I've been slowly rewatching Breaking Bad.

Elias, my almost-15 year old, has been begging me to watch it with him since he was 12. "You need to be a little bit older," I told him.

But yes, a few months ago, he and I started watching the Walter White saga.

And let me tell you something, it's so much fun rewatching a show that I love while also introducing it to Elias.

Which makes sense, I know. Because that's how good stories work, you love engaging them and you love introducing them to others.

Because good stories are exciting. And moving. And mysterious. And it’s just so good when watching them unfold through the eyes of another.
