Breaking Bad

A friend recommended the new series from AMC (the people who brought us the smartly written Mad Men) Breaking Bad. It stars Bryan Cranston (of Malcolm In the Middle fame) in a decidedly black comedy. So far I’ve only seen two episodes, but I think I was correct in thinking that it would be difficult to triumph the manic storyline of the first episode, but I think there’s a lot of potential for it so I’ll continue watching to see where it is going. Slate describes it as thus: "IMAGINE THE COEN BROTHERS DIRECTING AN EPISODE OF WEEDS, AND YOU HAVE BREAKING BAD."
