Sixteen episodes. Eight this summer, eight the next.

That’s all that’s left of “Breaking Bad” (10 p.m. Sunday, AMC), one of this generation’s greatest dramas.

So wonderful are Bryan Cranston – whose journey from meek chemistry teacher to despicable meth kingpin has been as shocking as it’s been mesmerizing – and Aaron Paul – as his ex-student, partner and ultimate victim – each remaining moment with them is one to savor.

If you haven’t seen it, “Breaking Bad” is one of the reasons they invented Netflix.

Just take your time.

It’s a viewing pleasure as pure and addictive as the product they cook.
