I disagree Greg. I don't find the morality obvious, deliberate or outstanding in either program. I think both are heavily set in realism and assume a level of intelligence on its audience that is rarely seen in cinema.

Its the fans that worry me and how they interpret the shows.
How many ways are there to interpret a TV show about a eunuch of a high school chemistry teacher who gets fired from his part-time job at a car wash to make ends meet and who ultimately become an international meth-making kingpin who has killed and eliminated the competition, and in the process turned his wife into a corruptible multi-million-dollar money launderer?

I don't know what morality is like in the UK, but that isn't very ambiguous here in the States.

It's even in the show's title, for crying out loud: Breaking Bad. How much more does a TV show have to hit its audience in the head with a sledgehammer to get the point across?

Just wanted to share some good news with you guys.

I went out with some friends for my birthday tonight, and got the greatest cake of all time (count the stars!):

Afterwards I proposed to my girlfriend, and we're now engaged :D
That's awesome, Graham! A very heartfelt congratulations to you. Awesome news for an awesome dude. :martini:

Maybe I misunderstood your point. I don't interpret either to be saying either protagonists behaviour is morally null.
