A few months ago, we finally decided to heed the advice and start watching. In a matter of a few weeks, we had watched all 4 seasons, and started foaming at the mouth for the 5th and final season (which will be some time in 2012).
This is one of the best dramas on television to date. Complex, intriguing characters; wacky, insane storylines; fast, yet witty and enthralling dialogue. Thank goodness we started with seasons that were already finished because once one episode would end, we couldn't wait to start another.
For those who don't know, the series is about Walter White, a somewhat shy, introverted high school science teacher, who is diagnosed with lung cancer. His prognosis is not good, and he is worried about how his family (pregnant wife, Skylar, and teenage son with CP, Walter, Jr.) will survive after he's gone, financially. He decides to use his brilliant science knowledge to manufacture the purest and most sought after meth amphetamine in the area. He teams up with an old high school student of his, named Jesse Pinkman, who is not the sharpest pencil in the box, which is putting it lightly. Oh, and did I mention that Walt's brother-in-law is a DEA agent? Yeah, it's definitely an interesting ride.
The writers do a great job of creating a show with characters that you don't always like, but you always end up rooting for. The characters are fallible. They are cruel at times, and then unbelievably caring and sweet.
Jesse has become one of my favorite characters, even though he's not always easy to like, and I want to reach through the T.V. and shake his stupid head. My favorite thing about him is his constant use of the word "bitch" to refer (mostly) to men, and often not at the appropriate time at all.
This video is a fantastic compilation of Jesse's best bitch moments:
