and you are right Ronny, AMC ordered more episodes during this production cycle. But unfortunately, this will be the end. Writers and producers decided at the outset to limit it to a 4 year life span.
It's a crime that "Breaking Bad" is on AMC vs HBO or another cable outlet with better visibility and promotion. All you have to do is tell someone the 2 sentence plot scenario and they will look at you like crazy... " a high-school chemistry teacher finds out that he has cancer and not long to live. He decides to cook meth for the cash, distribute it with a former student and gets involved with the Mexican narco-cartel....and oh yeah, his brother in law is with the DEA."
As involved as I was with the first and second season, it didn't even occur to me that the star of the show (Bryan Cranston) is the same guy who was the father in "Malcolm in the Middle." Incredible transformation and acting job.
The critics, Globes and everyone else recommend it. If you decided to watch, go back and start at season 1, please.
