Breaking Bad: Season 1, Episode 7 “A No-Rough-Stuff Type Deal” (B+)
This show really surprised me. It came through in the end when I did not expect it to at all. Walt has become a sympathetic character despite his relatively silent and unfriendly nature. His scenes with his on-screen wife are some of the best. The show also ends at a perfect moment, which could be self-concluding but could also pave the way for a sophomore season. They have something in place, but like Nancy from “Weeds”, they have gotten in way over their heads with a boss with one hell of a temper. So, against my earlier opinion, I am now rooting for a renewal for this series.
Season grade: B

Once again AMC has proven that it can tell a compelling narrative on par with HBO, and of course, superceding much of what is on the networks. Controversial topics such as those covered in Breaking Bad, allow for deep exploration of character and story that is seldom found. Kudos to AMC and I look forward to any of their future programming...
