Anyone else catch this series on AMC, starring the father from "Malcolm In The Middle" as a 50 year old teacher diagnosed with terminal lung cancer who starts cooking up meth in an RV.
Just about finished watching the first episode. Starts a bit slow, but the dark humor gets going toward the end. Looks like it could be a pretty good twisted show.

The second episode seems to be catching its stride. They have this drug dealer chained up in the basement (with one of those U bicycle locks), hoping that he'll die from the events of the previous episode. At some point he wakes up completely and our hero decides to take care of his needs. The scene starts with him sliding over water and a plate with sandwiches... a moment later comes a bucket. In case you fail to grasp the obvious, about three beats later, a roll of toilet paper rolls into the scene. Then, after you think it's all over, hand soap.

I'm a big BB fan. Season one stands as some of the best TV I've ever seen.
There's a lot I haven't liked about season three -- the pacing, general story direction, Skyler's role -- but tonight's episode was pretty damn good. A return to form.
Next week is the finale -- an extended episode at one hour forty minutes!

This season seems oddly decompressed -- strange for a show with only 13 episodes. When you see just how much Vince Gilligan can accomplish in an hour -- the pilot episode is incredible -- the slower pace, with several episodes feeling padded, is disappointing.
Still, it's a very compelling show and I'm with it for the full ride.
I found last season to be a bit uncomfortable to watch. Not necessarily in a bad way, but they seemed to be doing something incredibly stupid (and totally in character) every episode. This season seems to be about them both finding a bit of breathing room and watching the stupidity pile up before it hits.
And I'm actually kind of glad they did SPOILER. There's only so far you can push something like that before characters start looking really stupid. Their actions are going to get noticed and people are going to put two and two together. A bit of a game changer, had a few dicey moments in the execution but I think they've come out the other side pretty well. Haven't watched the last two episodes yet.
