Breaking Bad for kids in Japan

Sunday, February 23rd, 2014

I was a big fan of the show Breaking Bad. It intrigued me though I came to it very late, I think I started Season 1 during the first half of the airing of the final season.

I wanted to see what all the fuss was about. I’d seen Malcolm in the Middle and thought it was funny for a while. The boys and I both bailed on it when it jumped the shark with the cutting off of the remaining hand of the commandant. The show had been slipping already, but I did like Brian Cranston.

I thought Breaking Bad would be interesting just to see the different character type.

Wow!

I always felt uneasy watching the show but I couldn’t stop watching and I couldn’t wait for it to end.

I asked some of my students in Japan if they were watching and only a few knew about it and less were watching it.

So you can imagine my surprise when I went to the book store near our house and saw a kit for kids to create their own blue crystals.

Must have been more popular than I though 😉
