Yesterday we received season one, first disc, of Breaking Bad from Netflix. It's a television show on cable, I think AMC, that won some awards and the second season has recently started and so Hubby and I thought we should check it out.
The show centers on Walt, a high school chemistry teacher, who discovers he has terminal lung cancer shortly after turning fifty. A meek, mild man, Walt is emboldened by his diagnosis to seek a financial nestegg for his family by starting a meth lab. Perhaps it is some sort of mid-life crisis, or a sense of breaking free from his overbearing (and pregnant) wife, and his responsibilites at home.
Much like the substance he cooks up with the help of a former student, Breaking Bad is highly addictive. We watched the disc in one sitting and will pop it in the mail today so that we can continue watching.
