A mostly enjoyable series, visually appealing, ruined overall by one character, Folkwin Wolfspear, who must be the most stupid, irritating character ever created. I spent most of the show hoping that someone, anyone, would kill him and put us out of our misery.

Something missing...
11 October 2019
Breaking Bad is the best TV show of the past 15 years. In comparison, El Camino falls short, defined mostly by what is missing.
It's missing the further development of Jesse, it's missing the give and take with Walter, and it relies way too much on flashbacks. Instead of taking the story forward, it's happy to coast along on its laurels. Ultimately it's not really a movie, more like a couple of unremarkable episodes of BB. A missed opportunity.

Ostentatious directing squeezes any emotion out of the story
29 December 2018
This starts out interesting, but the minimal plot is quickly throttled by the showy ostentatious directing style. Ramsay is clearly far more interested in showing how clever she is than actually developing the story or the characters. In the end this is a frustrating waste of an intense performance by Joaquin Phoenix.
