Breaking Bad - Complete 1st Season (2-DVD)

To "break bad," as says the old colloquialism from the American South, is to go so wrong it's almost impossible to do what's right. Walter White is breaking bad. Recently diagnosed with Type III lung cancer, raising a son with cerebral palsy, and in need of a way to support his family, Walter uses his skills to transform himself from nebbishy high-school chemistry teacher to neophyte crystal-meth cook in the blink of an eye. Things become problematic when, not long after Walter and his former student Jesse put together a lucrative cooking operation, the two of them of are assaulted by a pair of drug dealers who accuse Walter of being affiliated with the DEA. But that's just the beginning of his problems: he soon has a dead body on his hands and has yet to even reveal his cancer to his loving wife. As the tragicomic Walter White, Bryan Cranston (MALCOLM IN THE MIDDLE, SEINFELD) deviates from his usual fare to deliver a harrowing, Emmy-winning performance in this pitch-black comedy series from the AMC Network. Included in this box set are all seven episodes from the critically acclaimed first season of BREAKING BAD.
