Watching a good movie or good tv series, well completes me, much like how Tom Cruise felt when he was expressing his undying love to Renee Zellweger in Jerry Mcguire. After the very stimulating 2009 Oscars, i was left with very little inspiring movies. So I moved on to TV series, I thought why not give "Breaking Bad" a try, especially since Bryan Cranston won best actor at the Emmy's last year. That decision was one of the best I've made, the show was so wrong yet so right on so many levels.
Bryan Cranston plays Walter White, a struggling high school chemistry teacher with a teenage son who has cerebral palsy and a pregnant wife, Skyler. As if that was not hard enough Walt was then diagnosed with terminal lung cancer. He needs money to support his growing family and how in God's name is he gonna do it with his salary so he turns to a life of crime, and starts producing and selling methamphetamine with his former student Jesse Pinkman played by the brilliant Aaron Paul in a desire to secure his family's financial future.
From then on the roller coaster begins and you get to see what desperation can do to a person and how loyalty will just pop up when you least expect it.
Season 2, is one of the best tv series I've seen in a long time, there are no frills, no happy endings just pure raw brilliant performances from Cranston and Aaron Paul who got his first Emmy nomination in the best supporting actor category, I jumped for joy cause I thought Jesse "yo" Pinkman was the one in the drivers seat in season 2 and he soooo deserves the Emmy!! You heard here first, Aaron Paul will be going places, he the man yo!
