I have long looked at doing an edit of Breaking Bad and I'm still not in that space, so a huge respect to anyone tacking this.
The narrative focus shif to Waltes and Jesse is clearly the way to go, and this certainly was an improvement on the plodding season 1 narrative, which would get a 6 from me unaltered.
The AV quality is a tad softer than my blu ray, but no issues otherwise.
The music enhancements are well chosen but are sometimes a tad too loud and mask the dialogue. A number of visual issues (titles creeping in etc) pulled me out more than once. These are easily resolvable but really should not be present hence my scoring.
This is a skillfull and overall well judged piece of work which is a great improvement of the unedited first season, which I nearly gave up on and had I seen this instead way back when, I would not have almost bailed out.
Overall: Recommended for sure and looking forward to Season 2
