by Mason Kupiainen When Breaking Bad wrapped up six years ago, viewers were left wondering what would happen to the character Jesse Pinkman as he drove away after being held captive. The show ended on a bit of a cliffhanger, not really giving any clue as to where his character would go next. It was frustrating not knowing what happened to him, yet also satisfying because it left his character open to a world of possibilities. Once El Camino was announced, some people, including myself, were a bit worried that it would undermine the ending of the show. I'm going to say that this movie is the best possible follow-up to the series that we could have gotten. The movie follows Jesse Pinkman (Aaron Paul) immediately after the series finale. We go along with Jesse on his journey where he wants to forge a new life for himself. However, in order for him to have a new future, he must come to terms with his past. Along the way, he faces a variety of tasks and threats that stand between him and his new beginning.
