Breaking Bad Season 1

Pros: Great acting by Cranston, Solid direction
Cons: Too much Fantasy and unrealistic situations and actions

Plot: A HS Chemistry Teacher with an expectant wife and disabled son learns he has terminal cancer. He then decides to sell meth to provide for his family.

Breaking bad follows the now standard TV formula of combining the crime underworld, family drama,  with some good writing & acting on the side.  There's enough "Cool" explosions, violence and thrills   to attract the young males while everyone else will tune in for Cranston's fine acting and the family tragi-comedy.  For what it is, Breaking bad is very good, but  a lot of the plotting is predictable and every character is either unlikable, a loser, or depressed.  I enjoyed it, but skipped around a lot.
