Shows you should be watching

Let's face it, summer in Seattle is pretty weak right now. But at least there's some good tv to come home to at the end of the day. Here are the few shows that have been discussed around the Casual water cooler.

Breaking Bad Season 4
If you haven't seen anything about the show, it's basically about a high school science teacher that works 2 jobs to support his family and all the sudden get's cancer. He starts cooking meth with one of his former students to help pay for treatment and to save up a shit load of money to leave his family in case he eventually dies from cancer.

3 seasons later, of course he's not dying of cancer anymore. Definitely catch up if you haven't watched it yet. Don't let AMC shows like Rubicon affect your opinion of Breaking Bad. Rubicon was a dud. I'm probably the first person to say the word "Rubicon" since it's been cancelled.

Cool thing about Breaking Bad, unlike many tv shows, it's something that could and has happened in real life. I'm from Montana. My middle school art teacher was busted with a meth lab in his basement. A couple years later my buddy's mom told me my dentist was selling/making meth. A show like this makes me wonder why the hell they started cooking in the first place? And was the dentist high on meth while working on my teeth? I'll never know.


Game Of Thrones
I personally haven't watched any of it. I don't have HBO anymore, not to say I can't download it. I'm waiting for Comcast to fuck up my internet so I can ride out another free trial. Dan and AK seem to enjoy it.

From what I've heard from AK, it sounds dope. Swords, Medieval Times, Jousting, Horses getting their heads chopped off with big swords = IM SOLD. The show is based off some fantasy books. AK is not a big fan of reading books. It says a lot when he's read 4 of them. He's has also found a connection between the books and the epic band The Sword. Watch Game of Thrones then listen to The Sword Age of Winters. Then wipe the blood from your nose.


True Blood Season 4
I'll admit, it's not for everybody. You either get it or you think it's stupid. I'd say about 80% of Casual watches it. It's funny, cheesy, but entertaining. I've heard it described as a low budget porno, which makes complete sense.

The story line get's bat shit crazy throughout Season 1-3. Aside from Vampires, there are now Werewolves, Shape-shifters, Fairies, Witches, Were-Panthers, and probably Goblins, Trolls, and Soccer Cousins to come. Like I said, not for everybody.

If not for the vampire pornography, at least watch the opening sequence of the show. It was done by the amazing people at Seattle's Digital Kitchen. Always making great stuff.
