Another show I have Nick to thank for-Breaking Bad. Oh. Mah. GAWD. I never got into TV dramas-The Sporanos was a mystery to me and the Dr. shows (ER, Grey's Anatomy, House, blah blah blah) never did anything to grab my attention. But Breaking bad-wow, it hit me like a ton of bricks. I wish more shows were this good!
I nabbed a good synopsis for ya'll that doesn't have a spoiler:
A struggling high school chemistry teacher, Walter White (Bryan Cranston), is diagnosed with terminal stage threelung cancer, and resorts to selling drugs to provide for his pregnant wife and handicapped son. On a ride along with his DEA agent brother-in-law Hank (Dean Norris), he sees a former student of his, Jesse Pinkman (Aaron Paul), fleeing the scene of a meth lab. He contacts Jesse and devises a scheme to cook and distribute methamphetamine in order to pay for his treatment and leave his family financially stable.
Perhaps it is because I was laid off and had to face the question of how to support my son that this show really grabbed me. I can easily relate to Walter as he struggles to provide for the people he loves while covering up his illness. Hell, I am willing to bet a whole lot of people can relate to that stress in today's economic situation. Anyhow, I don't want to give much away-season three just ended so go rent the first three seasons and hang on for season four! WOO!
