Let’s get all television on your collective peepers for just a moment, as we recap the superb first series of the hallucinogenic series, Breaking Bad.
Walter White (Bryan Cranston) is a middle-aged schmo, working as a high school chemistry teacher and moonlighting at a car wash to make ends meet for his pregnant wife (the preposterously named Skylar) and their disabled child, Walt Jnr. If you’re not already depressed by the already EastEnders Christmas Special storyline, then things take a turn for the worst as Walt is diagnosed with terminal lung cancer.
It’s when Walt chooses what to do with the last days of his life that makes this show so riveting, that you’ll be clamouring for your next fix.
Like movie stars and music moguls, television people like nothing better than an evening of expensive outfits, impressive golden statuettes changing hands, and beautiful faces all sitting around telling one another just how brilliant they all are at their jobs. It’s only a shame that such wonderful nights out don’t stretch into normal jobs.
