TV Notes: ‘Breaking Bad’ wraps up with ‘unapologetic’ final act
Don’t miss
“BREAKING BAD” SERIES FINALE: It hardly seems fair that this electrifying drama aired for only five seasons, but all “Bad” things must come to an end. Of course, fans will be perched on the edge of their sofas to see how the final act plays out for Walter White (Bryan Cranston), the mild-mannered chemistry teacher who morphed into a murderous drug lord. We have no idea what’s going to go down, but Cranston tells viewers to expect an episode that’s “unapologetic and very ‘Breaking Bad.’ ” 9 p.m. Sunday, AMC.
