kiwi in his bag🥹
This is so well edited for a 4.5 hour video! You deserve the sponsor!
You know you could do what I dont see often. Breaking Bad came out in 2008-2013
I think what good use of your channels time would be for you to not only rewatch Breaking Bad but Break down EVERY EPISODE AND SEASON AND TRULY put the whole narrative together in full perspective in 2022. It would be a perfect use of your story telling talents, and breakdowns and easter egg findings.
Breaking down Breaking Bad one more time would be Epic and solidify your channel.
Kiwi - when is the Season 6 Tier List coming out?
@@cuhlors 0apà111
Yes, I've been waiting for this. Can't wait to sit down and watch and...OMG it's 4 and a half hours long.
I know! I just started watching it and realized it was like a part time job to finish it! Edited to add-Okay- I am 1.5 hours in and enjoying it tremendously !!!
AHAHA LITERALLY MY REACTION
Yes sir, this the good stuff right here
SKOL VIKES
I use these tier lists as background noise while I'm driving
I think Kim also laughs at Howard because they just went through the whole Lalo ordeal, so the bowling balls sound so stupid in comparison.
S6 made me so disgusted with what Kim did to Howard. Jimmy wanted to back off yet she kept pushing.
@@flightofthebumblebee9529 She was having too much fun
Little did she know those two plotlines would cross over in the worst way possible.
Howard deserved better in those last seasons
In "Bagman", when Saul and Mike react negatively after Mike snipes the truck driver, I always assumed it was because they both hoped to salvage the truck and/or water. Then, the truck is instantly destroyed beyond repair, extending their trek through the desert.
I think Mike even picks up an empty water jug and tossed it in disgust.
Truck just needed a jump
A lot of people scoff at this kind of recap videos, but I feel like they definitely fill a purpose for these kinds of shows. They really lay out how each scene is a step in a major character arc.
I love these videos. Sometimes when I watch a show, I just don’t catch everything. These really clarify things.
I've been a die hard fan of this series since winter of 2008 when AMC aired Breaking Bad. Sopranos was gone and I truly missed it, yet by season 2 of BrBa I realized it was even better than Sopranos. To me, BCS and BrBa are the same series. I love them both and they flow together beautifully.
@@GiftSparks Yeah and If you want to watch it again but sont have the time or dont wanna use the time you can watch rhis
This isn't even a retrospective. This is a thorough breakdown of scene by scene.
😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭
Im mot kidding when I say this, every episode of this season is so inspiring on a filmmaking and acting level. Every other shot is so smart and well composed and there’s so many surreal character moments this season (Jimmy’s outburst to Howard still sticks with me)
Fun fact: when lalo jumps on the car, it wasn't Tony Dalton playing him, it was the actor who played joaquin salamanca acting as a stunt double.
i think that Mike's monologue about choices in 5x09 sums up perfectly the whole breaking bad universe philosophy, it's like he's explaining straight to the audience how both brba and bcs work.
The significance of this was the fact the reason this rings true is because it's in their nature.
Walt got off the road in s3 but due to his ego he got back on the road.
Jimmy said he would change in season 1 but there is a part of him that keeps taking short cuts
Mike tried to avoid being a killer despite the whole Matty thing he is reminded to not take half measures
Nacho is forced to be on a train track because the road he is on has rails where gus and the salamancas control it.
The road people put themselves on is a familiar pattern where you are wired to not have the proper self control. Or you are like nacho and you are on rails.
People like walt when they turn off want to get back on.
People like jimmy are impulsive and encouraged unintentionally and intentionally by people around him.
Nacho same thing.
Some people are lucky and get to turn away before it's to late. Some get the courage to make a U turn. But the brba charaters are on a road and are either unable to turn off or on some level don't want to
Jimmy wants to change but he also wants to scheme because it's familiar and fun for him and he lives so much in the mommebt he only has clarity afterwards.
Mike has a very self acceptance to his own actions and to him the road is impossible to turn your back to.
But Jimmy does turn his back on the road by the last episode. Jesse turns his back. Walt never did. Kim turned her back.
The difference between them is Kim turned way before she got to the point where she has to live on the run or in jail it ruined her life but she can atleast try to repair it. Jesse turned his back after his life got ruined and is forced to start over and sure he is free and gets a fresh start and jesse has learned his lesson but he is certainly not at peace.
Jimmy ruined his life while it's not the worse a prisoner could ask for while the show points out he will be fine in prison. There is a more phycological tormebt Jimmy mcgill can't die as jimmy there's only one person in tge world who knows him as James Morgan mcgill.
But the point is the big challenges when you want to turn off is that your life might be crippled by it. Most of tge charaters in brba and bcs for don't really see themselves turning themselves in
Kim's monologue to Lalo is really impressive for a multitude of reasons, but one of the main reasons being that it actually made Lalo feel something. It made him realize he truly has no one but himself on his side, it gives him a feeling of loneliness he never had before. Its why he attaches himself to Nacho, because he genuinely trusts Nacho. And notice during his convoluted scheme of revenge in Season 6, he never once does anything suggesting he wants revenge against Nacho. I think Kim's words cut Lalo so deep that it made him attatched enough to Nacho enough to not live up to his family's "blood for blood" schtick.
4:17:00 - if to use a points system, SS = 6, S = 5, A = 4, B = 3, C = 2, D = 1
Season 3 and 5 leading by far, and nearly tied!!! with season 3 having 1 S tier more, but season 5 having 1 SS tier more, making the difference!
1st - season 5 with 46 points
2nd - season 3 with 45 points
3rd - season 1 with 38 points
season 2 and season 4 tied for last with 33 points
predicting season 6 to get 49 points (after scaling for the 13 episodes)
Highly enjoyed this video, can't wait for the 6 hour long season 6 vid😄
I absolutely loved every season. The first season was meant as a stand alone thing that could've worked by itself yet it actually surpassed BrBa in episodes. I consider both shows the same. Amazing. The best.
You said that Ed the disappearer was the only character to be in all three projects but mike was in there too. Love your videos bro
Walt and Jesse, Mike and Jimmy and Ed were in all 3.
@@flightofthebumblebee9529 Mike first Ed 2nd jesse and Walt 3rd 🤞
2:34:56 When Jimmy was saying "Amigo del cartel" and the other guy pointed his gun at him, he then desperately says "Enemigo del cartel" which means "Enemy of the cartel" seeing that those guys weren't friends of Lalo.
Mike seemed to me like a father figure for basically every main character he meets except walt and gus, lol.
True to Walt he’s more of a babysitter
@@camerabox1 no a Para for an extra difficult child
He’s my father figure, and yours too.
Maybe a father figure to Jesse and Nacho, but more of a Grandfather to people like Jimmy and Kaylee
4.5 hours🎉 thank you. Believe it or not, this level of super intricate, long, detailed analysis is what we fans love. No limits on time, I’ll watch and listen to a 10 hour breakdown of BCS. Thanks for the vids brotha
The Hector birthday thing was hilarious. I like to think he actually does "hate to miss them" lol.
I listen to these while driving, and it's such a vibe. Makes my commutes much more enjoyable
This was awesome- thank you. Jimmy and Kim have the most complex relationship of any TV couple I can think of. Introducing her was a stroke of writing brilliance even though I suspect they weren’t 💯 sure where they were going with her long run
I love BCS as much as anyone I swear lol, but Tony and Carmella Soprano are the most complex and best performed relationship in TV history
@@adriennes7739 he should review the sopranos next
I just thought of something.
Perhaps wexler vs mcgill has a double meaning. It could also mean the battle between whether Kim stays kim wexler IE being a legit lawyer and breaks up with saul, or whether she devotes herself to the slippin' lifestyle and officially becomes a Mcgill.
Man, I am so jelous that me and you are able to watch the same thing, and you are able to divine all these meanings that totally went over my head.
Finished your video today. Please good sir, take a bow
Honestly while I love episodes that Vince has done, Thomas Schnauz has consistently written some of the best episodes in each season (Pimento, Winner, Bad Choice Road, Plan and Execution, among many others) he really is the goat
I'm really scared but excited about how long season 6's retrospective will be
Ironically, this is longer than season 6 tier list
@@Ashw1115 the season 6 tier list is only part 1 lmao
So I'm gonna go ahead and take a shot in the dark and assume the 4 and a half hour runtime of this video suggests you love this season.
On the real though thank you for this. These discussions and deep dives into one of my favorite shows of all time have been truly great.
Bad Choice Road is the entire reason I love BCS/BB, while the action in Bagman is fantastic the tense character moments in 509 and similar episodes are why these shows are legendary
So excited to watch this. Can't imagine all the effort it took to make, KiWi!
i cant imagine how long the season 6 video will be 😍💜
I wish I could press the "like" button 50 times. I can't believe the amount of work this must have taken and you did an excellent job. It was nice to put something on that was hours-long and not have to find something else to watch within 20 minutes while I'm working on other stuff. Thank you!
4 and a half hours of Kiwi BCS content? This is sick af
Been looking forward to this! I really enjoyed your other rankings and I have faith that just as much (if not more) time and effort went into this one, cheers!
Let’s gooooooooo, always great to have your tier lists
This is amazing. You outdo yourself. This show, these writers, these actors are so fortunate to receive the astonishingly insightful eye you lend to us all. I should be speechless but….
Thank you for your hard work Kiwi. I know this probably took you forever to put together but the fruits of your hard work will pay off. God bless
Your season tier lists are undefeated my guy. Amazing work thanks for the effort
Can't tell the last time i was happy to see a 4+ hour video...
One Love!
I really enjoy these breakdowns especially when they are this long I can just pop an AirPod in and listen, while I’m at work! Great job!
Jesus christ it took me 40 minutes in to realize this was 4 hours long. Bravo Vivid
Good shit. Time to be like Finger and grab a pimento cheese sandwich and watch this in one sitting.
Thanks for the work man, the speed in which you made this video is astounding. Big props!
even though i just finished rewatching bcs, i literally was glued to my screen for 4 hours because you and this show are both so entertaining. last 2 season are literally masterpieces and i’m so glad to see that you and everyone else sees that as well but fr great content man keep it up
an absolutely staggering 4 hours of content, mother of god this will be amazing, youre work and analysis is interesting as always!
I like to imagine Marion looking up saul and seeing the Mesa Verde videos he made with Jimmy Pesto.
Wow kiwi you’ve outdone yourself!! Thanks for this it will get me through the next weeks’ walk! Great job!! 😅
i love how the tiny clips in the intro reference half the episodes such a cool detail really hope it also turns like this in season 6 tier list
hell yeah gonna listen to this during my morning workout/getting ready to go to work. you tha best Kiwi! this is awesome!
This came WAY earlier than expected and omg 4 hours. I've already invested myself into this tier list series I might as well invest harder!!!
Can't wait for the 6 hour season six tier list!!! (Jokes aside though, 4 hours is absolutely tremendous, you deserve like a lot of naps and pats on the back, great job)
Damn took 2 days but I finished watching the video 😂 Nice tier list you basically analysed every scene in every episode of the season
Thank you for making these. Love listening to these at work like podcasts.
Man this is just what I needed to get through a Monday morning!! You're the man kiwi
You never fail to bring us great content‼️ so excited let’s get startes
These tier lists are a staple of going about my errands. Thanks for putting in the work Kiwi, we love what you do
Beyond excited to watch this video! Thank you so much for your hard work and dedication. Keep up the great work man!
Great video! looking forward to the next one
@34:43 I absolutely LOVED this moment. When the girl accidentally changes the channel, says "sorry," and changes it back, we see Nacho kind of make a face and reach for something. It made me so nervous thinking Nacho was going to yell at her, and maybe chuck something at her head. I know that's not exactly in Nacho's character, but we haven't seen him with women very much, maybe never, and I'm expecting typical TV drug dealer abusive behavior. But instead, he gently and thoughtfully dumps out the jigsaw puzzle for her. It really cemented Nacho's character for me, as a guy with a good heart probably in the wrong line of work.
I'm so impressed by the detail you go into for each episode!
I don’t know what it is but this video did not feel like it was 4 HOURS. Great video. Cant wait for the 10 hour season 6 tier list.
Perfect timing, got a long drive today
Thanks for all the work on these vids, 4 hours! you are an animal!!!
Er Mer Gerd!! Lol.
Once again you made my week! Was so happy to see this here this morning, AND that it was 4hrs +. Thank you SO much for the time, effort, work you put into this and ALL of your vids/reviews/tiers.
The dedication... my goodness
4 and a half hours long, wow!! Thank you for your hard work Kiwi 🙏🏼
Took me 3 days to finish this and I am so grateful
I've consumed a lot of your videos while working this last year. Thank you for all the great content!
This is amazing
You did it again! Thanks!
wow. this must have taken a long ass time. congrats man!
after 2 days I finally got enough time to finish this video, can't wait for the season 6 tierlist
I have been so ready for this video to drop and I can not be happier
Amazing video, please make more long form retrospective content on BCS and BB going forward!
49:11 you can tell they did their research
a dislocation is one, hollow yet weirdly solid pop, maybe abit wet
a break can go from silent (or petty much so) to like a log getting pneumatically pressed the way it wouldve grown,
Lets gooo ive been waiting for this
I just finished BCS for the first time through and it has stuck with me ever since. I was waiting for this recap video and 4 hours will keep me busy
Hell yeah i like how you broke down the entire season in one vid. Really shows the amount of work you put into this, 4 hour vid! your video editing skills are fantastic vivid. Btw, if you made a BCS true crime inspired channel I would definitely watch
such a underrated channel great work dawg
I really enjoy long form content and appreciate the work you put into these reviews. Kudos.
So much effort put into these Recap Retrospectives, four hours of analyzing every moment from a whole season. Incredible content!
Thank you! Glad you enjoyed it
The run of episodes from Bagman through Point and Shoot may be the greatest run in dramatic TV history.
Overall, 5 is my second favorite season after 4. It’s a close second. The Acker scams are so over the top that it takes me out of the story for a bit. But once it hits those last 3 episodes, Season 5 really brings everything home in grand fashion.
I feel like it's only eclipsed by the beginning of Breaking Bad Season 5B up to Ozymandias.
@@weirdguy1495 and episodes 10,11,12,13 of Breaking Bad season 4 - those were **chef's kiss**
great work, the dedication is impressive
I just found your channel earlier today at work. I’ve been listening to all of your tier lists since about 5 am today. I love them. Your voice is super soothing :3
Thank you for the long deep dive video! ❤️ I can't even imagine how much time and effort you put in for this and I love and appreciate it!
How did I just realize I’m not subscribed, missed this 3 days late. well at least now I’m watching it and subscribed lol 💀
Im listening to the entirety of this at work, i’ve been really getting into BCS. Such a good retrospective so far!
Edit: You earned a sub :)
Thank you!
I saw the notification for this video pop up on my phone and I got so excited then I come on CZcams and see its 4 hours long. My day is made. this is all I could ever ask for.
yall this video deadass jus salvaged my entire day
When Howard says “I don’t know any, Joe Dog.. or, Tug Boat..” it kills me every time
Kiwi you gotta split S6 into two parts bruh. Your work ethic is amazing!!
Love this video! Thank you!!
Damn if season 5 video was this big i wonder if season 6 will be just a much haha, keep up the good work
How is this 4 hours long 😂😂😂 Don’t get me wrong I’m gonna watch all of it and love every second, but Jesus that must’ve taken a long time to make. Hats off to you Vivid!
Not counting s6 with Walt and Jesse, your forgot about mike when saying that ed was the only guy in bb, bcs and el Camino
your effort level is insane
Interaction. Thank you, this is a massive video and undertaking, and I thoroughly enjoyed and appreciate it
Watched a few times, hope you are doing well man! Looking forward to whatever you do next :D
Great to listen to for work 👍
I think season 5 is my favourite BCS season. Bagman a firm favourite episode.
Love these long form recap/tier lists, can’t wait for the rest of the BB ones!
This might take a few sit downs to watch/listen to, but I'm ready.
I love the auto captions trying to figure out the word Lalo: lala, wallow, lollow, allah, follow, wallace, lawler
THANK YOU SOOO MUCH FOR YOUR TREMENDOUS WORK!!! 🙏
Great Job
legend ily
Finally! 4 hours of fun ahead! I wonder how long the season 6 tier list will be😅? Maybe 8 hours🙃
I would take a day off work to watch that lol.
