Break Bad (v.) 1. To challenge convention 2. To defy authority 3. To raise hell
This show has captured my attention in the off season between Dexter and waiting for Lost to end. It's a modern masterpiece about the daddy issues, mid-life crises, dysfunctional families, meth and growing up.
! When an unassuming high school chemistry teacher discovers he has a rare form of lung cancer, he decides to team up with a former student and create a top of the line crystal meth in a used RV, to provide for his family once he is gone.
Walter is phenomenal, and to see Vince Gilligan's range as an actor is exceptional as well as entertaining. Between the charades of Willey Coyote, and Fringe-like (Walter) dialogue I have come to love this show.
Granted it's slow, and for an hour-long show, it does drag, but if you stick to it, it is amazing.
Anyone else watching?
