5/10
Knock harder, Walter
22 December 2022
Yay, it's so good that we again have some more family drama in the White family... said no one ever. This is another slow episode, and the return of the White family drama to the spotlight, which was never a good thing. The slowness is not as bad as it was in some other episode, but it is quite noticeable. As so many times before in this show, the important parts of this episode could have been merged with the important parts from other episode, while omitting the boring, unnecessary parts and it would have been much better.

Much worse that the slowness is yet another personality switch. This time it is Skyler's time to be the reasonable, sympathetic one, while Walter is now the unreasonable (and kind of stupid) jerk. Also, one moment he is this tough guy (the what is referred to as the "famous" "I'm the one who knocks" speech), yet later he goes back on that and he is nearing the wimpy Walter from some of the earlier times.

There is also more of the same with Jesse, and we are treated to more of Mike's empty stares and looking like his brain is turned off.

So knock harder, Walter, maybe some door will open and this show will finally move from its standstill.
