I haven't written a review for this series before but I'm so moved by this episode I had to come up with this.
We were quickly taken from the two protagonists sorting themselves one way or another, Walt, with his family & Jesse, with the cops, to the unprecedented repercussions of their actions. Walt gets a passive aggressive display of anger & disappointment from his family while Jesse just basically plunges "down" south. It could be hard to swallow the sudden transformation of events but its proof that when things tend to go bad, they go bad real fast. Not to be insensitive here but I have to say they had It coming one way or another. Its the causality of life. Great writing here.
Kudos to Brian Cranston as usual. Character Walt couldn't be faulted but Aaron Paul gave a solid performance here as well with his portrayal of the quite unfortunate Jesse Pinkman. Anna Gunn is very believable
as well. Her character is not the best of wives out there but to show the emotions of an angry, fed up yet imperfect wife is what she does well here. Two top cast members are missing here but it works. The omission of comic relief that Hank provides works okay as this episode really portrays what the show is about. A tragic comedy.
