Has anyone watched this yet? I saw the first two episodes at work the last two nights, online at AMCTV.
I loved it. I can totally place myself in this guy’s shoes. The entire point of middle class America is to live long enough to not have to support your family anymore, and here he’s not going to make it and has jack to offer them, yet he is a total screw-up when it comes to crime.
A warning though, it’s very adult content. Prolific drug use, a blurred out shot of breasts, murders and the realities of body cleanup, lots of cursing (though the f-bombs are blanked), married people doing what married people do, you get the idea.
All in all, fantastic show. I can’t wait for the third one this Sunday.

Isn't this a show about a guy who's told he has some terminal illness, and he decides to make and sell crystal meth?

Please, don't. We'd miss you.

Argue about money?

Not to worry! I would never literally wear another person’s shoes. I don’t go bowling for the same reason (though someday I might actually purchase my own shoes, if I cared that much).

That's the one. He's a high school chemistry teacher. I wasn't sure if it was going to amount to much, but it turns out, they did a great job. It’s not laugh out loud funny, but it is still a good comedy / tragedy type show.

Cranston got the role based on a role he did for the show's creator back when he was doing X-Files episodes.
Cranston played a white supremacist who had kidnapped Scully and Vince Gilligan was so impressed with his ability to play a vile character that still was sympathetic and even likable at times is what Vince sought him out for Breaking Bad.
He wanted an actor who could play a villain and still have people rooting for him.
