Countdown to Breaking Bad Begins…Start Catching Up Now!

Did you  miss live commenting Walking Dead with us earlier this year?  Don’t miss out this summer!  We will be hosting live commenting on Sunday nights watching AMC’s Breaking Bad.   It all starts on Sunday July 15 at 10pm eastern time and every Sunday this summer.    Now in its fifth and final season, Breaking Bad has thrilled and captivated audiences for years, earning 6 Emmy awards including three consecutive Outstanding Lead Actor in a Drama Series Awards for its star, Bryan Cranston.

We’re announcing this now to give newcomers a chance to get caught up with the show.  If you’re looking for the quick version, here is all you  need to catch up, courtesy of amctv.com.

Breaking Bad follows protagonist Walter White (Bryan Cranston), a chemistry teacher who lives  in New Mexico with his wife (Anna Gunn) and teenage son (RJ Mitte) who has cerebral palsy. White is diagnosed with Stage III cancer and given a prognosis of two years to live. With a new sense of fearlessness, and a desire to secure his family’s financial security, White chooses to enter a dangerous world of drugs and crime, where he ascends to power. The series explores how a fatal diagnosis, such as White’s, releases a typical man from the daily concerns and constraints of normal society and follows his transformation from mild family man to kingpin of the drug trade.
