of hand for them recently. This makes for lots of great dialog especially on Jesse's site and also for very nice character development as we get to know the characters and their relationships to each other better. Interestingly, the most awkward relationship in this episode isn't Walt-Jesse, but rather Walt-Skylar, as they at first start the episode with rough sex, then continue with Walt spending the night on the bathroom floor, then have an awkward breakfast talk about breasts and Wonderbras in front of their son, and then conclude with Walt telling his wife to get off his backside (quotation not verbatim). Those were all nice scenes, but the episode only got really great when Aaron Paul appeared on screen (luckily, that was very often). This man delivered Jesse's lines so perfectly that you can consider him a cult character just after seeing the first two episodes. His conversations with Walt also gave us first impressions of "Heisenbergness" – if you haven't yet seen further episodes of the show, you'll understand this by the end of the first season.

Furthermore, "Cat's in the Bag…" again featured unconventional yet fantastic soundtrack choices and wonderful cinematography and editing, especially when our main characters (yes indeed, plural) are taking drugs. Therefore, this episode manages to be really great even though big plot revelations or surprises are missing and I'd say I like it just as much as the pilot. It may not be as thrilling as that was, but it instead brings the dialogs into focus, which are, thanks to Vince Gilligan's talent for screen writing, really hilarious.

Dealing with the bodies

[Tweekums · 10/10 · 29 September 2012]

This episode begins more or less where the pilot left off; Walt and Jesse have managed to find somebody to haul their RV back onto the track now they must consider their next problem: what will they do with Krazy-8 and Emilio? Initially they just leave them in the RV outside Jesse's house then the next morning Walt gets a phone call in the middle of breakfast; it turns out Krazy-8 wasn't quite as dead as they had thought! Walt rushes round and finds him staggering down the street but manages to catch him and take him back to Jesse's. After a coin toss to decide who gets which job Jesse sets about getting rid of Emilio's body while Walt tries and fails to pluck up the courage to do his task... kill Krazy-8. There are of course further problems; Walt's wife learns who he was talking to on the phone and later confronts Jesse and Jesse ignores Walt's instructions and tries to dissolve Emilio in his bath... with fairly grizzly results.

This was a great second episode; the forty five minutes just flew by! Having set up the story in the pilot this episode concentrated on developing the relationship between Walt and Jesse; Bryan Cranston and Aaron Paul are great in these roles and work really well together. The episode had moments of tension and a surprising number of laugh out loud, darkly comic moments such as when the fleeing Krazy-8 runs into a tree and when the acid Jesse poured over Emilio burns through the bath and the floor dumping the gruesome remains on the hallway floor! As the episode concludes there are still questions to make the viewer keen to see what happens next; most obviously what will they end up doing with Krazy-8 and will anything come of the children finding the gas mask in the desert?

I like the bit where they tried to melt the bloke in the bath

Getting better already

[Leofwine_draca · 9/10 · 2 December 2020]

The second episode builds nicely on the first by involving the characters more and more in their dilemma. What I particularly liked about it are the human reactions to what's going on; no JOHN WICK style faceless killing here, rather a very real and considered response to an impossible situation, with all the frailty and weakness that we as mankind face on a daily basis. It has depth, quality acting, lots of suspense and a wonderfully sick joke at the climax which I didn't see coming.

Sizzling and steady continuation.

[emrmemememe · 8/10 · 4 December 2022]

Another really good episode that keeps the momentum of the first episode going!

This episode was filled with a lot of tension especially between Walter and Skyler the latter beginning to notice Walter acting strangely and being all around just shady. Skyler snooping around really made me scared she'd find out about the operation of Walter and Jesse despite it being the second episode and me barely knowing the characters.

This episode also focused more heavily on Walter and Jesse's dynamic which I find very interesting and real. On the note of being real the acting and script do a very good job at making it feel like you're watching actual conversations and events occur rather than a story put on a screen.

I really liked the unique way the writers chose to take with getting rid of the bodies, and I am happy that Jesse met consequences for not listening to Walter.

Overall I am continually seeing things that warrant the hype of this show and if things keep going the way they are I hope to be able to fully join the hype train as well! Another solid 8/10!

Walt and Jesse begin to tie up loose ends in an episode that's just as strong as the pilot

[RicinBeans94 · 9/10 · 21 September 2013]

"I'm sorry, what were you asking me? Oh, yes, that stupid plastic container I asked you to buy. You see, hydrofluoric acid won't eat through plastic; it will however dissolve metal, rock, glass, ceramic. So there's that."

There's always a worry after a great pilot episode that the show will just go rapidly downhill. I won't name and shame any particular examples here, but I'm sure we can all think of some. The second episode of Breaking Bad, 'Cat's in the Bag...', is less eventful than the pilot, but it's equally as thrilling.

The assumption, before watching the episode, is that it would involve Walt and Jesse getting rid of the bodies of Emilio and Krazy-8, the two dealers in the back of the RV. However, the episode opens with the reveal that Krazy-8 is still alive, meaning that there's a very different job that needs doing. It was one thing for Walt to think on his feet in the RV and save Jesse and himself by killing the two guys. For him to now go down to the basement of Jesse's house and murder Krazy-8 in cold blood is a very different kettle of fish, which will make the next episode intriguing. Walt will want to let him go more than anything, but knowing he'd put his family at risk, is that really an option?

Speaking of which, Walt and Skyler's relationship is put under strain for the first time (that we've seen) and it's clear that Walt is going to have to make sacrifices if he wants to get the money he needs to provide for his family when he's gone. The lie to the man who helps them with the RV in the desert is ridiculously obvious, topped only by the phone call with Jesse in the kitchen that Walt can't possibly believe is fooling anyone.

Dark humour really sums up this episode, particularly the unforgettable scene at the end. Walt talking to Skyler and Walter Jr. about cleavage at the breakfast table is among the lighter moments, along with Jesse's reaction to Walt smoking weed, which changes abruptly when he realises it's his weed. It's extremely impressive that this show can be so funny, without taking away from the seriousness of what is actually happening. Bryan Cranston and Aaron Paul will surely have everyone convinced by now that they are perfect for their respective roles.

Walt's lie about Jesse selling him marijuana is clever, as it's shocking enough to make Skyler believe it, but nowhere near the appalling truth. Telling his pregnant wife to 'climb down out of my ass' is one of the more surprising (but still hilarious) moments in this episode. It's also interesting that Skyler meets Jesse for the first time here, as that could have been saved for much further down the line.

Jesse has some great lines too, namely responding to Walt's question about Krazy-8's reputation for violence with "Well, um... he did try to kill us both yesterday, so there's that." (with Walt mimicking 'so there's that' in his brilliant line at the end of the episode) and "Ah, like I came to you, begging to cook meth. Oh, hey, nerdiest old dude I know, you wanna come cook crystal? Please. I'd ask my diaper-wearing granny, but her wheelchair wouldn't fit in the RV.", which is definitely one of Jesse's finest rants.

The pilot was so good that, even if this episode had been poor, I would have carried on watching the show a while longer. As it turns out, 'Cat's in the Bag...' was another terrific hour of television.

9.2/10

One of the very best Breaking Bad episode !

[nicofreezer · 10/10 · 28 July 2021]

Ever ! A true Classic episode with so Many Legendary scenes. I love this moment when walk and Jessy are in jessy house and just freaking out ! I believe Season 1 is the very best, or at least very different than the others ( masterpiece seasons) 10/10 for the second time in a Row , no doubt.

Keeping you hooked

[andrewkempf · 8/10 · 31 March 2017]

This show has a lot of messed up situations going on, but in a good way. With Walter's wife finding out about Pinkman, that leads us to believe that she's getting closer to finding out what's really going on with Walter. The show is showing a great sense of flow, with a solid plot. It'll be interesting to see the show continue to develop, and how the relationship between Walter and Jesse develops.

What a Mess!

[Hitchcoc · 9/10 · 10 October 2015]

Since we are dealing with black humor, anything goes. We have our pair having to dispose of two bodies. Unfortunately only one of them is dead which complicates things. Mr. White decides that they would best use hydrofluoric acid, which dissolves just about anything, to do just that. Because his meth producing compadre doesn't listen to him (even though he really knows his stuff) things go really bad. White is now staying away evenings and his wife is extremely suspicious. Of course, he has a terminal diagnosis and wants to not bankrupt his family. But now he is in so deep. How can he sustain his deception. There is a hilarious scene where Mrs. White confronts Jesse about selling her husband marijuana, interrupting him as he moves a body from their RV into the house. We need to ask the question as to what they are going to do with the guy in the basement.

What to Do?

[claudio_carvalho · 7/10 · 23 January 2015]

Walter and Pinkman have a big problem with the corpses of Krazy-8 and his cousin Emilio. Walter plans to dispose them using acid to get rid of the bodies. But the problem increases when Krazy-8 awakes dazed and confused and flees from Pinkman's house. Meanwhile Skyler finds Walter's attitude strange and snoops his notebook, finding Pinkman's address. She presses Walter and he says that he buys marijuana with Pinkman. Skyler goes to his house when he is transporting Emilio's body from the RV to his house. She threatens Pinkman if he continues to sell marijuana to her husband. Walter returns to Pinkman's house with Krazy-8 but he does not have enough courage to execute him. Meanwhile Pinkman does not follow Walter's instructions to use acid in a plastic container and has a huge surprise at home.

"Cat's in the Bag..." is a funny episode of "Breaking Bad" with black humor to the best. Unfortunately the show has only given glances of Walter's previous life without developing well his behavior at home and at school, and the supporting characters. But anyway it is not difficult to see the changes in his behavior and understand the concerns of Skyler. Not there is a question: what to do with Krazy-8? My vote is seven.

Title (Brazil): "Cat's in the Bag..."

Note: On 12 April 2015, I saw this episode again.

The first season is the weakest

[silverton-37959 · 4/10 · 21 October 2020]

When BB debuted on TV, I had recorded the first two episodes. Based on watching those, I decided not to bother with the series. The jumps back and forth between silly, attempted humor and seriousness put me off. I stopped watching during the acid bath segments of the 2nd episode, and didn't revisit the series until about 2015 when it was all available n DVD.

The entire 1st season is still missable for me. I reviewed it and found that most of the scenes were devoted to slow, boring family discussions, and the rest of them are riddled with implausible ideas. This episode was not even watchable by my standards.

When the 1st season is viewed and forgotten, the rest is OK. Still, all of the dvds are poorly mastered and have no subtitles. The first few seasons don't even have English subtitles and on the later ones that claim to have them, none of the subtitles work.

I prefer Better Call Saul, because the backstory is produced, acted and directed better and I don't have to suffer through Bryan Cranston's open mouth and slack jawed facial expressions in every scene he's in. Why so many people rave over his acting is a mystery to me.

Just as amazing as the Pilot

[Red_Identity · 9 December 2010]

I am a huge fan of AMC. I consider Mad Men to be the best show airing on TV, and The Walking Dead and Rubicon from this year were also very impressive. I decided to catch a glimpse of the Pilot for Breaking Bad, since it is so far the only show I had never watched.

The Pilot was an amazing hour of television. It had subtle and effective writing, introduced characters, and had an amazing performance by Bryan Cranston. I know he has won the Emmy three times in a row, so I was glad I was able finally able to watch him in this show. Absolutely amazing! His facial expressions, the change in his actions and character throughout the Pilot was perfectly portrayed. He has created an absolutely interesting and emerging character, and whenever he on screen one is determined not to look away.

Seeing as how this was the first episode, I cannot start raving about the entire show, but the Pilot and the second episode were both amazing, and dare I say it, perhaps had the strongest Pilot from any AMC show.

Part II

[Trey_Trebuchet · 9/10 · 14 January 2023]

So this was quite good, but I'm a little surprised it didn't air the week as the pilot episode. It feels a lot like a Part II of that one.

That's not to say it isn't good though. It did seem to further develop the show's tone. I didn't go in to this show expecting any comedy, but it's here and it's pretty dark, so I'm not complaining. Aaron Paul is a dang good actor and I'm excited to see what he does with this character. Cranston is so far as solid as I've heard he would be. All of the acting is honestly.

The coin toss sort of came off as hilarious to me, but the look Walt and Jesse give each other, and the conversation that followed, felt pretty serious and surprised me. This was quite entertaining.

Funny following episode

[bellino-angelo2014 · 9/10 · 10 November 2023]

The pilot for BREAKING BAD was great and it made me want to see more so I went forward. And this second episode was nearly on par with the previous.

After the events of the pilot Walter White and Jesse Pinkman (Bryan Cranston and Aaron Paul) get help from an Indian for putting their RV on the road and while Emilio is dead Krazy-8 is still alive tho with breathing difficulties. After school Walter goes to Jesse's, they tie Krazy-8 to a pole in the basement and they'll separate: Walt has to kill Krazy-8 while Jesse has to dissolve of Emilio's body with hydrofluoric acid. Walt goes with Skylar to the gynecologist and they'll find out that she is waiting a little girl: during a pause Skylar asks Walt about Jesse and Walt has to spill the beans, soon Skylar will go to Jesse telling him to stay away from Walt menacing of calling Hank for arresting him. Later Walt returns to Jesse reassuring him and just as they go in the hallway... the bathroom floor crumbles with pieces of bathtub and of Emilio's decaying body! You see, Walt recommended Jesse to buy a plastic container because it doesn't melt with acid but since Jesse couldn't find a proper one he had the genius idea of dissolving Emilio's body in his own bathtub.

It was a great second episode with some serious moments and some funny ones (like the aforementioned bathtub one) and needless to say, the acting was great and the writing clever. Another winner.

What an ending!

[connorae-08702 · 8/10 · 19 April 2023]

This episode was a good episode. The first was quite fast paced. But this one was a bit slower, which was okay, because it really introduced you to Walt and Jesse more. The ending scene left me gasping at my screen and almost vomiting. It just shows you how you need to listen to instructions. Some of the humour in this episode is very good as well. Mainly from Jesse. Jesse really improved this episode. It really showed what kind of a person he is. A laid back, shady teenager, but with a heart. Bryan's Cranston's acting really is on top in the first two episodes. Skyler's suspicions are very hard to watch, because it's hard for Walter to lie every time, and it just makes you feel bad for Skyler. A good episode overall.

Corpses and prisoners

[TheLittleSongbird · 9/10 · 27 May 2018]

'Breaking Bad' is one of the most popular rated shows on IMDb, is one of those rarities where every season has either been very positively received or near-universally acclaimed critically and where all of my friends have said nothing but great things about.

Very few shows in recent memory had me so hooked from the very start that before the week was over the whole show had been watched, especially when for a lot of shows now airing watching one episode all the way through can be an endeavour. 'Breaking Bad' had that effect on me, and its reputation as one of the best, consistently brilliant and most addictive shows in many years (maybe even ever) is more than deserved in my eyes. Its weakest season is perhaps the first season, understandable as any show's first season is the one where things are still settling.

Actually everything is established remarkably from the very start, but once the writing and characterisation becomes even meatier the show reaches even higher levels.

"Cat's in the Bag" is not quite as good as the exceptional pilot episode, one of the best television show pilots ever, just slightly lacking that episode's excitement (the sole reason for not giving the perfect score). It is still a wonderful episode and very nearly matches actually that episode's quality, having all of its great things.

Visually, "Cat's in the Bag" is both stylish and beautiful, with photography and editing that are cinematic quality and put a lot of films today to shame, where there are a lot of visually beautiful ones but also some painfully amateurish looking ones. The music always has the appropriate mood, never too intrusive, never too muted.

The writing for "Cat's in the Bag" is a fine example of how to have a lot of style but also to have a lot of substance. The dialogue throughout is thought-provoking and tense, while also have a darkly wicked sense of humour and heart-tugging pathos. The story is texturally rich, intimate, tense and layered, with the pace of it consistently deliberate but taut enough. The direction couldn't be better.

Can't say anything bad about the acting. Bryan Cranston is phenomenal as one of the most fascinating anti-heroes, or even of any kind of character, in either film or television. Aaron Paul has never been better and shines in this episode and Anna Gunn is affecting. The characters are compelling in their realism.

Overall, wonderful. 9/10 Bethany Cox

Pretty good follow-up.

[akashdefonsekaman · 10/10 · 31 August 2021]

Not as riveting as the pilot, but definitely better-paced. Love the banter between Walter and Jesse.

Cool

[zhyarTheChosen · 9/10 · 30 June 2020]

Cool keep going this can't wait what is gonna happen next

Breaking Bad - Cat's in the Bag...

[Scarecrow-88 · 9/10 · 12 August 2013]

"Milf…what the hell is a Milf?"

Oh, boy, does the duo of amateur meth cookers have a big problem on their hands! One of the drug dealers didn't die! In fact, Walt is driving to Jesse's house after school (his guilt over this whole situation regarding his use of Phosphine Gas to poison them in the Winnebago has him hearing a student in his Chemistry class say "murder" instead of what he actually said, "midterm") and sees "Krazy-8" walking the street, wheezing, and barely alive…running right into a tree when he sees Walt in his van! Held captive in Pinkman's basement, the two try to determine what to do with him…and the dead body in the Winnebago. So the plan is to acidify the dead body in the Winnebago and figure out how to kill Krazy-8 (Pinkman takes a bicycle locking device, using it to hold 8's head to a pole!). The flip of the coin decides which person will do either the acid job or the killing in the basement. Jesse lucks out (well, dissolving a body in acid isn't exactly worthwhile, but at least the body is dead) while Walt is having a really hard time doing the deed to 8. A subplot points out that WW's wife is pregnant. The "extra-curricular activities" of Walter White psychologically torment him while in the classroom.

Aaron Paul's reactions to acid-melting a body (or how he responds to WW's suggestion if he should have bought two bins, chopping him into pieces to melt the body easier!) are priceless. I delight in the absurdities that complicate matters for these two bumbling amateurs (seriously, killing and getting rid of bodies isn't exactly something they prepared for), and that unpredictability fuels interest in seeing where the show goes. Oh, and when WW just tires of his wife, Skyler's (Anna Gunn) nagging (she wants to know why Pinkman is calling him; checking his website, she is disturbed at why such a cretin would call her husband), he asks her to crawl out of his ass for once! Haha! And when Pinkman catches Walt smoking his weed…his expression is hilarious. Paul is just a breakout in only his second episode; how he manages to suck it up after taking a hit from his bong pipe, pulling the body out of the Winnebago, only to be confronted by Skylar about selling Mary Jane to her husband, is aces! To cap it all off: the bathtub acid incident…sometimes plastic is preferable to metal. Yo.

Since the pilot succeeded at introducing Walter White, the follow up is more of an effective thriller

[SLionsCricketreviews · 7/10 · 19 December 2015]

"Cat's in the Bag..." is not an episode that seeks to further the development of the character Walter White, as much as it seeks to elaborate on the new companionship between Jesse Pinkman and Walter White. What ensues is a very effective suspenseful episode that works because the pilot succeeded in creating an intriguing story and a deep center character.

Vince Gilligan's script is once again, very strong. The episode focuses around three key aspects: the tension between Walter and Jesse, Walter's own growing paranoia as to his new business and Skyler's distrust and suspicions over Walter. Each of these aspects work well to create a suspenseful episode.

There is a scene where Walter is teaching his class about chiral, and a student in his class suddenly inquires whether this will be covered in the 'murder'. Walter, stunned and petrified in the moment, then realized that the student said 'midterm'. Although this is by no means an original cinematic device, it works because of Bryan Cranston's terrific and subtle changes in facial expression and because of the growing ominous atmosphere that is built up during the earlier scenes.

To see the dynamic of Jesse and Walter will be very exciting, as the two are already beginning to share great scenes. Jesse could have been written as a violent character from the beginning of the series, but some of Walter's proposals (such as dissolving the bodies in acid) make him question whether he wants to be a part of this business or not. As of now, Jesse is shown as a character who is directionless in life. Walter even labels him as someone who was always a burnout in class. And yet, there is something of an innocence to his character, that I assume will be shred away as the series progresses.

Anna Gunn had little to do in the pilot, but here, she gains more screen time. We see her growing concerns over Walter's secrecy with his concealed medical condition, and his suspicious late night activities. The trail that she takes during the episode, which culminates in a very suspenseful encounter with Jesse makes her an unlikely point of interest for the show. There is another moment, almost cold and painful, where Skyler says that Walter will wish they didn't have a girl when she reaches a time of sexual maturity. It is a moment that Cranston perfectly plays off, in one of the episode's most humanizing moments.

"Cat's in the Bag..." is a good episode with a terrific ending that hopefully establishes a string of strong episodes to follow. Cranston is terrific, as is almost guaranteed in the role, and Vince Gilligan's script is equally great. "Cat's in the Bag..." is a nice, slow and gritty thriller that takes the shock factor on "Breaking Bad" to a new level.

Better than first episode but still bad

[byramfurkanefe · 5/10 · 26 January 2022]

First half of the episode is 7/10 or 8/10 but then it was boring like first episode. If this will be better than this,then i will watch this. But It is bad for now. Also except Pinkman,characters are so unrealistic and ridicilous.
