Sony just released this video of Breaking Bad creator Vince Gilligan unboxing the complete series DVD set, which comes gorgeously packaged in a replica of one of Walter White’s money barrels.
There’s something sweet about watching the creator of arguably the best series in TV history gently paw over the fruits of his 7+ years of hard work like a proud father. In fact, it raises the one question left unanswered by the show’s fantastic finale: How can a man who authored so many sadistic scenes also sound so warm and kind in real life? I want him to read bedtime stories to me.
In addition to every Breaking Bad episode and every previously-released DVD extra, the set comes with a ton of bonus video content, including the gag reel and alternate ending that keep popping up-and-down on YouTube, and a two-plus hour documentary about the making of the show. There’s also a compartment that contains physical artifacts, which are best left described by the master himself.
