Six years after Breaking Bad reached its harrowing conclusion, the iconic drama is back. Today, Netflix released the highly-anticipated El Camino: A Breaking Bad Movie, which reunites viewers with Aaron Paul‘s drug dealer turned second-in-command Jesse Pinkman. El Camino has only been on Netflix for a few hours, but fans are already going bananas over the new movie, with many comparing it to “just another Breaking Bad episode.” Added one Twitter user, “Absolutely brilliant and captivating through it all.”
**Light spoilers ahead for El Camino: A Breaking Bad Movie**
El Camino: A Breaking Bad Movie picks up immediately after the events of the series finale. After Jesse breaks through the fence in his car, he shows up on Skinny Pete’s (Charles Baker) doorstep in desperate need of help. The police are hot on Jesse’s tail, but Skinny Pete and Badger (Matt Jones) clean him up and metaphorically send him into battle. For the next two hours, Walter White’s bitchin’ sidekick does some serious soul searching: in order to fully move forward, he must stare down his past one final time.
Fans worried that a sequel film would tarnish the show’s legacy need not be concerned: die-hard Breaking Bad fans seem to be loving the Netflix movie. In just a few hours, Twitter filled up with glowing reviews from fans, who described El Camino as “absolutely brilliant,” “incredible,” and “a worthy coda to the finale of Breaking Bad.” While many tweets about the movie contain spoilers — stay off Twitter if you’re looking to avoid more El Camino: A Breaking Bad Movie spoilers — some users were conscious not to ruin the movie for their fellow fans.
“Holy, fucking, god. This is the follow up I’ve wanted since I first finished Breaking Bad,” wrote one user. “Just watched El Camino. Fantastic,” wrote another. “Badger and Skinny Pete are literally homies you could trust with Top Classified information on aliens and shit,” tweeted another viewer (also, lol).
