Whenever I see comments about series that feature "gray" characters, like Breaking Bad, I realize that people have lost the ability to read layers... For them it must be A or B. One day they will realize that human beings do break bad, being complex, contradictory, making bad decisions, being enchanted by power, etc. ( )

The meth-cooking odd couple tries to get their business running.

Intense and fun. The overarching plot doesn't have much direction; the story is basically a series of mechanisms to get the characters to develop the way they want. Not that there's anything wrong with that. That's just the kind of show they're making, and to say they excel at it is a huge understatement. Still, there are a lot of plot strands that seem to be building to something but are just left behind, and it's a much more episodic show than season one was.
