Beyond Bad

 March 25, 2009











Hello, My name is Charlene and I am a Breaking Bad-aholic. There I've said it. Darker than Dexter and more shocking than The Sopranos.

There is Walter White, the high school chemistry teacher with six months to live, dying of lung cancer, who is married to a 40 something wife who is pregnant and the mother of a 16-year-old son suffering from polio. That's bad, but not bad enough. 

Walt's brother-in-law is a local DEA agent investigating major drug deals who is married to the kleptomaniac sister. That's not too bad. 

But then there is Jesse, a former student of Mr. White's who happens to be a loser drug dealer who needs a source for crystal meth and turns to a desperate high school chemistry who is just trying to make some extra cash before he dies so he can care for his wife, disabled son and soon to be newborn.

 Now this is all really, really bad.
