Breaking Bad: A Subversive Not-Too-Guilty Pleasure

by Liberty and Power

The season finale of Breaking Bad is tonight. It is well worth watching both for entertainment value and subversive implications. The hero is a kind-hearted high school teacher who opens up a crystal meth lab and a chief villain is his boastful, stupid, and abusive narc brother-in-law. All the previous shows can be downloaded here.

I've been following the series since it first aired. It's definitely one of the best written and most subversive shows currently in production.
