Highly Recommended: Breaking Bad




Just found out about this show and I'm hooked (you can watch the first 2 full episodes online). The show airs Sunday nights at 10pm on AMC (wait, AMC has other programming besides Ben Hurr?? apparently so) and could be a contender to fill the "Sunday night drama series" void left in all of us now that Sopranos is gone.

Breaking Bad stars Bryan Cranston (the father from Malcom in the Middle, in possibly his first real leading role) as Walter White. Walter is a highschool chemistry teacher who has just been diagnosed with inoperable lung cancer, which instead of forcing him into a deep depression, actually energizes him to live life.....and start cooking crystal meth with one of his highschool students. Story of my life, basically.

The show is dark but has many funny moments and I'm looking forward to seeing how the rest of the season pans out. HOLLA.
