“Director Michelle MacLaren is the John Cage of this malevolent silence, able to wield it as precisely as a pointillist with a paintbrush. And with 'To'hajiilee,' the final episode of Breaking Bad she'll ever direct, she has painted her masterpiece. Under the unblinking eye of her relentless camera, this was television not as entertainment but as endurance. It was agonizing, nauseating, unbearable. I loved every minute but hated every second. I couldn't wait for it to be over but I never wanted it to end. And I especially never wanted it to end like that.” EndsEyeAbleWantedWaitingSilenceMinutesTelevisionDirectorsDirectCamerasFinalsEntertainmentHatedEnduranceEpisodesCagesMasterpieceUnbearableRelentlessEvery SecondAgonizingPaintbrush Author:Andy Greenwald
