Way overqualified high school chem teacher Walther White finds out he's got terminal cancer. With a new baby on the way and with a disabled teenage son, he feels scared and desperate about not leaving his family with nothing. His brother-in-law is a DEA agent and takes Walther on a ride-a-long to see a drug bust (IIRC as a birthday gift?). Walther learns that crystal meth is selling like hot cakes, so he decides to go into business for himself and his loved once. Badassness ensues. Also, he picks an unlikely partner in crime and they are just great together.

Just to add to that otherwise good synopsis, what makes this such a great setup is that you have to remember that Walt is a highly educated straight arrow guy, who has worked as a mild-mannered high school teacher for most of his life. While he is an extremely talented chemist (who had some unlucky breaks), and is capable of producing spectacularly high-quality meth, he has no idea how to lead a life of crime. He finds many opportunities to get in way over his head with people he is totally unequipped to deal with. It's really well done, and all the actors are great too.

Oh man. Thats a great synopsis from both of you. Is Bryan Cranston in that? What channel is it on, and when? Sounds like a show I would like. I hope its on HBO. I just got it. ;D
shmokes:
It's AMC, which you presumably have if you have HBO. I think it's on Sundays (I don't watch it live).

He's Walther White.
Ginsu Victim:
He hasn't looked like that in a long time.

Yeah, but for someone wanting to pick up season 1, it's kinda a spoiler. :lol
