I agree, Sopranorleone.
Best show since The Sopranos.
TIS, It not exactly a comedy, But it contains a lot of humor. Definitely recommend watching it. The originality of the show is brilliant. Acting is superb.
The hero and the coward both feel the same thing, but the hero uses his fear, projects it onto his opponent, while the coward runs. It's the same thing, fear, but it's what you do with it that matters. Cus D'Amato

AWESOME show dude, your right, one of the best idea's around currently. Who'da thunk Bryan Cranston could deliver the goods so well? To me, that character is like his Tony Soprano; he's owned the role, and his work is being recognized.
Love the idea, dig the story-lines, totally sympathize with Walt. I mean, the poor guy not only has a shitty teaching job that he could have done so much better than, with students that constantly break balls and give him a hard time, not only has he got a naggy wife with a bun in the oven, as well as a mell-meaning son who suffers from Cerebral Palsy, after all this, he gets diagnosed with cancer, the poor bastard. And thats all in the first episode. Sheesh. I for one, while recognizing what he resorts to is essentially wrong, cant judge him to harshly. Its gonna be done in any case, why not his product?
It captures that seedy, run-down and dangerous vibe you notice in all those American West Meth Epidemic documetary's.
I hate Jesse Pinkman. I argue with my brother over this, cuz he like's the character; thinks he's "cool". I hate his snivelling face, his voice, his clothes, his whole look. Mind you, i hate the character. I think Aaron Paul plays him well enough, though not as inspired as some. Jesse's three goons (Badger, Combo and Skinny Pete) are played to a slightly stupid, thuggish and sleazy perfection, and the "bad-guys", the rival dealers, are pretty mean; especially that Tuco. The guy outta Blood In, Blood Out, a Vato Loco? the dude getting high with Joselito, who pass out while the kid od's on the leftover heroin? He always plays the mexican thug/home-boy, and in thois he plays a murderous psychopath. The cast are capable, but in particular i enjoy R.J Mitte's scene's, Walt's son. The guy really has Cerebral Palsy (i actually thought he was acting at first) and most of the young dude's scenes are just awesome. I mean, some of his are the most powerful scenes in the series, and his are relegated to Walts home-life, away from the streets! Dean Norris goes alright as well, though the guy looks like the Thing, not necessarily a bad thing. Giancarlo Esposito comes in through season 2 as a high-level meth dealer, and Danny Trejo gets a small cameo as well (the knife guy in Desperado) The first series was only six episodes long, which i though would be the norm for it. Apparently though, it was simply on account of the 2007/8 Writers Strike, and the second series ran for a full twelve episodes. Happily, i learnt a while back that a third series is definetly in production with plans for a fourth. They've shown the first two series where i am.
Love it, love it, love it. Love it.
