'Breaking Bad' OMG! Critics React To Finale

"Breaking Bad" is over. It's done. OMG, what did you think?

HuffPost TV asked the same question of TV critics, castmembers and fans, and they all shared their immediate reaction to the "Breaking Bad" series finale with us via Instagram video.

Did the show's dearly departed characters from seasons past (Giancarlo Esposito and David Costabile among them) like the ending? Does Saul (Bob Odenkirk) have a heart? Were Badger (Matt Jones) and Skinny Pete (Charles Baker) happy to get out alive? And where is Huell (Lavell Crawford)?!

Check out the reactions below -- ranging from stunned silence to tears to pure "yeah, b*tch!" elation from star Aaron Paul -- to see what we all thought. Consider it catharsis. Or group therapy. Just don't miss out on a single one:
