- GoofsWhen Dan is in vault, the banker uses one key to open all the boxes using the right key slot. This is impossible since a safety deposit box needs the bank key and the box owner key to be inserted and turned simultaneously. Additionally, when Dan uses his key, he changes back and forth from the left to the right key slot among the different boxes.

Very few shows in recent memory had me so hooked from the very start that before the week was over the whole show had been watched, especially when for a lot of shows now airing watching one episode all the way through can be an endeavour. 'Breaking Bad' had that effect on me, and its reputation as one of the best, consistently brilliant and most addictive shows in many years (maybe even ever) is more than deserved in my eyes. Its weakest season is perhaps the first season, understandable as any show's first season is the one where things are still settling.
Actually everything is established remarkably from the very start, but once the writing and characterisation becomes even meatier the show reaches even higher levels.
"Say My Name" is another incredible 'Breaking Bad' episode, one of the best of Season 5 and the second best episode of the season since the season opener after "Dead Freight" (that is up to this point). The sizzling tension and the unforgettable ending are two of the most striking aspects, as is the emotional power of saying goodbye to a main character.
Visually, "Say My Name" is both stylish and beautiful, with photography and editing that are cinematic quality and put a lot of films today to shame, where there are a lot of visually beautiful ones but also some painfully amateurish looking ones. The music always has the appropriate mood, never too intrusive, never too muted.
The writing in "Say My Name" is a fine example of how to have a lot of style but also to have a lot of substance. The dialogue throughout is thought-provoking and tense, while also have a darkly wicked sense of humour, nail-biting tension and heart-tugging pathos. The story is texturally rich, intimate, tense and layered, with the pace of it consistently deliberate but taut.
Can't say anything bad about the acting. Bryan Cranston is phenomenal as one of the most fascinating anti-heroes, or even of any kind of character, in either film or television. Aaron Paul has never been better and Anna Gunn is affecting. The supporting cast are both intriguing and entertaining, Jonathan Banks and Dean Norris especially. The characters are compelling in their realism, likewise with their chemistry, and the episode is superbly directed.
All in all, another episode that is difficult to find fault with. 10/10 Bethany Cox
