That is what was keeping it out of our home as well. Drugs and violence have no place here. There's enough darkness in the world without inviting more in.
The first episode was slow to start but it ended well and I can say I actually enjoyed it and am looking forward to more. Bring on the darkness, lol.

6 episodes deep into season 1 now and 4 hours past my bedtime. Things are getting interesting and I am hooked. Damn you guys, lol.
To be fair, watching any of the Season 5 shows would give you a bad taste with regards to violence. That's not what the show is about. An over-arching theme over all five seasons is that actions have consequences and that there is a real, pronounced line between good and bad. The show's characters are free to choose their own fate, but their actions have consequences - some short term, and some very long term. The darkness in Season 5 is ultimately the consequence of the main character's actions over the seasons, even though his motivations were pragmatic and believable as they started in Season 1.
Watch the first episode of Season 1 and see what you think. The characters have tremendous development over the five seasons and it's unfair to judge the show based on just the penultimate episode precisely because the show ends on a very very dark note. IMHO, that violence that put you off wasn't there for violence's sake but to illustrate what happens as consequence to personal choices.
More generally speaking, drug use and violence are never shown glorified or anything other than bad during all episodes of this show.
Give it a chance and start with the first season. The main character starts out as a bland, dorky high school chemistry teacher who simply wants to care for his family. He ends as drug kingpin who achieved victory over several drug cartels and has dozens of deaths on his hands, only to lose out on everything that was ever important to him.
PS: I tried giving Sons of Anarchy a chance and did not care for it. Watched a season and a half.

I still prefer Duck Dynasty. Good honest clean fun with a family with good wholesome values.

How I met your mother
New Girl isn't bad if you want a show that your wife will like that is bearable.
I could have told you that by looking at the cover art.
And Turtle man...ye ye ye live action!! I see the point of breaking bad being about the realization of some idiot full grown man coming to the shocking realization the actions have consequences but what it translates to on screen I'm just done with these days...comedies and documentaries for me from here on out.....now I just need to stop watching the news all the time and I can regain my sanity slowly...

I lost a lot of sleep in the last 2 weeks but I made it thru all 5 seasons of Breaking Bad. What a great series.

I stumbled upon a trippy one last night while flipping channels! "The Story of Mankind".... from 1957....it was interesting and cool to see how they pulled off so many stories in one movie. I would love to see a remake with some super good actors.... and then extend it out to 2013! Christopher Waltz as the Devil would be cool!

Gravity - special effects were incredible. Pretty good movie, but I didn't think it was the greatest movie I've seen in years like some critics have suggested. To me, it was Castaway in space.
Rush - Loved it! I thought Hemsworth was great. If you like racing movies, pretty much a must see.
