GKL's Rehab Show

What a time to break my leg... no Project Runway, no Dexter, no Weeds, no ANTM, no Californication, and now no DWTS.

High time (pun intended... always) to get myself addicted to a new show. Breaking Bad was recommended to me by dealer, Netflix and I think I saw a couple blogger blurbs from my homies that I trust (you know who you are), so I went with it, and am super stoked that I did, man.

Bryan Cranston,.. wow. No wonder he won the Emmy the first year out of the gate. He is so believable in his role and, as SV puts it, has the look of abject horror down to a T.

It's a little story about a middle-income, middle-aged, middle-humored high school chemistry teacher who finds out he has stage three lung cancer even though he is a non-smoker. His realization that he only has a few months to live and will leave his handicapped son and pregnant wife penniless is motivation enough for him to start cooking up some killer, pure-as-it-gets meth and makes big bucks even though his brother-in-law is a DEA agent hot on his trail. You can imagine the rest of the trouble he finds as Albequerque's newest drug lord.

The two-hour pilot show is by far, the most exciting, funny-yet-dramatic TV show that I've seen in a long time. Watch that and you'll know if you're hooked or not and if so... see your local dealer.

I watched a few of these but I just didn't like the violence.

I'll have to check it out. You haven't steered me wrong yet.

Sigh. Someday I will have to get premium channels.

Skydad, you don't Netflix/iTunes either? It's true what Dr. M said - a bit violent from time to time.

Stating watching and saw 3 epidoes this season. Netflix is coming with DVD's to catch up. Good TV.
