This episode is not only full of action and how it sets the stakes high from the get-go, but it also is a funny episode. So this pilot episode ends up being one of the better pilots in recent memory, thus beginning television's golden age, which we are currently in the midst of. Though not much screen time is involved, Betsy Brandt plays Hank's wife, Marie. He seems to be the witty member of the family. Dean Norris does a wonderful job as Walt's DEA brother-in-law, Hank Schrader.
There is just a funny scene involving him and the neighbor while a drug bust is going on. Aaron Paul does a good job as Jesse Pinkman, although his character is just a tad whiny. R.J Mitte does a rather good job as Walter Jr, who suffers from cerebral palsy. She does a good job in playing the confused part, while Walt is out and about with his criminal activities. Anna Gunn plays Skylar, Walter's rather suspicious wife. Cranston is known for his comedy, but he does a great job handling drama and in particular, the average-looking, intelligent man.
There is Walter White, who is played by the amazing Bryan Cranston. This show introduces some rather interesting characters. When Jesse puts him in contact with one of his distributors, Walt and Jesse fear they may be too far in up their sleeve. He decides to recruit one of his former students, a druggie named Jesse Pinkman to help him start a meth lab, so he can provide for his pregnant wife and his crippled son after he is deceased. Life goes south when he finds out he has terminal lung cancer. Anyhow, we meet Walter White who is a high school chemistry teacher just celebrating his 50th birthday. We are already told the plot twist within the first five minutes, so all we get for the rest of the episode is the events leading up to the twist. But the plot is executed in such wild ways in the episode. Now as the plot goes, it's a rather simple one. The cinematography is gorgeous, as evident during the scenes in the New Mexico desert. The story needs to be told, so definitely pay attention so you don't lose any details. The episode begins and ends with a fast pace. It was one of the few quite funny scenes. For example, when Walt learns he has cancer, he absent-mindedly points out the mustard on the doctor's jacket. As evidently seen in this episode, Vince Gilligan decides to use dark humor to combat these subjects. What I really liked is how the show used its dark subject matter, dealing with subjects such as terminal cancer and drug abuse, as well as murder and creating a meth lab.

Breaking Bad is one of the greatest television series to have graced our planet, and you can see hints of that from this pilot episode, which very well may be the greatest television pilot of 2008.
