If you've seen this show, then you know how good it is.
If you haven't and you're an adult, you should watch it. If you're not old enough to watch brutal stuff, then you should avoid it.
The basic premise is that a high school chemistry teacher who learns he has lung cancer starts cooking meth to provide for his family. That's episode 1, season 1. The plot turns into so much more. There are a good deal of funny moments, but there's also drama, suspense, and some incredible strategizing on the part of several characters. There are a lot of over-the-top moments and plot points, but it all somehow makes sense because the show is so well-written, and the separate stories have a way of coming together really well.
Season 5 is the final season, and I'm really looking forward to starting it. I believe three episodes have been released.
Frankly, this may well be the best show I have ever seen, aside from Cowboy Bebop. I'm about to finish season 4 on Netflix, and I'll be buying the season 5 pass on iTunes. Moments of season 3 and 4 were slow, but for the most part, it has been a non-stop roller coaster ride.
I think it's also a great morality tale, one of the few shows where actions are shown to have real consequences and characters are held accountable for their choices. You're left to decide for yourself whether their decisions are justified, but excuses are never made. This is pretty refreshing, especially in this era, when accountability is running thin.
Anyone else watch this show?
