Rarely have I been so engaged by a story where I already knew the end. I knew that the dirty cops would end up dead and Mike would end up with a bullet in his shoulder. But I was still on the edge of my seat. Gilligan and co. are just so good at telling stories.
And, yeah, we are living in a golden age of television acting/directing. If Banks had put up that performance on the big screen, it would be Oscar-nominated.
