Breaking bad is a Crime Drama show about a the white family, but primarily Walter White who is played by Bryan Cranston, an under achieving chemistry genius turned high school teacher, during the course of the first season whilst working his second job to support his family he collapses and finds out he has developed cancer. The first season mostly follows the events that transpire after Walt develops cancer, once he realises his situation he is immediately concerned for his family who, without out him would struggle further as they are expecting a daughter as well as having a son already who has Cerebral palsy. He then decides that If he should die that he would like to some money. From there the show follows his unravelling once he hooks up with former wayward student Jesse Pinkman, who is played by Aaron Paul. From there it highlights his metamorphosis from normal suburban father into villainous drug lord when he begins cooking crystal meth using his adept chemistry skills and Jesse’s connections into the criminal underworld, throughout the first few series he progresses from a normal if misguided man who just seeks to leave his family some security once he passes, to moral depravity as he commits once criminal act after another in the act of producing his crystal meth. Breaking bad is darkly gripping and features a strong sympathetic lead, the evolution throughout the series is clever as each event unfolds, in all it is a clever show that is aimed at people from their twenty’s through to their thirties.
