The Season Two finale of AMC's "Breaking Bad" aired last night, which means that I've officially run out of TV series to follow for the summer (suggestions?), but the bigger point here is this:
If you're not watching this show, your life took a horribly wrong turn somewhere. Sorry, but that's a fact.
All 13 episodes of this season weren't merely good, they knocked it out of the goddamn park. Even "The Sopranos" and "Deadwood", in their best seasons, didn't accomplish THAT.
Your guess is as good as mine as to what two of the best series on television are doing on a network named American Movie Classics, but then again, I have no fucking clue what movies like "Chain Reaction" are doing on there either.
In any case, if you missed the boat on this puppy, it's easily rectified. Rent Season One. Thanks to me and my WGA brethren shortening last year's TV seasons for reasons too complicated to go into here, it's only eight (44-minute) episodes long, so you can knock that out in two nights, easy.
Then you can even watch the entire Season Two premiere online here. (And while you're over there, incidentally, you can watch any episode of "The Prisoner" you want. How great is that?) (If you've never seen "The Prisoner"...Again, somewhere along the way, you made a terrible mistake.)
Then you can rent the rest of Season Two from Amazon for $2 a pop, or just wait for the reruns or the DVDs (but do you really want to wait that long?) (Hint: No.)
And okay, yes, it's Bryan Cranston, the dad from the odious "Malcolm in the Middle", but he fucking rocks, and that's all I'm going to say about it.
Just trust me on this. Watch the show.
You're welcome.
