Season 4 - Average Score: 98 Season 4 is probably the peak of both Walt and Jesse's character arcs as both embrace their villainy in different ways.
It had fair viewership in its first three seasons, but the fourth and fifth seasons saw a moderate rise in viewership when it was made available on Netflix just before the fourth season premiere.
Breaking Bad's third season is where the show reaches a refined point, it knows itself and what its audience expects by this point. Gus Fring, Mike Ehrmantraut, and other characters are very well-featured in the show and Walt and Jesse find themselves completely trapped in the criminal world.

Walter White faces many foes throughout his drug dealings, but none more cold and calculated than Gustavo Fring (Giancarlo Esposito).
Breaking Bad is a slow-burn crime drama about a chemistry teacher named Walter White.
The slow build-up to a plot-twisting revelation is done in a very subtle manner which keeps the viewers on edge throughout the sequence. In fact, its antepenultimate episode “Ozymandias” is often critically acclaimed and hailed by fans and critics to be the greatest episode ever written for television.
1/10 "Fly"
The only episode of Breaking Bad's tenure to receive lower than an 8 on IMDb, "Fly" has always been controversial. Filmed as a bottle episode to save on budget, it revolves solely around Jesse and Walt trying to rid their laboratory of a single fly that risks contaminating their supply.
Yes, as many others have written before me, Breaking Bad is without a doubt one of the best series of all time. The story of how a desperate chemistry teacher ventures into the drug business with a former student of him is brilliant.
