One of the greatest pilots in history.

"Pilot" is incredibly engaging, partially in thanks to the exhilarating starting scene that comes together at the end, but with almost every scene already being engaging this is just the cherry on top.

As well, the episode does an excellent job at meticulously crafting a starting point for Walt's character in preparation the journey he is about to embark on. Throughout the episode it portrays specific concepts, such as what a meth raid looks like, and introduces these ideas to Walt and in extension the audience. Every bit of information introduced in this Pilot does not go unutilized, every little element has a purpose for its introduction.

Honestly, there is nothing bad about this Pilot, other than one or two weaker scenes, it is an incredibly captivating beginning to a masterpiece.
