I do believe it has a particularly unique and distinct odor, yeah.
"Lasting judgments are riding on ‘Breaking Bad’ finale" by Matthew Gilbert | Globe Staff, September 26, 2013
As the AMC meth drama heads into its final episode on Sunday night at 9, amid miles of online scrutiny and conjecture, millions of fans are nervously waiting to see how creator Vince Gilligan will conclude his epic tale.
I have never seen the show, and do not care to.
**************************
Series finales were notable events for many decades, even before “The Mary Tyler Moore Show” gang shuffled out of the WJM-TV newsroom in a group hug singing “It’s a Long Way to Tipperary.” When a show knowingly left the air — when it wasn’t canceled midstream — the writers generally nodded to viewers who were looking for a parting glance. But since the advent of the novelistic drama in the 1990s, with serialized storylines and mythologies moving front and center, the finale has become of paramount significance. These dramas aren’t static procedurals with self-contained episodes; they’re narratives leading toward something. And in the era of binge-viewing entire series, when we watch the beginning and the ending close together, sometimes in the same weekend, the finale is even more pertinent.
*******************************
That’s a big challenge, one that the makers of some of the greatest series, including “Seinfeld” and “The X-Files,” have failed.....
Looking back now Seinfeld is nothing more than the jewsmedia's attempt to normalize and mainline Jewish neuroticism, and the X-Files showed up just as the cover story crapola of UFOs was revived.

I guess I'm not a very good friend then, according to the Globe.
‘Breaking Bad’ has remained thrilling to the end
I wouldn't know about the rave reviews because I have never seen it; however, I don't think it is appropriate for children.
