Every episode you will spend on the edge of your seat, and after the episode is over you'll remember to start breathing again. Bryan Cranston should have won the 2013 emmy, his portrayal of Walter White and the transformation into Heisenberg is the epitome of acting. The writing is honestly the best I've seen in any show or movie, the plot and character twists will make your head spin. Best of all it makes people interested in chemistry!

Purchased the full season. A few episodes downloaded OK then "Purchase not found" when attempting to access the next episode. Restarted device as suggested previously, but still no access. The "Contact Us" area is way too restricted & gives no options regarding this type of issue. Will not be using Google Play again, but the show has been great, just wish I could see it or get a refund.

These reviews of the google distribution model are irrelevant and a waste of everyone's time. It's like saying a cereal is bad because you pushed it around in a shopping cart with a wobbly wheel. I like the tension and the premise of the season in the first 3 episodes, there seem to be greater conflicts that were explored in the fourth season, the death of *spoilers* Fring */spoilers* has far reaching implications that haven't been explored yet. It will keep me watching every week.
