Okay, I was a little behind the hype on this show, but after speeding through it over the last couple of weeks, I have officially caught up all the way the the end of the most recent third season. Bryan Cranston is remarkable as Walter White, part-time high school science teacher, part-time meth supplier, full time husband, father, and cancer patient. With Jesse Pinkman (Aaron Paul) as his junkie, meth-peddling business partner, and a brother-in-law with the DEA (Dean Norris) you can only imagine how the show begins. Throughout the first three seasons, we see Walt's ups and downs in the drug community. We see him battle with cancer and his mortality, and we see him do the best he can to make sure that his family is taken care of when he's gone. With a supporting cast that tends to change from time to time and danger around every corner, things never get boring. That, and seeing the occasional severed head riding the back of a tortoise in the desert, among other shenanigans, always keep you guessing how it's all going to turn out. If you have not seen this show yet, but you've thought about it, you should just do it! You totally have time to catch up before the next season starts! There is no excuse.
I give Breaking Bad (Seasons 1-3) a 5 outta 5.
