Breaking Bad- Cranston is fantastic. I love the fish out of water concept anyway, but to watch this decent man basically trade in his soul for the future of his family is spellbinding. The characters are a little sterotypical, but not too heavy handed. The son with palsey is a different character, tho. Normally kids on TV with disabilities are either developmentally disabled, or they're defined by the disability. Jr. is just a normal kid who happens to use crutches. It's refreshing to see a character like that.
Dexter- Serial killers. How wrong can you go? I've never read the books, but I'm fascinated by the Code and the backstory of Harry teaching him how to get away with murder. That mentality just hooks me right in. You realize your kid's a psychopath, so you instill this Code in him, rather than getting him help to fight his urges. Brilliant episodic TV.
Big Love- Sopranos for radical LDS types. Mormonism in general, and the Principle in particular, has always interested me. Mormons are obsessed with history, like I am, but they also use history as a tool for their own ends. Kinda like me, too. The characters are very believable and sympathetic. The storylines are realistic, with little tweaks that just smack of believability. Rhonda, the Prophet's child bride and her overinflated ego. I'm sure that in a lot of child bride homes, there's a favorite who, while being victimized by adults, is all about using their status to lord over everyone else. Lots of twists and turns.
The Office (USA Version)- Brilliant stuff. What more can be said. Great ensemble cast, out of the box writing.
Kings- I really liked Kings and am bummed it tanked. It was just different from anything else on TV.
