Whatever happened to Jesse Pinkman?

It was perhaps the only question left lingering after Breaking Bad’s explosive finale, in which Walter White spent his last breath saving his old partner from Uncle Jack and the neo-Nazis. So when Aaron Paul’s newly-liberated cook was sent racing into the night, fans were left to ponder over Jesse’s fate.

 

That is, until the Breaking Bad movie, El Camino, arrived on Netflix….more than 10 years after its predecessor debuted. And though Jesse Pinkman was undoubtedly one of the show’s most-liked characters – if not the only likable character – you would have been forgiven for questioning the existence of El Camino.

 

Despite its flaws. Breaking Bad was a near-perfect TV show that ended just at the right time, so why bother with a spinoff movie? Of course, all those fears and trepidations melted away within the first 10 minutes of El Camino, largely thanks to Vince Gilligan’s expert direction. And we weren’t the only ones who flocked to see it in action; new figures published by Netflix have revealed the Breaking Bad continuation was streamed in more than 25 million households in its first week of release.
