99 Words About … The addictive high of ‘Breaking Bad’

Sixteen episodes. Eight this summer, eight the next.

That's all that's left of "Breaking Bad" (10 p.m. Sunday, AMC), one of this generation's greatest dramas.

So wonderful are Bryan Cranston - whose journey from meek chemistry teacher to despicable meth kingpin has been as shocking as it's been mesmerizing - and Aaron Paul - as his ex-student, partner and ultimate victim - each remaining moment with them is one to savor.

If you haven't seen it, "Breaking Bad" is one of the reasons they invented Netflix.

Just take your time.

It's a viewing pleasure as pure and addictive as the product they cook.
