Hit up a sneak peek of the finale here. 

 

Creator-producer-writer Vince Gilligan and star Bryan Cranston, the surprise lead actor winner at last year's Emmys, have together raised the bar to dizzying heights for the second season, pushing the show into areas other productions have never dreamed while giving a stark realism to a character that somehow makes you sympathize with the fact that he's a meth chef. 

 

The antes have been upped at a dizzying rate throughout the entire season - the violence more gruesome, the suspense more gripping, the claustrophobic sense that the world is about to collapse at any moment more intense than ever before. In short, if you haven't given this show a chance yet, now is the time to start. It could very well be the best drama television has seen in years.

 

 

"Breaking Bad" continues to blaze new trails in the world of TV drama, throwing out the rulebook for etiquette and structure and coming up with sheer white-knuckle brilliance week after week. In fact, the only real drawback of the show is that it's so damned good, sitting there watching it I couldn't help but get the horrible sinking-lead-ball feeling that the Feds were gonna kick down my door at any given moment. You truly feel as if you're a part of the action, and Walter's fate is inexorably tied to your own. That's what makes good television, folks. Cranston's brilliance lies in his ability to make you feel his struggle, his highs and his lows. I'm sure I'm not the only one excited to see where this goes.

 

Immediately following the season finale, Gilligan will answer viewers' top ten questions from Season 2, with answers posted at amctv.com. Gilligan will also give viewers the inside scoop and some insight into what is in store for Season 3! The network will also debut an exclusive sneak peak of the upcoming mini-series, "The Prisoner," slated to air in November - as well as a first look at the network’s new brand spot, "Story Matters Here."

 

 

"The Prisoner" is a six-part miniseries reinterpretation of the '60s cult classic. Jim Caviezel stars as “Six,” while two-time Oscar nominee Ian McKellen will play “Two.” While the original series, which debuted in 1967, was a riff on Cold War politics, AMC’s reinterpretation will reflect 21st Century anxieties and sociopolitical climates such as liberty, security and surveillance.
