blind men and elephant fish : Breaking Bad

So I started watching this show "Breaking Bad." Its about a broke chemistry teacher who learns he is going to die from lung cancer in a year or so and starts making and selling the drug meth. So far its not bad but certainly hasn't reached the heights of "The Wire" or "Sopranos" or the first couple years of "Starship Galactica." Anyone have any other show recommendations?

UPDATE: After watching a few more episodes I've decided this show is cliche. It tries to be provocative about "what would you do if you knew you only had 6 months to live?" and make people "think" about the legality/morality of drugs. Thats boring. Drugs should be legal and if you aren't living your life now to the fullest then you are obviously wasting your time (in my book).
