Breaking Bad

Any of you see "Breaking Bad" on AMC last night?

Very well done. Reminds me of an old movie with Michael Douglas called "Falling Down." Good man pushed too far and resorts to desperate measures.

"Breaking Bad" deals with a high school Chemistry teacher, barely making ends meet, who begins making meth after being diagnosed with terminal lung cancer to help his family survive.

Yep I saw it. I liked it so far. I like the main actor - not your typical meth cook huh?

I'm just always concerned that the lines between glorifying a dangerous, illegal and immoral lifestyle and showing one person's gritty & dramatic reality get blurred. Anti-heros are fascinating, but, I have mixed feelings about these kinds of shows.

I think it comes on again tonight. His descent into hell continues!

The lead role is the guy who played the father in the comedy "Malcom in the Middle."
