Breaking Bad follows protagonist Walter White (Bryan Cranston), a chemistry teacher who lives in New Mexico with his wife (Anna Gunn) and teenage son (RJ Mitte) who has cerebral palsy. White is diagnosed with Stage III cancer and given a slim chance to survive. With a new sense of fearlessness based on his medical prognosis, and a desire to secure his family's financial security, White chooses to enter a dangerous world of drugs and crime and ascends to power in this world. The series explores how this fatal diagnosis transforms Walt from mild family man to a kingpin of the drug trade. (Sony Pictures Home Entertainment)

Breaking Bad (2008)
Since the days of Rest in Peace, I haven't seen a new series that could entice me this much. In particular, the transformation of the main character (I'm not going to say protagonist) is something surreal, and the way in which the screenwriters cruelly mess with viewer’s sympathies and how they don't really give a damn, is admirable. Of all the episodes, not a single one seemed useless to me, there were no blank spots in any of them, although there was talk all the time, I enjoyed the precisely written dialogues as much as when the characters were just looking at each other and the tension thickened. It was an excellent fifty hours.
