Breaking Bad fans left distraught after series ends with a bang while ad execs salivate over sky-high viewing figures 'Breaking Bad' went out with a bang last night, leaving more than six million devoted fans both elated at its supremely fitting close and devastated that it's over. The drama has been so successful, it created an economic boom for Albuquerque, New Mexico, where it was set, while cable channel AMC reportedly charged up to $400,000 for a 30-second advertising spot during the finale. Social media exploded the minute the five-season series ended, with fans describing the tense 75-minute finale as 'tight', 'perfect' and 'effin awesome'. Gutted: Fans of Breaking Bad, starring Bryan Cranston as Walter White, are devastated the series is over and have already started suffering withdrawal symptoms Hollywood heavyweights took to Twitter to mourn the end of the AMC drama, which (spoiler alert) didn't end well for teacher turned meth manufacturer, Walter White. Ellen DeGeneres tweeted: '#BreakingBad ends tonight. No more murderous drug dealers and horrifying criminals. I miss it already. Filmmaker Darren Aronofsky wrote: 'almost like losing a good friend. congrats to @BreakingBad_AMC a historic run.' Emmy Rossum isn't ready to let go: '#GoodbyeBreakingBad is breaking my heart.

The series finale of #BreakingBad was effin' awesome. This show has never been anything less that fantastic. Congrats to all. Devastated: Emmy Rossum is heartbroken that Breaking Bad has reached its end Depressed: Ewan McGregor is sad the epic series is over after five seasons Funny: Dax Shephard was happy with the night's viewing options Adage has reported AMC charged as much as $400,000 for a 30-second advertising spot during the show thanks to the program's consistently growing audience. That hefty price tag puts 'Breaking Bad' ads in the same range as other popular television series such as 'American Idol' and 'Modern Family'. The series has been breaking records since it returned with the final half of its fifth season in August, nearly doubling its viewership from the premiere of the first half of the season last year. Just 1.2 million people tuned in to the 2008 premiere compared to the penultimate episode which was watched by 6.6 million viewers. Last night's audience figures have not been released. Meanwhile, the couple who live inside Walter White's 'Breaking Bad' house refuse to sell the home which they've lived in since 1973. The dwelling draws thousands of visitors every month, and despite the steady stream of people rising to a flood as the critically acclaimed show approaches the end, Fran and Louie Padilla will not be cashing in. In New Mexico, businesses are beginning to cater for tourists searching for an authentic 'Breaking Bad' experience. In the past year, local candy store owner Debbie Ball has sold 35,000 bags of blue rock candy that she made to resemble the blue meth Walter White produces on the show. Before the show began filming in 2007, Albuquerque was long overshadowed in tourism by Santa Fe, its smaller neighbor to the north.
