Lara Stache is an assistant professor in the Division of Communication, Visual, and Performing Arts at Governors State University (Chicago)"--Provided by publisher. "Breaking Bad is an American crime drama television series which aired for five seasons, from 2008 to 2013. It tells the story of Walter White (played by Bryan Cranston), a struggling high school chemistry teacher diagnosed with inoperable lung cancer. Together with his former student Jesse Pinkman (played by Aaron Paul), White turns to a life of crime by producing and selling crystallized methamphetamine to secure his family's financial future before he dies, while navigating the dangers of the criminal world. The title comes from the Southern colloquialism "breaking bad", meaning to "raise hell" or turn toward crime. Breaking Bad is set and was filmed in Albuquerque, New Mexico. It is widely regarded as one of the greatest television series of all time"--From wikipedia.org website. Genre:  Television criticism and reviews.
