Breaking Bad (2008-2013)

 

Working as an unappreciated high school chemistry teacher diagnosed with stage three lung cancer, Walter White has seen better days.  To make sure his family is set for the future, Walter aligns with former student Jesse Pinkman to cook and sell meth.  Their modest beginnings involve a rolling meth lab but Walter's recipe for special blue meth takes their production facilities to a higher level.  But with success comes problems, including entanglements with cartels, gangs and even his own brother-in-law.

Breaking Bad is considered by many to be one of the best television series of all time.  The writing and acting are superb and the show managed to increase viewership each season, a feat usually unheard of.  The Emmy-favorite had its share of shocking moments throughout its run including the plane crash, Tortuga's tortoise and Gus' explosive ending.  Unlike many shows, Breaking Bad ended before jumping the shark though fans were able to get their fill of the universe with the prequel spin-off Better Call Saul (2015-2022) and the Breaking Bad sequel film El Camino.

As most fans probably know by now, the owner of the house hates visitors.  She was already outside yelling at someone else when I got there.  That, combined with the house covered in Halloween decorations and the sun's glare, didn't make this a great location visit, so I'll need to go back. Hopefully she'll be out at a pizza restaurant next time...
