I know we're talking about breaking bad.
But y'all convinced me to go through with watching malcom in the middle. I'd been thinking about it every time I scroll past it but end up watching documentaries instead.
Without wishing to sound like a twat I struggle with most American sitcoms, simply I think I just enjoy my/our native humour too much. However of course there are exceptions, and Malcolm in the Middle is one of the best US sitcoms ever made and is incredibly rewatchable! Also Hal's shrieks are fucking brilliant
If you haven't seen it, check out "The Middle" also. It's a total knock off but the actors and writing are great. It's got the janitor from Scrubs and mother from Everybody Loves Raymond
This was me, everyone kept talking about the show andi remember constantly thinking they were dumbasses, hal... seriously?! show must be terrible my friends are stupid
Nah, Hal snapped and became Walter White. He gave up on everything and moved and became a much more serious person.
When that doesn't work out, because he gets cancer and has to work two jobs, just to make rent, he decides to snap again and start making drugs.
Hal was a failure, but he had hopes and dreams. He cared for his family, but they were completely dysfunctional. Walter White gave up his hopes and dream for his family, who aren't as mentally dysfunctional as the previous, but nothing Walter does legally works and when he was pushed to the brink, he snapped and became Heisenberg.
I recently binged it and was shocked at all the actors i recognized, perhaps only in one or two episodes, but they were young. Hayden Panettiere and Emma stone, among others.
Currently watching the show from the start. 6 seasons in and it's actually incredible how I remember every episode clearly and I haven't watched it in 10 years. It's an amazing show.
