Breaking Bad

Anyone seen this show on AMC?

I think it is pretty good. A straight-laced high-school chemistry teacher gets lung cancer and has all kinds of money troubles, so he ends up "breaking bad" and hooking up with a meth cooker to cook high-quality chemistry-teacher meth and make some extra cash for his treatments and his family before he dies. There are a lot of cannabis references, but at least one of them was not exactly right on --- guy used the term "skunk" weed in a disparaging way. Despite that little slip up, the show has been pretty entertaining, and it has its thoguht-provoking moments as well.

Some of it is very funny in a dark way. And there are a lot of questions raised about right and wrong, legal and illegal, how far a person might go "bad" to protect his family, and what a person wants when they are facing death. There are also a lot of funny tweaker moments with sketchy meth-heads. I'm not intending to open a discussion about meth here --- just saying that if you have ever spent any time around anyone deep into meth, you know there is some good material for a show.
