REVIEW: ‘Breaking Bad’ — The Best Crime Series on TV Returns
by James HudnallWhen AMC decided to produce original programming, their first series, Mad Men, was a critical home run. It was a show set in a classic time, and AMC, which used to stand for American Movie Classics was a perfectly fine place to run it. But their second show had the strange title Breaking Bad. It was a “dramedy” set in present day, in the dusty town of Kingman, Arizona. I remember thinking at the time, so much for the classic feel. I was wrong.
—–
Breaking Bad is the best crime show currently airing on television. It starts with an original premise. Walter White, played by Bryan Cranston, is a low paid high school chemistry teacher in a dead end job. He has a handicapped son (RJ Mitte) and a wife (Anna Gunn) who doesn’t work. They’re barely making ends meet. And then he gets a bomb dropped on him. He’s diagnosed with terminal lung cancer. Walter’s given less than a year to live.
Looking at his options and his debts, Walter realizes that he will leave his wife and son with nothing. His wife will have to go back to work, which she hasn’t done in years. His son, who has cerebral palsy, will not have much help in life. He’s in high school, but there is no money to send him off to college.
So Walter gets an idea from his brother-in-law, Hank Schrader (Dean Norris). Hank is a DEA agent and the big problem in Kingman are meth addicts. There are a lot of them. Hank talks about how stupid they are and how much money there is in that business. So Walter puts two and two together in his mind. He’s a chemist. He could make drugs far superior to the crap on the market. And he’s smart. Maybe he can out think those people and make enough money before he dies that his family won’t be destitute. But of course, no one in his family can know what he’s planning. The other problem is, Walter has no experience with crime or drugs. He has no idea where to start.
Enter Jesse Pinkman (Aaron Paul), a drop out student of Walter’s who was a high school dealer. Walter contacts Jesse and enlists him with his plan. Walter will use his expertize to make the drugs, Jesse will use his connections to sell them and they’ll split the money. Jesse was going nowhere so he accepts. Hilarity ensues.
Jesse is a clueless punk who think’s he’s smart, like just about any dude in his early 20s. Neither he, nor Walt, have any idea how ruthless the criminals they will have to deal with are. Or how dangerous their new profession is. But they find out the hard way. And the fun comes from Walt pretending to be this boring chem teacher on chemo while trying to keep everyone from knowing that he’s become the most sought after meth manufacturer in the area. His DEA agent brother in law has no idea, as Walk acts like a fumbling Clark Kent keeping his secret identity hidden.
The show was created by X-Files writer/exec-producer Vince Gillian who provides a storyline filled with some of the best twists on TV. Breaking Bad manages to fool you almost every time and yet delivers a satisfying conclusion to each episode. Last season ended with a surprise that was sheer brilliance. They had been setting it up all season and if you watched, you thought you knew what was going to happen. Instead they blew the audience away.
And while the writing is top notch the acting is even better. Gillian does a tremendous job of fleshing out the characters and shows all their sides. The actors rise to the challenge and provide performances that can best be called master classes in acting. Lead by Bryan Cranston who is like a modern day Jack Lemmon, Cranston shows us a character that starts off as a doormat and morphs into a complex man who finds his own inner Scarface while trying to be a loving father and husband. It’s not as simple a task as he may have thought. Aaron Paul as his cohort Jesse is absolutely brilliant as the idiotic partner who manages to screw up just about every plan they hatch. His dialog is some of the most hysterical in the show. The luscious Anna Gunn plays Walt’s wife as a woman entering middle age who’s forced to reenter the working world because she doesn’t trust her husband anymore. Dean Norris’ Hank is someone you think you have pegged as soon as you meet him and then you discover there’s much more depth to this narc who loves the badge. Recent additions like Bob Odenkirk as Walt’s crooked lawyer and Giancarlo Esposito as his mysterious distributor are excellent.
If you loved the Sopranos when it as good, you’ll probably love this. It has a similar flavor.
Breaking Bad returns to AMC this Sunday, March 21st at 10PM/9 Central.

Actually, 'Breaking Bad' is set in Albuquerque, New Mexico. It's one of my favorite shows currently on the air. Can't wait to see more of Walt, Hank, and Jesse. Saul and Gus are great additions and I'm thrilled to hear that they have been made series regulars. Bring on the mayhem!
A great show….I have watched it and thoroughly enjoy it…
I am also a fan of "Breaking Bad", and I'm anxious for the next season (although I thought the ending of the last one was a bit over the top …)
But I'm curious: I have been avoiding "Weeds", because I don't like the lead actress. Checking their release dates, however, shows that "Weeds" came out first … and it seems really similar in basic plot with "Breaking Bad".
Is "Breaking Bad" a rip-off of "Weeds"? And either way, is "Weeds" worth watching?
This sound like my kind of show, No Country for Old Men meets Weeds. Can't go wrong there.
"Breaking Bad" and shows like it (Dexter, the Shield) are exactly what I believe is wrong with today's television writing. Sure, the writing is brilliant, the twists are clever, the acting is excellent, but I'm being asked to sympathize with a murderer, even a serial murderer. Can't we have some real heroes? Can't we have some nobility, self-sacrifice and the kind of character I'd hope to be someday? Instead we get a protagonist with no respect for human life and no real sense of morality.
I was a fan of all three shows I mentioned above, but quit watching in disgust and shame when I found myself cheering for deplorable human beings they portrayed
I apologize to those of you who are fans of these shows, but I believe we need better heroes, not better antiheroes.
Love Breaking Bad, and been anxiously waiting for this new season to begin. It's one of the best shows on TV in my opinion.
I've been fascinated by the transformation of the Walter White character from a frustrated never was to a reluctantly ruthless criminal.
The writers do paint a bleak picture but it is an entrancing one.
Thanks for the heads up. There are precious too few decent shows on t.v. anymore.
Typo spotted: It's "Vince Gilligan," not "Vince Gillian," though he did work with Gillian Anderson.
The underlying premise is wrong. Hollywood wants us to believe that teachers are badly paid. But in reality, a high school chemistry teacher would make pretty good money. Plus, he'd have whole summers off to make extra bucks. Most importantly, for his family, his benefits would be tremendous, including medical and pension.
I'm tired of Hollywood telling us that teachers have it bad. If you can deal with bratty kids, it's actually one of the cushiest professions around.
Weeds has a similar premise, however, it's more of a comedy and it's full of leftist ideology as the writer is a progressive. It's also like a promotion for drug dealing and pot where as Breaking Bad shows that it's really a bad idea to get into the drug business and doesn't condone it. I like Weeds, but I can do without her snide political commentary. She does come up with some clever plot twists, but you usually have to wait until the end of the season to get one. It's also way over the top and the characters aren't very believable.
Well, they don't make them heroes at all. In the case of Breaking Bad they show that the more Walt gets into his business, the more compromised he becomes and the worse it gets for him. If you want a hero on that show, Hank represents the law and is shown as a three dimensional person. He is the moral center. But he is showed as a believable person and not Joe Perfect.
As for Dexter, again, they show that Dexter's life isn't all fun and games and it comes back to bite him. At the lend of the last season his wife was murdered by another killer. And Dexter is more of a vigilante.
The Shield had Mackey boxed in at the end to where he may not be in jail, but he might as well be. These shows do not glorify their deeds. They actually show there are consequences. That to me is better than cartoon good vs evil dramas because I think it's more realistic to show how good people can go bad.
In a state like New Mexico, I doubt they get paid as well as other states.

The show is the best crime series on TV. The only problem? There are barley enough good crime series on TV to give it some competion
That's mostly the impression I received from the promo materials – just a general smug, snarky attitude that has kept me from spending any time on it. I may still check out a show or two, but I'll probably just wait for Breaking Bad to kick off again. Thanks.
Not to belabor the point, but take a look at your own link. It says:
"1. Costs of living in New Mexico are low relative to many other states who offer higher teaching salaries.
2. Healthcare and dental benefits beat out the options most other professions offer."
Funny thing about places that pay less than elsewhere: costs of living are lower, too. Supply and demand, you know.
I've never seen a minute of this show. It looks very good, and I really like Bryan Cranston a lot. His turn as Hal in Malcolm in the Middle was sheer brilliance.
I want to watch it but fear that I'm so far behind that it'll be unwatchable.
Teacher are extremely well paid and fantastic benefits. Most teachers make over 100k ( includes pay and benefits) for 10 months work.
I guess you'd have to say that Weeds and Breaking Bad are similar, but Weeds is much more of a farce in some ways. Weeds lacks the grittiness, tension and emotional intensity of Breaking Bad. While I enjoy Weeds, I do tire of Mary Louise Parker's confused and dryly ironic demeanor. It's as though we're not supposed to believe that she's actually part and parcel of all of the evil she gets involved in. Breaking Bad is much more grounded in a the moral conflict of the lead character's actions, having a weight and impact the Weeds has never had.
Well, being behind a season on Dexter was bound to catch up to me at some point. Wish I hadn't read that middle paragraph.
bryan cranston is grossly underrated as an actor.
They are not heroes. They are protagonists, and technically, antiheroes. I hear you that possibly these shows are cautionary tales, but I don't think that's the effect they have on audiences, and certainly not me, the viewer.
I find myself thinking, "How's Dexter going to get out of this one?" or " What's Walt gonna say to Hank?" and hoping they live to see another day. But IRL, I want to see these types of people taken down as quickly as possible before they can harm other people.
Subconsciously, they become, if not role models, then influences on my thinking. And that's why I now avoid these shows. I'd rather watch something that inspires me to do good, where the protagonist is genuinely brave, principled and moral, wrestling with his darker side, and ultimately winning. I'd rather not watch a show where I have to look to a supporting character to find inspiration.
However, I agree with you that good original writing is refreshing.
Steve, I understand the sentiment, but art has always delved into the darkness of man's soul and certainly The Shield and Breaking Bad have an arc of morality that is brutal to those who cross the line. Weeds is a bit more of a farce, but is still good art and is in some ways a commentary on modern life in ways the other shows aren't.
I would like to also see shows with heroic, noble characters – but the absence of these darker shows wouldn't be a good thing either. Instead, look at what's on prime time on the major networks. If you set aside the insipid reality shows, you'll find more than half of the shows are supernatural – Medium, Saving Grace, Heroes et al – and are so ridiculous in the beliefs and values they represent that I find them unwatchable. Let's replace these with more heroic, inspiring shows, but also keep the darkness.
Sounds like a plan….
It was nice to see Cranston win back to back Emmys for his role in "Breaking Bad".
Parker did the same character on The West Wing; the snarky know it all spouting leftist ideology. She was annoying back then.
You're right. Don't know why I wrote Kingman. I think it was because in one episode they used the Atomic Testing Museum as a meeting place for Walt's crew and that's in Vegas, not far from Kingman.
Check out Human Target on Fox. You have a clearly defined hero who did some things in the past he feels guilty about so he is attempting to redeem himself. It's a show that is a lot of fun and has a great cinematic feel to it. It's pretty apolitical to though oddly what political humor they have had has been closer to the right than the left, including a joke in the premiere about government spending.
I would agree with you on Dexter, he is MOSTLY shown to be on the side of "good" (though the twist at the end of the last season did show the consequences, mostly Dexter's actions result in "positive"). But I don't think you are supposed to sympathize with Walter.
At first, sure you are; his life is completely unfair and he is "forced" into this life of crime. But I see the point of the show (Breaking Bad[slang]= to become bad) is Walter's descent into evil and how everything he touches after this descent turns to poison.
[Many Spoilers]
So far the majority of the show has taken place over about 1 ½ months and in this time he has directly killed 3 people (Jane and the two drug dealers at the beginning), and indirectly cause the deaths of many more. He has destroyed his family, missed the birth of his daughter, further corrupted Jesse, and indirectly caused 2 planes to crash. By the end of the 2nd season Jesse is a FAR more sympathetic character than Walter.
BTW the two scenes when Walter talks to Jane’s father and then watches her die were some of the best I’ve seen on television in a long time.
i actually watched malcolm in the middle b/c of him. just a ball of energy.
Not in New Mexico. Maybe California, NY or NJ. But in a flyover state, not so much.
I just started watching "Breaking Bad" on DVD after hearing the critical cclaim. It is nothing like "weeds" because I believe that Walt regrets what he does and it shows the gritty life of meth addicts, while weeds (which I also watch) makes it seem like drug use is harmless and glorifies the lead character. You can see in BB when each step that Walt takes leads him further down the path, but with no resolution, and each step making things worse. Yet his pride will not let him stop, as his pride has screwed up other things in his past (not taking a research job that would have paid much more.) An excellent show. I cannot wait for season 3
"Malcolm in the Middle" was a great show. Cranston was also terrific in "Seinfeld" and an episode of "The X-Files" called "Drive" (I believe that's how he met Vince Gilligan).
I'm also reminded of the school janitor that helps Walter when he is suffering the aftereffects of chemo. He is shown to be very kind and aids Walter so he can get back to teaching the students. By the end of the episode Walter's actions have gotten him fired and thrown in jail.
Breaking Bad doesn't need heroes. Cranston's character thinks he can dance with the devil and not be changed. This program shows that compromising principles for well intentioned short term gain leads you down a dark path and corrupts even good men. And at some point the good man fades and the deviant criminal grows to dominate everything. An excellent cautionary tale.
Glenn, I like a good dive into the darkness as much as the next guy. But I'd rather take the trip with a hero who knows the difference between right and wrong and has a chance of fighting his way out again.
Great stories always treat evil seriously, and even dive into the badness extremely deeply. Dante took us to the depths of hell, but took us out again.
I suppose I like a good tragedy; I like Macbeth, but I don't think my psyche can handle dwelling on the badness of the bad for more than one season of television.
Show me the redemption of Dexter. Show me Hank facing his crimes, repentant. Show me Mackey realizing his sins. That would be worth watching.
And your point on the ridiculousness of Hollywood's supernatural stories is well taken. I really don't think today's writers really understand true evil, true spirituality, or true goodness.
Mad Men was not AMC's first original series. Remember WENN was, back in the late 1990s.
Weeds is a pretty interesting show, but the hits on conservatives are the least clever part over all. The insults are generally out of place (perhaps randomly added by manitees).
That is one crap drug they have decided to wrap human emotion and sympathies around.
Yes, but $50,000 income a year in New Mexico gives you the same standard of living as $100,000 in California. There are web sites that can calculate these comparisons for you. A brand new 2000SF house can be had in NM for under $200,000. Same house in CA is easily 3X to 4X as much.
In the first season, it was mentioned that he made just a little less than 50K per year.
One of the important parts of Breaking Bad is the fact that its meth, a hardcore evil drug. Weeds plays around with marijuana as a relatively harmless drug, so its able to dance around some of the edgier moral questions. Breaking Bad makes the moral decision sharper. Most people would agree to do something dubious to provide for their family if push came to shove. Breaking Bad just forces the question without pulling any punches. Its a morality play more than a narrative.
Absolutely
Mauther's comment below does a great job of explaining why it works here
You're piece convinced me. I'm going to watch it.

Actually, the National Atomic Museum (technically, the National Museum of Nuclear Science and History) is in Albuquerque, NM.
Do you like The Closer? I resisted for awhile because it was receiving so much critical acclaim — I figured it was in the model of The Shield. The Shield it is not — Brenda Johnson is a real hero.
Let me clear up a little misconception.
I'm not poorly paid. But I also have two masters degrees, and have been doing this for 22 years. I'm at the very top of my profession in terms of experience and education.
I'm paid near the bottom of the scale for someone with my education and experience, compared to someone in the private sector.
Almost every summer, I've been in school or teaching summer school, or. as you said, working to make a few extra bucks.
As far as benefits go, I pay almost $900/month for my "great" benefits package. I also get no paid vacation, my 2 weeks off at Christmas are unpaid, the week of spring break is unpaid, and summers are unpaid. Except for 3 professional development days, if kids aren't in school, I don't get paid.
I love the kids, and love what I do, but please–I'm not overpaid.
von,
Haven't seen The Closer. I have a couple of shows to check out now. The Closer and as Veruckt mentioned above, Human Target.
Ah, Dude! Did you not make your choices in life? My 'benefits' cost me plenty too and I am in the private sector working many more hours than you do, obviously. That is the cost of doing business. If you are paid a SALARY then you ARE getting paid for all of those 'unpaid' 30 to 40 days of holidays. You also have the opportunity to have other jobs and your own business using your 'Education and Experience' as well. If you don't get off your duff, just who is to blame?. So don't play that Oh Poor Me, It's For The Children' broken record. It isn't even in the top 40.
I agree about Human Target. It's currently one of my Fav's. So far it's pretty apolitical and that is refreshing. I just hope the writing doesn't veer too far to the left and ruin the good ride.
Teachers make $100,000? Geez, I wish. I've been teaching 15 years…I make 47, 000. Not bad, but not great. But I am also taking out school loans so that I can get my master's and make a couple extra grand each year. We haven't had a raise for two years because of the economy, but our insurance has gone up each year, so I'm actually making less now than I did two years ago, and I'm in debt from my student loans! As for summer's off, well, I take classes and teach summer school…and during the school year I work 50-60 hours a week, since I have 180 kids (legally the state says I can only teach 150, but nobody actually cares) and I teach English, so I have to grade research papers, essays, projects, etc. They just turned in portfolios that are 12 pages each, so I have over 2100 pages of grading to do (for this one assignment!).
Breaking Bad, The Sheild, The Wire, The Sopranos, Sons of Anarchy…. None are from the major networks.. Get the picture?
Excellent show! I didn't even start watching it until just before the 2nd season premier, when I happened to have some time on a Saturday afternoon and they had the entire season 1 available for viewing. I was hooked from the opening sequence with the RV out in the boonies, approaching sirens and a man in his underwear holding a gun and making a tape recording as he waited for the authorities. And the other poster had it right… Walt thinks he can do what he's doing and not have it affect him or his loved ones, but you know the end will be very, very bad… even if he beats cancer.
You make a very good point. It's good to step back and take a good look at what you like and dislike and more importantly why you like or dislike something then make the appropriate adjustment. I'm with you that society has become a group of bad boy lovers.
Your comment made me hopping mad, until I realized you'd meant to write "barely" and not the other ingredient of one of my favorite beverages.
Hank, get the DVD's of seasons 1 and 2. There are fewer episodes per season than your typical tv show so it won't take long to get caught up. You will not be disappointed. It's dark, but also very funny in a twisted way. Saul Goodman, Walt's lawyer, is an absolute scream.
I've gotta agree. Also, The Wire is the most unrecognized series, ever. No Emmys for anything, Great writing, acting, directing. I bought the box set, re-watched the series, and saw connections that I never realized were there the first time around.
Truly an under-rated series.
i think it's an AWFUL show. the whole point of everything Walt does is to benefit his wife and son after his demise. but the problem with that is that his wife is a jealous, suspicious, unlikeable shrew and his son is of the age where he doesn't want anything to do with his father… even to the point of choosing a new name for his friends to call him. all of the other main characters are awful, unlikeable people. Walt especially. if it were a cautionary tale about one man's rationalizing his own descent from good to bad, then that would be one thing. but the show asks you to spend time with a collection of people, doing dumb and annoying things, while at the same time being irritating to watch. i read all the hype about the show and was so thoroughly disgusted by "these people" after completing the 2nd season finale, i decided it wouldn't get 1 more minute of my time. don't get me wrong… Bryan Cranston does a great job acting. but the character is awful and you can't root for him because he comes to know that his wife is awful, so it's hard to believe that his great "sacrifice" is worthwhile on any level. it's crap TV. well acted, but still crap.
for complex anti-heroes, i'd take Deadwood over Breaking Bad any day of the week.
I sorry, but as I understand it, the teacher blackmails some kid who is in recovery into doing his dirty work? That was how the plot was described to me. All my friends praised this series when it first aired a few years ago. I was appalled. The teachers actions are reprehensible. Meth is insidious. The recovery rate of those who seriously try to get clean is 3%. The only way to stay clean is to get as far from it as possible. Risking the sanity of some dumb kid is unconscionable. In reality, the boy would most likely relapse and never be able to get clean again. His life is over. Of course, I might have heard wrong, but as it stands, I can not bring myself to watch this show to find out for myself. Meth is pure evil.
How can any conservative praise a show who's main character is a virtual murderer and who's whole premise glorifies moral relativism.
BTW, this is the only time in my life that I have had the reaction to a show like I have had with this one. But as a former addict who is only here because of the Grace of GOD, and the transforming power of His Spirit, I think I can be excused.
I have NEVER watched a show religiously. As a matter of fact I get more enjoyment from telling people I have NEVER seen the show they are talking about (think Seinfeld!)
There is something about this show that MAKES me watch it. I think I know why, when I first saw the show I was also going through some tough times and I could not bring myself to tell my wife. I saw a connection in me with Walt. Don't worry, I don't do drugs and have since told my wife what an idiot I was. As it turns out she already knew! Go figure. She HATES the show and finds it disturbing. Just the soundtrack gets to her. I came in on the second season and am now catching up on season 1. Late at night of course.
There is something about this show…………………..
The Wire is still the best crime show ever IMO
Can't win 'em all. At least Breaking Bad is still coming out.
Well, I am not exactly a conservative. I call myself a para-realist. Never had an interest in drugs or booze, but I know people who had addictions and went through that hell. I understand your pain. But to me good fiction deals with real issues. And this show is a morality tale. However, if it's not your thing, there;'s no reason for you to watch it.
Amen! If teaching is so bad, why do so many people choose teaching as a career. Don't get me wrong; nobody is saying teachers are wealthy, nor should they be. There are 260 work days in a year of the Monday-Friday work week. Those not teaching have to work ALL of those days; without spring, summer and Christmas breaks. Most company executives work 6 to 7 days a week. Break the annual salaries into hourly wages, and teachers get paid just fine for what they do. And before teachers get all indignant and snippy with me, I too have a teaching degree, but opted to work in the private business sector so I could afford a better life for myself and my family. All I really have to say is…you just gotta love our government-mandated education.
Breaking Bad is by far the best show on television. Every episode blows my mind. It's so intense. I love it and urge everyone I know to watch it.
Hey James! Thanks. I really like this series and I found it to be one of the best I have seen on cable channels. I saw all of season 1 and it was remarkably entertaining with better acting than most of the TV shows that won Emmies this year. Season 1 is available on NetFlix and in the Instant queue if anyone is interested in seeing it. The show is set in querque, New Mexico and mirrors the lifestyle perfectly. My son went to college at UNM so I have a point of reference concerning the meth problem there. My son had to constantly avoid it and since he was a college student, avoiding the drug underculture was not easy. I look forward to the 2nd season!
Tell 'em Yote!
I've seen what addiction does. I've seen what meth does. This is why I don't like this show. So I shut it off after a few episodes, when I realized Walt had become a serial killer, a drug dealer, and a VERY bad man.
If it's a morality tale, after seeing one episode, we GET IT! Meth is the devil. Compromising your principles leads to pain. I don't need to wallow in that. The message was given in Episode One. And that message should have been received by its audience. Staying around to follow Walt's (truly evil) exploits doesn't help anyone.
Toying with evil is a sure way to be seduced by it. You start to rationalize, to think there's justification, to think that, maybe, all things considered, it's not all that bad. I'm no Pollyanna, Lord only knows, but the things you fill your head with end up filling your thoughts.
Sorry I'm ranting a little here, but I've met a few people like DesertYote, who have conquered addiction. A very few. I've met many more who have been destroyed, even killed by it. That's the reality. Hanging around with Walt, an unrepentant serial murderer, manipulator, and victimizer (even through a TV screen) is no way to become a better person.
Evil is evil. Stay away from it. 100%.
And DesertYote, hang in there. Staying clean is a lifelong trek, but so rewarding. I am a fan.
I didn't start watching Breaking Bad until I caught up with the Season 1 marathon just before Season 2 premiered. It is by far the best written and acted series on television now. For me, it is about a moral man who makes a desperate, immoral choice to take care of his family. But each step he takes results in more serious and more horrible consequences. I've seen interviews with the creator of the show who said that this will probably run about 4 seasons. I dare say that I don't think it will end well for Walt. For those that are curious, I'll ask you to just watch the first three episodes of Season 1. The third episode of that season really clinched it for me (it's the Walt/Crazy Eight episode). The first season runs 7 episodes and was cut short by the writer's strike. I thought Season 2 far exceeded the first season with each episode standing on its own leading up to the brilliant finale. I only hope they can keep it up and I'm looking forward to Season 3.
I discovered this show three episodes in during season 1 on a rainy sick day off from work. I stumbled across it Free on Demand and watched the first episodes and there was Walt running around in tighty whities in a dusty RV. I was hooked ever since. And I made it my mission to get my entire family hooked on it as well, including my uptight father. INCREDIBLE WRITING AND ACTING. Wish they didn't kill Jane though.
As an added tip, check your local library. Many libraries now have DVDs available for check out. I missed some episodes of the first season and got the DVD from my library.
You should reconsider having a union represent you and begin representing yourselves. You'll do much better; I guarantee it. What most people don't know is unions actually keep wages lower and many companies put up with the hassle of unions because they know it keeps wages lower than if they had to pay for non-union workers.
Fantastic show, arguably the best on TV. The writing has been incredibly consistent, I can't say I've seen a single bad episode so far. I also think the photography is simply stunning, so much love for the details. And of course I won't have to say much more about the acting.
I'm very happy it's back!
I never once complained. In fact, I said I was pretty well paid. I just pointed out the misconception that people have that we get all this time off and are paid in the summer for not working.. Also, I'm not paid a salary. I'm paid a daily rate of pay per day of work. I'm NOT paid for summers and Christmas, etc…, no matter what you think. Also, you don't work more hours than I do. You have no clue. Obviously, you are someone undereducated drone who wishes he could get out of that minimum wage job at McDonald's. It would help if you read the whole comment.
Apparently you can't read and retain so I will repeat – Ah, Dude! Did you not make your choices in life? Also your elitist, condesending tone is a dead giveaway as to who you really are. I am in IT, highly respected in my profession, a published author, senior architectural advisor to one of the largest companies in the US, probably make 3 times more than you, have a college education and made my choices well in life You on the other hand are whining about your choice so buy a clue.
yes, she is not likeable, i found it hard to have any sympathy for her..talking about his wife..i love the show, look forward to opening episode, the plane crashes…
