I always seem to be late to the party of watching series.  But with the way TV is lately, there’s nothing to watch, which gave me a really good reason to watch some series that I’ve heard so much about. 

I THROUGHLY ENJOYED THIS SERIES!!  Who wouldn’t watch a show about a high school chemistry teacher that tried his hand at cooking meth and became the biggest drug lord! 

Bryan Cranston, “Walt,” is the typical, boring, high school chemistry teacher.  He has a wife, a teenage son and a baby on the way.  It may not have been what he really wanted out of life, but he left the business he helped build to spend more time with his family.  He finds out he has terminal lung cancer and just a short time to live.  His brother-in-law, Hank, just happens to be a DEA agent who takes Walt on a ride and shows him the dirty side of his job - busting drug dealers.  What’s Walt to do when you want to leave your family financially well off when you’re gone?  You cook meth.  Aaron Paul, “Jessie,” (who is now my favorite actor) is a former student of his, but also becomes his meth partner.  Between the two of them, they cook up the cleanest meth around town.  What started as a simple, one time deal, turns into a living nightmare that Walt didn’t see coming. 

What an intense show!  There are dealings with the Mexican Cartel that go bad. Dealing with other drug lords that go bad.  There are crimes that are committed that they thought they would never do. Everything centers around Walt trying to do the right thing for his family.  But along the way, Walt loses the reason of why he was cooking and becomes an alter ego with power.  Walt and Jessie go down the rabbit hole and when the story ends – you’re not sure who’s going to be the last man standing.  Superb show with superb actors.
