Anyone seen this? It's a show starring the dad from Malcolm in the Middle, and he is NOT like the dad from Malcolm in the Middle. He is a science teacher named Walter White who also works part time at a car wash to support his wife, son, and another child on the way. In the middle of the first episode, he has a coughing fit and faints. Turns out he has lung cancer and has about a year to live. The proceeding scenes, he flips out at the car wash job and quits, goes on a ride along with his brother in law to an arrest at a meth lab, and decides he will cook meth in order to support his family. And that's just part of the first episode.

I've watched 6 of the 7 episodes from the first season so far, and I think it's pretty awesome. A lot of funny moments, and a lot of serious, heavy moments. Like a scene involving "the talking pillow" (works as an example of both.) I hear that Bryan Cranston has won for Outstanding Actor in a Drama Series at the Emmys every year that show has been on so far, and I can see why. The supporting cast is really good too; Aaron Paul, the guy who plays Mr. White's partner, also won an award the first year apparently.

It's a little slow at times, but definitely worth a watch. Anyhoo...
