About two years ago, I was really depressed. I had to get over a relationship breakup, deal with shitty jobs, and sort out my MA thesis report. Ergo, I was going nowhere. I felt like a lost-and-found office deep inside -finding comfort in my friends was not really an option for me, as I was very ashamed of not being capable of solving my own problems (vicious circle), so I didn´t want to talk to anyone about my misery. The only thing I had in mind at that time was to find myself by myself ASAP -not a very good idea at all! I started going for long walks at nights to watch people's faces and see the city lights melting away time and time again. I remember going to bookshops and compulsively buying lots of books. I read them at any place and anytime. As a result of this, I didn't have any schedule at all. I usually went to bed at 6:00am and got up at 7:00am. In the middle of one of those productive nights, I came across a TV show that would become a life-changing experience forever: Breaking Bad.
Okay, that's sort of trying to get better by listening to Pink Floyd's The Wall or Radiohead's OK Computer -very easy-going!
Breaking bad is the story of Walter White, an ordinary American man, and his journey to the dark side. After a series of unfortunate events -terminal lung cancer, no health coverage, a frustrating teaching job and his wife pregnancy, he decided to become a crystal-meth cook, a drug dealer, and save the day:
"Gus: What does a man do, Walter? A man provides for his family. Walt: This cost me my family! Gus: When you have children, you always have family, they will always be your priority, your responsibility. And a man… a man provides. And he does it even when he’s not appreciated, or respected, or even loved, he simply bears up, and he does it, because he’s a man."
Before you write, try to think about the following:
- why you like that TV show / movie (personal review)
- What it is about(storyline)
- credits (cast/director/photography)
- favourite episode/scene
- favourite actor's line
- any detail you deem worth sharing.

The beauty of (paying attention to) simple things

Breaking bad is a highly addictive TV series. I remember watching a whole season in a row without sleeping. The reason why I love it is that everything in it is just perfect. Nothing could have been done in a much better way. It's a highly brain-stimulating show. The dialogues are extreamly philosophical, addressing many socially-entangled phenomena, such as the decay of the American dream, personal and social detachment, and many-many topical issues.
My favourite dialogue is the one in which Jesse and Jane talk about the pleasure of doing things more than once: The beauty of (paying attention to) simple things.
