Breaking Bad
Anybody else been watching "Breaking Bad" on AMC channel?
For those who haven't, it's about a high-school chemistry teacher who finds out he has lung cancer. The doctors say he doesn't have long to live, and he's worried about providing financially for his family, and takes some drastic measures to try to make some money for them.
Using his chemistry skills, he teams up with a former student of his, and proceeds to make crystal meth, in hopes of making a bunch of money to leave to his family after he dies.
He's a strict chemist, and does everything by the book, and ends up producing some of the best crystal meth ever seen in the area. Everybody who tries it wants more of it...
Lots of things go bad, though, when selling it and dealing with the drug dealers who want a piece of the action, and I'm wondering what will happen next. I think there have been five episodes so far..
Here's a link with some clips of it:

[nq:2]Sorry, just sounds contrived. A dying guy turns to one of the worst of crimes, creating life-destroying drugs, to support his family?[/nq]

Well, Breaking Bad isn't a movie, it's a TV series.
So what are your feelings about Scarface?
