Breaking Bad



A show that truly breaks the boundaries of regular entertainment.  Our protagonist Walter White, a mild-mannered high school science teacher with a son with cerebral palsy, finds out that he has terminal cancer and decides that he must do what he has to, to make sure that his family will survive without him.  We follow along in the series as Walter is forced to make compromises on his personal morality to ensure his family's survival once he is gone.  Those compromises include becoming a methamphetamine chemist nicknamed Heisenberg (with matching hat) and all of the complications that come with it.  There is no better example of how personal morality can be corrupted by the greater need of personal responsibility for your family on television.
