If you haven't found "Breaking Bad," you need to catch up.  AMC has put out the best noir dramedy ever on US television. 

The series stars Bryan Cranston as Walter White,  a chemistry teacher working a second job for extra money, who lives in New Mexico with his wife (Anna Gunn) and teenage son (RJ Mitte) who has cerebral palsy.

White is diagnosed with Stage III lung cancer and given a dire prognosis of just a little time left for him.

His newfound fearlessness based on his medical prognosis, and faced with crushing medical bills and an uncertain future for his son and baby on the way, Walter accidentally falls into the world of manufacturing meth and based on his skills, ascends to power in this world.  

Tonight at 10pm ET, AMC’s "Breaking Bad" presents “Better Call Saul,” featuring guest star DJ Qualls as the character Getz.

According to the AMC synopsis, "Walt and Jesse turn to a crooked lawyer named Saul Goodman, (another guest star, Bob Odenkirk) after Badger gets into legal trouble; Marie worries about Hank’s fragile mental state when he goes back to Albuquerque; and the DEA thinks hard-to-find Heisenberg is finally within the agency’s reach.

A co-creator of "Mr. Show" and a longtime comic, Odenkirk's performance is over-the-top good in tonight's no-miss episode.
