Break Bad is Bad Ass

[Retired_Can_Soldier]

I started watching a series that has been around for a few years, but only available on AMC. The series is called Breaking Bad and it stars Bryan Cranston (formerly the father on Malcolm in the Middle)

Quick Synopsis:

Breaking Bad is the story of Walter White (Bryan Cranston), a struggling high school chemistry teacher who is diagnosed with advanced lung cancer at the beginning of the series. He turns to a life of crime, producing and selling methamphetamine with a former student, Jesse Pinkman (Aaron Paul), with the aim of securing his family's financial future before he dies.[5]

This series follows Walt White as he goes through his cancer treatment and is also transformed from introvert teacher into a narcissistic sociopath. I highly recommend this, but it is not for the faint of heart. Not unlike Tony Soprano you will find yourself identifying with Walt's struggles, but as his character evolves you always aware that he is anything but a good guy.

Check it out.

It's my favourite show on TV, Brian Cranston is awesome in it, quite a departure from his "Malcolm in the middle" days.

On the recommendation of a co worker, I've downloaded Seasons 1 and 2 via torrents, some time when the kids aren't around, I'm going to watch it.

Yea I don't normally watch television shows because they're crap. Breaking Bad is excellent though, season 4 airing right now.

Mental, do you get the US Netflix? It's quite easy to do, such a better selection and your Canadian account works fine with it.

From the sounds of it, next season is going to be the last.8O

I haven't watched the show yet, but have heard from numerous people that it is excellent. I'll try and pick it up on DVD sometime in the future.

I've been interested in this show for a while now, I've heard nothing but good things about it. I'll definitely rent the dvd's but probably hold off until the final season is out. I was joking with someone the other day that I'm so used to watching tv on dvd now that I find it too frustrating to have wait a week between episodes or, God forbid, several months between seasons.

Talk about spoiled eh? Lol.

 

[Retired_Can_Soldier]

We are completely up to date on it.

Binged for about a week and I have to say it is probably one of the best shows I have seen on TV in a long time. If you haven't seen this series I highly recommend it.
