There once was a time when American TV was so conservative, its programs failed to represent the darker side of society. Put simply, shows in the 1950s (like Leave It To Beaver)  right through to the 1970s (eg: The Brady Bunch) presented families as squeaky-clean with tame roles allocated to both women and men (she would stay at home; he would till 5 arriving on the welcome mat with a chirpy “Honey, I’m home”).

Then the ’80s ushered in a certain bitchiness (think Dallas and Dynasty), and the ’90s an even greater lack of scruples (Melrose Place), but come the Zeroes, TV grew utterly out of control. Enter the likes of Big Love, Dexter, True Blood and Weeds – many of these laden with taboo subjects. Then in 2008 arrived Breaking Bad – a series about an ex-high-school chemistry teacher, diagnosed with an inoperable lung cancer, who turns to a life of full-blown crime, using his chem nous to produce and sell illicit drugs.

Walter White’s transformation from respected authority figure to ruthless drug lord is one that has had audiences instantly hooked, with Bryan Cranston – who plays the protagonist – already having won three Emmys and a Screen Actors Guild Award for his superb performances.

Every episode in Breaking Bad Season 5 is just as riveting as its predecessor seasons. Walt continues to make a killing in the crystal meth business – until the fruits of his murderous schemes are threatened by a new development in an investigation led by his relentless brother-in-law Hank. Put simply, there are just as many lows in this season as there are proverbial highs.

And fans will be ecstatic to learn that both the Blu-ray and DVD versions feature an eight-minute bonus scene, ‘Chicks ‘N’ Guns’, written and produced exclusively for the home entertainment release.   

Breaking Bad Season 5 is available on Blu-ray and DVD through Universal Sony Pictures Home Entertainment from June 13.
