Breaking Bad

This series is about Walter White, a highly over-qualified high school chemistry teacher. Walter has minor financial difficulties but he, his wife, and his disabled son are surviving. But when he is diagnosed with lung cancer and is informed he has only got a short time left to live he decides that he must find a way to make money for his families’ future and to pay for cancer treatment.

Walter decides to use his chemistry skill to make methamphetamine when he becomes aware an ex-student of his is cooking meth. This leads to five seasons worth of complications…

This is well acted and obviously well researched. (maybe too well) There is a lot of action. I can’t help wondering how many fools have used this show to justify crystal meth manufacturing and/or use.

Cast includes: Bryan Cranston, Anna Gunn, Aaron Paul, Dean Norris, Betsy Brandt, RJ Mitte, Bob Odenkirk, Giancarlo Esposito, Jonathan Banks, Laura Fraser, Jesse Plemons
