TALKING BAD
August 11, 2013  | By David Bianculli

AMC, 11:00 p.m. ET

 

SERIES PREMIERE: Chris Hardwick, who also hosts the Talking Dead post-game talk show on AMC, gets to send out the final eight episodes in style. It’s a brilliant move by AMC, and one that encourages real-time viewing of Breaking Bad rather than hoarding episodes for later viewing, like some sort of delayed-gratification squirrel, burying nuts for the winter. The only thing AMC is doing wrong here is separating the two shows, Breaking Bad and Talking Bad, with its newest series, Low Winter Sun. Which, to complete the trio, is closer to just bad. Ideally, Breaking and Talking would be, and should be, an uninterrupted double feature.
