Breaking Bad: The Complete First Season
(DVD Breaking)
High school science teacher Walter White is diagnosed with lung cancer and decides to cook meth in order to pay for treatment. The first season explores him and his partner Jesse – a former student of his – in their attempts to set up a mobile lab, produce the best meth available, and then sell enough to make a profit. Along the way he deals with the drama of having cancer and keeping the meth a secret from his pregnant wife and DEA agent brother-in-law.
The
show is well-cast and laid out nicely in 5 seasons. You can clearly see Walter
transition from innocent science teacher to hardened-criminal-mastermind
Heisenberg. There is some comedy but the show gets much darker as it goes
along.
[If you enjoy this, you may also wish to try
the prequel spin-off series Better Call Saul, Weeds or Sons of Anarchy] [Also available in traditional print format.]
