Breaking Bad: Chemistry, Cancer & Meth

Capitalizing on the success of it’s Golden Globe nominated series Mad Men, AMC is rolling out a new series Breaking Bad which premieres January 20.
The show centers on Walt White (Bryan Cranston from Malcom in the Middle) a high school chemistry teacher who, in the midst of a mid-life crisis, is diagnosed with terminal cancer and turns to a life of crime in order to provide for his wife and special needs son.
As AMC’s first follow up to Mad Men, Breaking Bad has got some awfully big shoes to fill, but with X-Files alum Vince Gilligan at the helm I am cautiously optimistic. In a time when new non-reality fare is getting harder and harder to come by, this seems like a bright spot on the TV horizon.
The first few minutes of the pilot were released recently, and I must say… they got my attention. I’ve posted them below for your viewing pleasure.
