'Breaking Bad' is Freaking Good

My husband and I just watched disc 1 of Season 1 of "Breaking Bad", a show that's on AMC.  It's the gripping story of a highly qualified chemistry teacher who decides to start cooking crystal meth to support his family, an issue of immediate concern, since he is diagnosed with terminal lung cancer.  Watching the first three episodes, you become drawn to the main character, Walter. We became so sympathetic to his situation that by the end we just wanted something good to happen to him. Even now, 20 minutes after watching these first three episodes, I still feel anxious about where his life's going.  I'll be praying for Walter until Netflix sends us disc 2.
Great show, incredible writing and phenomenal acting by Bryan Cranston.
