Watched as soon as I downloaded since I love the show (and Saul). Watched it with my girlfriend who tried to watch the series but the episodes for her took too long to get into. When it was over she was like thats it? What happens next? I said gotta wait until the next edit. She pouted. As I have said when I watch a Fan edit I don't look at the tech end of everything. I watch to see just how much I am entertained because thats all that matters to me. Needles to say we were greatly entertained and are waiting for the next edit which I hope will become a series on their own. I hope that somewhere or somehow Saul Goodman can be incorporated into this in a different way than the series. So thaks for the effort and work done looking forward to hopefully the next edit.

S1 of Breaking Bad is a fairly slow (but enjoyable) grind that sets the scene for future seasons. This film edit somehow manages to capture that same feeling, despite being just over a third of the length. It doesn't try to cram every plot point, but rather chooses scenes very intelligently. Not every scene is a "happening", time is given for character development and to set the mood of the show. Cutting this down to less than 2 hours yet retaining the main plot, pace and feel of the show so clearly is very impressive.

The A/V editing was top notch, my only complaint was that the music was a little loud once or twice.

A lot of side characters, along with the more hated parts of Breaking Bad (the constant nagging and arguing comes to mind) have been cut. This really allows viewers to enjoy the show central plot and characters more.

This was an incredibly enjoyable edit of one of my favourite shows, and will definitely be my go-to on rewatches. The only problem is that now I'll have to wait for IOR to make S2, which I very much look forward to.

And that's not even mentioning the sublime intro and outro credits. It's clear that a lot of time and effort went into every part of this edit, it has a real high-quality feel to it.

This is the perfect version of Breaking Bad season 1. There are 0 faults within the plot and structure of the whole film. The only problem there could be is the volume of the music. I am deeply saddened at the fact there will be no season 2 edit or it isn’t planned. I wish I could have done something or Random could have told me the deductive process he used while editing the first film so that I could do it myself.

This is quite amazing. The pacing has been really improved and edits are flawless. A fun rewatch for me. Keep up the good work.

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
