Walter and Jessie And Some Meth
Posted by Mr Drayton on 7 October 2011 - 1:50pm.
What's it called?:
Breaking Bad Series 1,2 & 3
What It Sounds Like:
It sounds like a good idea at the time. Your life has turned to shit. You're working in a car wash when you're diagnosed with terminal cancer. You are though, a whiz at chemistry. Jessie and you hook up to make some meth to make some money to cover your medical costs.
You're very good at what you do and this attracts interest from all sorts of mad folk. That's where the fun begins. From bad ass crazy old Tucco and his bell ringing Dad, through to the Mexican brothers sat, waiting for you to finish showering, so they can rent you asunder with their shiny new axe, to Hank in the supermarket car park waiting for his assassins. It's far from what you thought you'd be doing when you set out to make some money to protect your family.
What Does It All "Mean"?:
When you stray from the path of righteousness, you better have a good guide to help you by, preferably one who doesn't smoke meth. It's an incredibly moral tale, as in science, every action has a reaction. Often with heartbreaking consequences.
Goes well with...:
A quiet week in, because, like the meth, once it's got it's hooks in you, it's not letting go.
Might Suit People Who Like...:
The Wire, Mesrine, Twin Peaks, The Good Life.
