At the request of my closest friends, I began watching the hit series Breaking Bad on Netflix about two months ago. If you have lived under a rock for the past ten-or-so years, as I apparently have, the show highlights the life of a dying chemistry teacher named Walter White, who calls on a former student named Jesse to begin producing and selling methamphetamine.
Spoiler alert: in same tune as movies like Goodfellas and The Wolf of Wall Street, after enjoying relative, quiet success, Walter’s life turns off the rails, as his meth business becomes increasingly pressurized and illicit.
