Okay so I'm just getting around to watching this, don't give me a hard time. This has one of the best concepts for a TV series in recent memory - high school teacher with lung cancer decides to make money by making crystal meth - done with intelligence and skill. I didn't love it as much as other people - maybe because it's set in the desert, or something. Or it feels a little grotty. Just being honest.
Superbly made though - and I really love how they extracted every ounce of juice out of pieces of story. Deaths aren't casual, they are hard - and pay off down the track; making money from selling drugs is hard, but not as hard as life in the lower middle classes in contemporary America. Brilliant acting.
