Details: New series on AMC starring Bryan Cranston (best known for his role as the father on Malcolm In The Middle) as Walter White. White is a high school science teacher who supplements his meager income working at a car wash. His son is handicapped and he has just turned 50 when he discovers he has inoperable lung cancer. With a prognosis of two years at best, he turns to meth: not using it but rather cooking and selling it an attempt to make money.

I watched the pilot and the first five minutes (after the opening) almost turned me off the show, but then it quickly became interesting. Apparently the season was only slated to have nine episodes to begin with and the writers' strike chopped that back to seven, but we'll see what happens. Some of the stuff is a little fantastic (his newfound assertiveness), but I definitely like it overall.
