Tony Soprano was a man who didn’t change, couldn’t change. That’s how you can make the Korean War last eleven years.Īnd as that first generation of shows from television’s post-millennial Golden Era threw off so many of the shackles of convention inherent in the medium, they kept this one. After every episode of M*A*S*H or The Rockford Files there’d be a cosmic reset button that would allow the characters to return to exactly where they started at the beginning of the episode.
Television had always been about a kind of inertia. Showrunner Vince Gilligan set his protagonist in motion.
But Breaking Bad did something those iconic shows didn’t do.
