Now in more detail; I know I'm a bit late on the bandwagon, but I completely missed the Breaking Bad train when it started, went full steam ahead and finished. Better late than never, I suppose
Anyway, the pilot episode was fantastic story-telling, showing how a chemistry teacher with cancer becomes the perfect crystal meth cook. I honestly think this is the best set-up since I first watched Dexter. Its funny, tragic, witty, bad-ass, horrifying, smart and our protagonist is a Chemisty teacher who starts to cook Meth. Absolutely brilliant.
Bryan Cranston is fantastic as our protagonist who is this middle-aged man having a serious mid-life crisis and almost completely losing it. All the characters which were (perfectly) introduced have brilliant quirks and I can really see them working well together. It's a lovely set-up with family issues, friends in the DEA, douchey high-school kids, people in the drugs circle... I'm really looking forward to the rest of the series and I'm seriously wondering why I left it so long.
