Breaking Bad

returns July 15, 2012.

 

For anyone not familiar:

Breaking Bad follows protagonist Walter White (Bryan Cranston), a chemistry teacher who lives in New Mexico with his wife (Anna Gunn) and teenage son (RJ Mitte) who has cerebral palsy. White is diagnosed with Stage III cancer and given a prognosis of two years left to live. With a new sense of fearlessness based on his medical prognosis, and a desire to secure his family's financial security, White chooses to enter a dangerous world of drugs and crime and ascends to power in this world. The series explores how a fatal diagnosis such as White's releases a typical man from the daily concerns and constraints of normal society and follows his transformation from mild family man to a kingpin of the drug trade.

 

 

This show is one of my absolute favorites. The series could also be titled "A lesson in unintended consequences". Superb performances from the cast, and a gripping storyline. Compares favorably with "The Wire".

I really did not like this show. I forced myself to watch two seasons, but couldn't keep going after that.

I've watched all four seasons so far and every season it gets better and better, mostly thanks to Bryan Cranston. Season 5 starts in a few days.

Same here. Can't wait for fifth season!
