I really enjoyed season 1 of 'Breaking Bad', AMC/Fox's critically highly acclaimed drama series, about a 50 yr old Chemistry teacher with lung cancer cooking glass-grade crystal meth in a Winnebago, with disastrous results. Great premise, great acting & writing. Abundant stylish subtext, slick and subtle.

Characters well crafted, and beautifully flawed, secrets, lies, bare-faced deception of the kind that sails so close to the wind to have you gnawing at your knuckles. I fucking love Walt White and Jesse Pinkman, the klepto sister Marie, and Hank, the DEA brother-in-law who's like a 99 cent store, small-town, big guns, bloater version of Thomas Hauk without any of the charm. Now I'm clucking for season 2 like an Albuquerque crankhead. Meth in a boxset.
