hurrdurr25 Hank was fucking natural. He didn't have to think for hours, freaked out of his mind, it just came to him. Only thing Walter had going for him was his desperation and paranoia. He could've sat on his ass for years if things didn't get serious but Hank was bound to move up and he could just be happy at the same time.
Yes, I wouldn't consider Walt weak or asocial before he became Heisenberg. To me, he had a great life, but disapointing to himself compared to his potentiaI. Most of his science colleagues were in research or the upper levels of academia but Walt was teaching high school. I think Walt himself may have felt "weak" but as he slowly became Heisenberg, he felt stronger more respected, and powerful. That feeling was exhilirating to him..Heisenberg!! God, BB was sooooo good!!!
@@samuellalla91 no but it makes sense since Walt is his family. No one ever suspects their family members to be in foul businesses. So I don't think it's plot armour
+Guillermo Carandini I love it, he does it a few times throughout the series. This, the interview with Gus, Mike's questioning. The "But wait, there's more!" routine.
The Program so freaking glad you said this. Gomie 100% knows he’s just winding up to drop more of the story on them. I always thought that was so well done.
He's using the all time best sales tactic. You get the most obvious and damning "No" out of the way, agree that it's ludicrous to accept the offer, then you hit them with the real sales pitch. Nobody would believe Fring was involved, even Hank, but you now that you all agree Fring can't be your guy, here's why he is.
That was one of the great things about the show, how the characters and our understanding of them evolved. On first impressions Hank seemed to be just a stereotypical macho loudmouth, but then we learned that he had a very sharp mind and in the end that he had more courage and integrity than just about any character in the show. I completely agree it was a fantastic performance from Dean Norris and great writing from the BB team.
I love how Hank evolved during the show, at the beginning I thought he was just a goofy cop but he ended up as one of the smartest character in the show
_"If your guy had his meeting at KFC, you wouldn't immediately assume that he's sitting down with Colonel Sanders..."_ Hank's eyes widen as the scene cuts to the Colonel being taken away in handcuffs. That finger lickin' bastard had to be stopped.
It was dumb for Walt to tell Hank that Gale wasn’t heisenberg but even if Walt kept his mouth shut it wouldn’t have taken Hank long to figure it out because Walt’s blue meth would still be in production after Gale’s death.
I know man, people say to wait a while and watch it again. But that's no where near the same! One of the things which made this show so great was how unpredictable it was.
xEazy420 Just finished watching the series for the 3rd time; I watch it once per year. Nothing like popping the Breaking Bad theory for the first time! Such an incrediblw show and nothing else will ever be like it. i am still depressed.
Then I have to count myself lucky, in europe only recently I took Netflix and started watching Better get Saul. That I loved more and more. End of this week all series of Saul seen, and I begin on Braking Bad. So, in the correct chronologic order...but it looks kinda strange the Bald Mike character in Saul looking like a worn out Granpa and then seeing breaking Bad "a year later" and he is fresh like a ...40 year old ....hahahaha.
I think he just did that so his partners wouldn’t think he was going off the rails. He was trying to save his ass in case word got out he was losing it so he’d keep his job. When Hank suspects somebody, he’s on their ass, he doesn’t back off.
Hank was the real hero of this story. When Walter was a coward, he was brave. When Walter was manipulative, he was straight and honest. When Walter only showed selfishness, he was loving and caring. He put his life, his integrity, his well-being and his profession on the line all the time trying to do his job, while Walter was hiding and scheming. He was exceptionally written and acted, I really enjoyed his arch.
Not to throw a wrench in your bad Walt good Hank but it was Walt who convinced Hank to get over his fears and self pity and keep fighting. I've said it before and it's true Vince made sure that every character was human (good and bad). Strong and weak. Giving but selfish. This show also made the point that death doesn't care who you are or what you have or haven't done. When it's your time it's your time. Be it a young boy or a old man. Death comes to us all. As Morgan said in Shawshank. Get busy living or get busy dying. Darn straight.
@@richardpowell4643 Actually my interpretation of the show is much more complex than a thousand year old saying, "when your time has come, nothing can stop it" Yes there is moral conflict in all characters, but saying that what Walt did was remotely comparable to Hank in terms of morality is classic case of false equivalencies
Hank was ALWAYS there to help Marie or her sister and her sister's children. Walter Jr. loved him. He was truly a family man, something Walter claimed to be. He left everything to go see his wife, thinking she was in a hospital while Walt missed the birth of his daughter. Respect for Hank for that.
I think that's harsh on Walt, he was a family man, looking after his family, dealing with the frustration of being a genius at chemistry and working a mundane job, and working a part time job at a car wash, taking flack from his own students. The break was the death sentence (lung cancer), that made him take the path of darkness, and start the slide into his own destruction. Remember it was Hank who took Walt on a drug bust, which showed him the piles of money, just sitting there, the money he needed to possibly cure himself, unwittingly Hank set the wheels of fate in motion. To paraphrase the bard, "In order to bring us to greater harms, the devil often tempts us with small trifles.", he was Breaking Bad, not bad; power corrupts, don't you know?
@@onastick2411 Walt had a way out early on when Gretchen and Elliot were willing to hand him a well-paying job with full health insurance, but Walt declined. It was never about his family and finances, it was always about protecting his pride.
Nah, Hank was rather cold to Marie and was a pretty big dick to Jesse and often looked down on poor and misshapen folks like Wendy. If ANYONE was the opposite of Walt, it was Mike. He did everything he did for the sake of his granddaughter after having to kill his own son and did everything he could to keep her well.
Breaking Bad was and still is one of the most incredible shows ever in the history of television. The writing, the acting, I've seen it 3 times and I still want to watch it again.
The writing. My god, the writing. How does someone write something this sprawling...over half a decade...and have every last little detail click into place PERFECTLY? It boggles my mind..
Hank was a hero in a world where heroes don’t exist. Great at his job but completely in over his head. His own tenacity and unwillingness to leave well enough alone led to his death. Still one of my favorite characters on the show.
@@PrimetimeX not even in the same dimensionality of the definition wally west superman and nightwing are ppl who would be the definition of a hero hank looks good in comparison to drug Kings and killers in actual standards he's a terrible person
@@PrimetimeX he is a bad person in our standards in the show he is by far the morally the best but that's not really an achievement it's full of drug Kings and murderers so I hope most ppl would
@KingCai72 well he got around 50mil. And with inflation that's probably like half a billion he got. Sure he didn't blow it but deffo got an easy leg up. He's out of touch with reality. Just lives in his cloud cuckoo guns and wall malarkey
This sit-down between Hank, Gomey, and Merkert is one of my favorite scenes of Breaking Bad. The way he lays out the evidence and builds it up is extremely captivating.
Early on in the series, the character of Hank was used mostly for comic relief, even though he was more of a blowhard than actually funny. But when he was relieved of that role by Saul Goodman, who really was funny, there was a sudden opportunity to develop Hank as a more 3-dimensional character, which I thought worked a lot better. Anyone agree?
hank feels like a sopranos character in season 1, his wisecracks especially feel like they’re from that show, or in that style. he came across as funny but in an ironic way. if they kept that up for 6 seasons it would get old fast. glad they went the direction they did w/ the ptsd and mirroring walter’s arc. but i do love the tone of BB season 1, great comedy in that one
your analysis is a bit mechanical - really takes you away from the fictional world you're supposed to be invested in - but I think, on the whole, you are right. From the writers' pragmatic point of view, definitely.
Walt is the entire reason why hank continued the search, hank was done with the case and Walt had to shoot his drunk mouth off and encouraged hank into thinking that the meth chef was still out there all bc Walt couldn’t stand the idea that gale was being given the credit for the whole meth cooking operation that Walt was truly behind..his pride and ego ruined him
literally best ending of breaking bad ever. its so scary a guy this half paraplegic can still hunt the most underhanded villain that people overlooked right by their nose. and the eerie confidence of his suspicions just got you edge of your seats. everytime i rewatch Br Ba i always turned my volume up for this scene, its so goddamned epic.
Watching the facial expressions of Gomey and Hank and Hanks delivery you realize how much attention to detail was paid in this series and how Damn good each of the actors in this whole series really were.
A lot of Hank's story unfolds as though he's the main character in his own show. If we hadn't already known that Gus is living a double-life, this moment would've been an incredible twist on its own merit.
Aleksandar Lukic I’m a big breaking bad fan , but the Ozarks is better in my opinion . It went where breaking bad couldn’t on cable tv , it’s dark twisted 100% full throttle on the first episode. It’s that good , give it a try
Yea watch Ozarks it’s pretty damn good. It’s definitely a slightly more real depiction but I wouldn’t say it’s better than Breaking Bad. Only 2 seasons so far.
I love how Hank pitches this KNOWING how it sounds and decides to make a joke out of it, saving the hard evidence until after they show skepticism, as a punch line.
he's not ethical. he just wants to do his job well. he had zero empathy for pinkman when it was brought up that walt might kill jesse at the meeting. in fact, hank wanted it to happen. that's not a hero.
Just finished the show. Wild to look back at how fun it was. Hank's chase. Walt dueling with Gus. So much excitement and so many "Haha WOW!" moments. And then comes the final 3 episodes. Terribly sad, horribly dark, and ultimately defeating. Walt gets as much "redemption" as he can, but nothing is fun or okay.
Hank could have opened his arguments with "Hey I found Gus Fring's fingerprints at a murder scene," but instead he went out of his way to make his colleagues look like assholes first
0:34 This comment is really annoying to me. I have been working the Sanders case for years. I must have busted a narcotics dealer in every one of his kitchens and parking lots, and the son of a bitch is still squeaky clean.
gus really ruined everything for himself. he had a good thing going with walt and jesse and couldve kept it that way. But he underestimated Walter, and got Gale killed. Which caused Gus to get caught.
What I love so much about this show is its portrayal of the each character's strengths and weaknesses. You can see from this shithole of a comment section that many people are arguing whether or not certain characters are good or bad which I find rather pointless. The characters are imperfect and that's what make this a perfect show.
Hank was an incredible in breaking bad, I’ve said it a million times and I’ll say it again, breaking bad is the best show ever. In terms of writing, acting, dialogue etc. A complete masterpiece from Vince but also the actors played a huge part as well.
Hank is such a good character, he's set up in the pilot for you to think he's just this stereotype meathead character, but he's such a great, complex character and Dean Norris does such a great job with him.
Gomez knew when Hank agreed with them that it was all nuts, that he had a critical piece of evidence. Watch how Gomez' eyes shift. Very subtle, very good acting.
This is one of the best scenes in the entire series that I never hear anyone else speak of. When I first saw this, I was on the edge wondering what was going to happen afterwards.
Hank was a damn good cop, no two ways about it, but it was his relentless determination to find out who the leaders of the drug cartel were that eventually got him killed.
@@arndnaj that's exactly what I mean. As a person he had his own faults and problems (including panic attacks) but had a skill of catching the bad guys and providing results. That's why he was promoted.
Nah, he sucked as a cop and a human being. In the end, he caused himself and his best friend to be killed because he cared more about bringing in Walt himself than doing things the right way.
So many genius characters in one show made breaking bad the best thing to have ever happened on television. Ever!! A genius Vince Gilligan was responsible for it too.
Walt: started out suffering and not taken serious to a show off and taken seriously Hank: started out a show off and taken seriously to suffering and not taken seriously
Hank Schrader is one of the best TV heroes. He isn't a hollow positivity creature - he gives in to anger and despair. But he fights back. He probably should have let go - he died for his ego, yes, but also for truth and justice.
There’s no outcome where Hank would’ve done that, as much as he’d POTENTIALLY want to. By that statement I mean even with Walt in custody he didn’t want to kill him, despite knowing how many people died for him.
The thing that was great about hank and walt was that they were both genius in their fields and both of them destroyed themselves by becoming obsessed
hurrdurr25 Hank was fucking natural. He didn't have to think for hours, freaked out of his mind, it just came to him. Only thing Walter had going for him was his desperation and paranoia. He could've sat on his ass for years if things didn't get serious but Hank was bound to move up and he could just be happy at the same time.
NightWatch707 didn't think and because of that it took him 5 seasons to find out walts Heisenberg lol
i mean, nobody expects his brother in-law to be a criminal boss. Especially when u know he's been a asocial weak man all his life.
Yes, I wouldn't consider Walt weak or asocial before he became Heisenberg. To me, he had a great life, but disapointing to himself compared to his potentiaI.

I was not a Hank fan at the beginning of Breaking Bad, but this scene among others completely won me over. Dean Norris is an incredible actor.
Yea, it was a good idea to have Saul Goodman take over the comic relief role, allowing Hank to be more of a badass.
Jesse, Walt, Hank and Mike are the best performances, Gus and Sky are the next in line
That was one of the great things about the show, how the characters and our understanding of them evolved.

Terribly sad, horribly dark, and ultimately defeating. Walt gets as much "redemption" as he can, but nothing is fun or okay.
Hank could have nailed Walt in season 1 if he wasn't so blinded by family loyalty.
How?
@@Kornhulio18 Chemistry genius who suddenly gets hit with lung cancer. Missing supplies from the school HE works at

Hank could have opened his arguments with "Hey I found Gus Fring's fingerprints at a murder scene," but instead he went out of his way to make his colleagues look like assholes first
Yeah but this is tv not real life. Who wants to watch that? stop complaining.
0:34 This comment is really annoying to me. I have been working the Sanders case for years. I must have busted a narcotics dealer in every one of his kitchens and parking lots, and the son of a bitch is still squeaky clean.
Hank had impeccable instincts...matched by Walt's cunning. His video implicating Hank was genius.
gus really ruined everything for himself. he had a good thing going with walt and jesse and couldve kept it that way. But he underestimated Walter, and got Gale killed. Which caused Gus to get caught.
What I love so much about this show is its portrayal of the each character's strengths and weaknesses. You can see from this shithole of a comment section that many people are arguing whether or not certain characters are good or bad which I find rather pointless. The characters are imperfect and that's what make this a perfect show.
First time I watched this, I thought Merkert and Gomez were in cahoots with Gus Fring due to their reaction at 0:04. Boy was I wrong.
I thought the same..
that would be fucking awesome
That would have been a really cool twist I must admit.
you were absolutely right on that bro
MIKE HAZEL how?
Hank was an incredible in breaking bad, I’ve said it a million times and I’ll say it again, breaking bad is the best show ever. In terms of writing, acting, dialogue etc. A complete masterpiece from Vince but also the actors played a huge part as well.
"Keep your friends close but your enemies closer."
Hold up for a se.....
“A guy this clean got to be dirty”
"Couldn't agree more guys"
"Alright then see you tomorrow"
"Wait..."
Hank is such a good character, he's set up in the pilot for you to think he's just this stereotype meathead character, but he's such a great, complex character and Dean Norris does such a great job with him.
i wish someone would upload the scene where gus gets questioned. it's really great.
"Keep your friends close, but enemies closer." That is very Godfather Part II, Michael Corleone and Gus' procedure, which made them ahead of the law.
Jury from the Sons Of Anarchy!!!
Hank is a bad ass , he fought alone with the twins Salamanca and he found the truth!! He was amazing
I always thought this was one of the best scenes in the show. Great acting.
Mike became my favorite character out of all of them. Doesn't get any better.
I always got worried when Hank got charming. When he started acting dumb, was when he knew exactly what was going on.
"I oughtta be wearing a tinfoil hat, you know?"
LMFAO
+CIarKent fuck chuck
Hank was relentless. He was either going to catch Walt or die trying, there was no other way.
Makes me want to go back & binge the whole series.
The actor who played Hank made a large part of the series success.
Gomez knew when Hank agreed with them that it was all nuts, that he had a critical piece of evidence. Watch how Gomez' eyes shift. Very subtle, very good acting.
Gomey even looking at the boss like "you're seeing this shit?"
This was Hank's - Columbo ''Just one more thing'' moment.
god i love when he reaches under the table...'except'.........
Hank and Gomez, the True Heroes of the Breaking Bad Verse.
@Pat McCann Walter White is the villain of the story, not an anti-hero. An example of a anti-hero would be the Punisher.
This is one of the best scenes in the entire series that I never hear anyone else speak of. When I first saw this, I was on the edge wondering what was going to happen afterwards.
Hank is extremely smart and never gives up. He one of my favorite characters
God I miss this show
Ughh what?
Him? You think the Chiken man? What a joke.
Hank was a damn good cop, no two ways about it, but it was his relentless determination to find out who the leaders of the drug cartel were that eventually got him killed.
He wasn't a good person as a cop, but he was a good investigator, good at putting together the pieces.
@@arndnaj that's exactly what I mean. As a person he had his own faults and problems (including panic attacks) but had a skill of catching the bad guys and providing results. That's why he was promoted.
@Mister Guy read my response to Nathan.
Hank had his flaws but what instincts
0:55
Chuck: 👁👄👁
Hank: "Crazy" theory.
Co-workers: That's crazy.
Hank: Yes but actually no.
The original interor Los Hermanos was shot at a KFC near Black Rock Park on Montano in Abq. Before the outside was twisters tho near Indian School St.
I absolutely love and miss this show I remembered the first time I watched it and couldn’t get enough
very well put together show, loved every minute of it!
I rooted for both Hank and Heisenberg. That's the power of charismatic acting.
0:19 is it just me or does Hank’s head look massive in that camera angle😂.
Hank’s cover story is impeccable. Making Fring a patsy is no mean feat.
This show is the holy grail of video entertainment
After this episode bro.. i remember.. i became an ADDICT.
Got a little enjoyment in my life, buddy
just saw the ep the 5th time bingewatching. this was such a great scene, incredible build, wonderful delivery...
The only hero in Breaking Bad is Hank.
Nah, he sucked as a cop and a human being. In the end, he caused himself and his best friend to be killed because he cared more about bringing in Walt himself than doing things the right way.
That little "eh" Hank throws in there is beautiful
So many genius characters in one show made breaking bad the best thing to have ever happened on television. Ever!!
A genius Vince Gilligan was responsible for it too.
I love how Hank did his little Columbo impression there...
0:25 the way his lips stick together
Walt: started out suffering and not taken serious to a show off and taken seriously
Hank: started out a show off and taken seriously to suffering and not taken seriously
Hank Schrader is one of the best TV heroes. He isn't a hollow positivity creature - he gives in to anger and despair. But he fights back. He probably should have let go - he died for his ego, yes, but also for truth and justice.
"What kind of vegetarian eats in a fried chicken restaurant??" *My cousin*
Damn!! This one clip wants me to watch it all over again!!
Man hank was so good and believable as a cop. I guess thats what being typecasted for years in hollywood will do to an actor. He perfected the role.
When Hank obsesses more about Fring than his minerals, then you know Hank ain't gonna be dropping his hunch anytime soon.
I really loved Hank. I wanted the finale to have Hank blowing Walt's head off, literally. Instead I cried when Hank died.
There’s no outcome where Hank would’ve done that, as much as he’d POTENTIALLY want to. By that statement I mean even with Walt in custody he didn’t want to kill him, despite knowing how many people died for him.
