As if life was not hard enough, this had to happen.
The thoughts of leaving his pregnant wife and their physically challenged teenage son who had celebral palsy was too much to bear. Telling them of his condition was a sure way of draining the littel funds they had. He had cracked. There was no way he was leaving his wife Skyler to suffer. He had to put his smartness into use and find a way out for his family, at least they would live a comfortable life when he was gone. Maybe this must be why he had to be smart all his life.
Teaming with his former student Jesse Pinkman, White tosses himself into a life of crime like a pro. He had convinced himself that the risks are worth it. A simple Chemistry teacher in a high school in New Mexico now turned criminal genius was something that scared his wife and family to death.
Thanks to his genius brain, Walt and Jesse become names to identify with in the drug world. The Chemistry teacher- turned drug lord has managed to create a signature blue meth, one with the finest crystals in the world.
Money is no lonegr a problem but their fame and rising stardom in the drug world makes Jesse a hot-headed salesman who attracts Walt's DEA brother in-law's attention. However, Walter has turned into a dangerous criminal with cunning ways. The last thing he would do is let his business fall in the wrong hands, worse of all those of his law enforcing brother inlaw. This sees the involvement of a few other individuals as long as Walter remains king.
Breaking Bad is one TV drama that is worth watching and repeating severally. It never gets old.
