**some spoilers blah blah blahhhhh.
So recently Mr. Shutt and I have been watching Breaking Bad. Oh you haven't heard of it? Neither had I. It's just your typical show about a typical chemistry teacher turned methamphetamine cook to pay for his cancer treatment so he does not leave his family penniless. Yeah, it's really good.
I was skeptical at first. I found it so hard to believe that the dad from Malcolm In The Middle could be anything but upstanding, but alas, he has turned over a new leaf.
The cast is over par, the writing is brilliant, and it's given me more WHAT THE CRAP moments than most shows with the exception of Six Feet Under, Dexter and Grey's Anatomy because all three of those have given me ulcers. Breaking Bad is WELL on it's way.
Mr. White (Bryan Cranston aka Malcolm's dad) says motivational things to his junkie partner Jesse, such as: "Do it right." "I am just trying to provide for my family, why can't you understand that?" and "I tell YOU what to do." Jesse usually responds with the word: "...bitch."
I am not here to sell you on it, though if I was offered money I'd totally sell out and try and hand out pamphlets on how crack is whack (RIP Whitney) and how this show will seriously make you not want to do any kind of drug ever in you're life. But for reals, if you're interested in fantastic adult (not porn, but clearly not for babies) television I highly recommend tracking it down (seasons 1-3 are streaming on Netflix!) and settling in. And I must say....pause for dramatic effect...give it until at least halfway through season two. I found it slow to start but it's definitely worth waiting on, this I assure you.
Would I steer you wrong?
As Walter White would say: Watch it now. That's what we're doing this lovely, Valentine's Day evening....bitch.

I'll put it on my queue! However, I still have a lot of Doctor Who to go through first!
ReplyDeleteI think I may have heard of it, but I def never saw it!
ReplyDeleteSounds like a pretty awesome show though :)
