"The secret of Breaking Bad’s amazing performances is the space and setting given to each character in which they can become more complex, more fascinating. Rather than the armed standoffs or RV chases, the defining image of Breaking Bad is what shows on the face of a person whose brain is churning desperately to find the right words or actions for some no-win situation. It’s not just a thinking person’s drama; the drama is most engrossing when it’s about thinking." —From the introduction by Donna Bowman
