Has anyone seen
Breaking Bad? (On
Wikipedia)
It ran for 5 seasons on
AMC beginning in 2008 and concluding in 2013. For its run, it was the highest rated show of anything on cable.
We didn't watch it when it was on originally but AMC's sister channel,
Sundance, has been replaying it for the past few months. It just finished last night. At 3-4 per week, they were able to show all 62 episodes in just several months. And if anyone is interested, it begins again with Season 1 Episode 1 next Wednesday evening. We're going to watch it again. And I almost never watch stuff twice.
Basically, it tells the story of
Walter White, a high school chemistry teacher who learns he is dying of lung cancer. He decides the best way to provide for his family after he is gone is to do so illegally. He puts his knowledge and skill to work and begins producing crystal meth. The rest of the story tells a very believable tale of a slow descent into that world and all it entails.
If you haven't seen it, I urge you to watch it. It is absolutely that good. And if you have, let's talk about it here.
