Giving Breaking Bad a Try
This past weekend when everyone was busy - but me, I decided to give the TV series Breaking Bad a try. The first half of the first season was very interesting - even funny in many parts. I was able to identify (slightly) with the main character, Walt, and his need to provide for his family, and wondering what was going to happen to them after he was gone. I'm pretty sure I wouldn't turn to making drugs, but hey… that's what makes the show funny.
I'm now into the second season on Netflix, and I can really appreciate Netflix for allowing me to play catch up on all the past seasons. But the show is starting to loose me. Far too much violence, and not enough humor, and while it's still probably far too "tame" to be anything like reality, it's getting less entertaining and more dramatic.
I hope they pull it back from the edge a bit. One of my friends loves the end of the second season, so I'm going to see that through, but I'm not sure how much further I'll go. We'll have to see.
