Confession: I don’t get into many TV shows, but this one is extremely well written and acted. Walter White is a high school chemistry
teacher (played brilliantly by Bryan Cranston, of “Malcolm in the Middle” fame) who learns he has terminal lung cancer. Add impending death to the mix of overwhelming bills, a wife, a son and a baby on the way, and struggling to make it all work on a teacher’s wage, and White decides to do the right thing by his family: use his knowledge of chemistry, and create the best methamphetamine the world has ever smoked. Vince Gilligan makes all this work, while adding enough bizarre entries (crazed meth junkie dealers, the Mexican cartel, plane crashes, sleazy lawyers, chicken restaurants and the list goes on) to make your head
spin — just like a good meth rush. —SJA
