A wicked twist this tale takes.
To be honest, this season of Breaking Bad on AMC was starting to lag. It started with a bang, literally, with the introduction of The Cousins a pair of bloodthisty killers with absolutely no remorse bent on seeking revenge for the death of their cousin Tuco.
If you watched last season you know Tuco was the distributor for Mr. Walter White and Jesse, manufacturers of the best meth on the planet. He was killed in a shootout with Walt's brother in-law ( boy, those brother in-laws!) DEA Agent Hank Schrader. Agent Schrader is hot on the trail of our anti-heroes and comes ever so close to busting them redhanded trapped inside their mobile methlab. They are cornered with no way out.
When you're cornered with no way out...
They narrowly escape when Agent Schrader receives a call from a 911 dispatcher that his wife has been seriously injured in a car accident and rushes to be by her side. He soon discovers the call was bogus, but not before Walt and Jesse watch the RV crushed to oblivion along with any physical evidence. Agent Schrader is pissed. Now, it's personal.
Exciting, no? But wait, there's more.
Remember The Cousins? They haven't forgot about Walt. That's personal, too. The only thing standing between them and their vendetta with Mr. White is a powerful man, Pollos. He's Walt's new distributor and business partner. Even he is unable to control The Cousins bloodlust, but he can buy some time to recoup his investment by distracting them. He points them in the direction of the man that pulled the trigger on Tuco, Agent Schrader.
The weeks of setting this complex chain of events into motion are now apparent. The writers had to put all the pieces into place for this puzzle to come together. It makes for a dramatic, heart pounding, edge of your seat ride for the remainder of this season.
Breaking Bad, Sunday nights on AMC.
Don't miss it.

I could not agree more. It is the best thing on tv. Period.
Alright- you're never wrong on stuff like this, I'll give it a try. The ads when it started off though didn't make it look very good IMO (a judgement I'M rarely wrong about.
It might be a bit hard to follow since you're starting in the middle of the story. But trust me, it's a fantastic show.
You'd never guess the guy that was the goofy Dad on "Malcolm in the Middle" is the same guy playing the world's greatest meth cook.
And I was right, Agent Schrader took it VERY personal!
