Breaking Bad, Prison Break, and Dexter

 When I found out from a friend on facebook about a show where a high school chemistry teacher began selling methamphetamine, it was not long after that I had the torrents running and megavideo streaming. It was a few weeks before I would begin my freshman year of college, and I was totally hooked on the show. For several days I did nothing at all other than watch the show for hours and hours into the night. Breaking Bad is that show, and it is great from the action, plot twists, depth of characterization, and outright cleverness. I am interested in chemistry so it motivated me toward doing some home chemistry myself, except I never got around to more than burning the lithium from batteries and obviously had no plans of making drugs. Anyway, I later came across the show Prison Break. It has changed so much throughout the seasons. Everything is basically revolving around death threats and blackmail though. I'm still watching the series now and it is very entertaining but you kind of wish for things to not always go wrong or complicate as they do. Everything is always a cliffhanger so it is like a drug you wish you never started but can't give up. Playstation network is down so I have no 'Nicorette' for this addiction. Dexter I began to watch at my friend's house and just watched the first few episodes. It looked to be another great show but differs from the others in that there appears, at least from what I saw, to be some stability rather than one thing after another all of the time. I still need to check out 24 and maybe Weeds but I also need to keep away from spending too much time watching this stuff.
