I love Breaking Bad! Granted, I don't have cable, and so I'm watching it on DVD right now, so if things go tremendously wrong by the end of the first season, I apologize in advance. But this whole show, especially the amazing third episode, has been nothing but great so far.

If you're unaware of the series, it's about a bumbling, meek high school chemistry teacher who discovers he has lung cancer and will die within 2 years. He begins making and dealing meth to earn a whole lot of money for his family very quickly. His brother-in-law is a DEA agent, which feels a little stagy, but I hope and trust that things will keep from getting too over-the-top. It's especially great because Malcolm in the Middle's Bryan Cranston, who plays the main character, is a phenomenal actor. I could watch him sit in a corner doing nothing and it would be the most interesting thing in the world. This kind of actor getting this kind of role is a special kind of alchemy.

Here: Instead of working, you should watch the first episode of the first season of Breaking Bad.

So good.
