Synopsis: 

When chemistry teacher Walter White is diagnosed with Stage III cancer and given only two years to live, he decides he has nothing to lose. He lives with his teenage son, who has cerebral palsy, and his wife, in New Mexico. Determined to ensure that his family will have a secure future, White embarks on a career of drugs and crime. He proves to be remarkably proficient in this new world as he begins manufacturing and selling methamphetamine with one of his former students. The series tracks the impacts of a fatal diagnosis on a regular, hard working man, and explores how a fatal diagnosis affects his morality and transforms him into a major player of the drug trade.

Here we have a good guy, teacher of Chemistry in High School. One day, he discovers that he has cancer. In an advanced degree. Lungs cancer. This affects him and he thinks "Well, I'm going to die anyways, I don't care" and starts to cook meth with an old student of his. That's the basic plot everyone have heard.

I've just finished the first season and at the end it has surprised me. I started to watch the series long ago, and I didn't like it at all. The first chapter seemed boring to me. Okey, one man now had cancer, but what else? I just wondered why everyone was so amazed about this series and also drugs are against my ethic.

But.

Second and third episodes were meh. The fourth was good and the rest of the season was better and better, I watched it in one day and I ended up enjoying it. The characters are not strangers anymore, the story goes on and it takes stability, something that first episodes hadn't. I also kinda like more the plot in the following episodes.

About the characters, I'm sorry but I don't like Walt. At all. I can't understand what he's always doing, and what is he thinking. He's a strong man, I don't doubt it, but some things make no sense.
On the other hand, I understand better his wife Skyler, which I heard everybody hates -who knows why-. Finally, the one that I like the most by the moment is Jesse (Walt's "partner in crime"). I think the more I know him, the more he's agreeable to me. And he's very credible as a character.

In conclusion, I think this could be a good series that show you the cruelty of the real world, but also a lot of action and interesting characters. I will continue watching it, we will see how it goes on next season. At this moment I think that the series are worth trying to watch, at least all first season.

Let me know your opinions!

Best wishes,
Cat.
