One critic characterized "Breaking Bad's" dark humor as "Thelma and Louise as seen by Dostoyevsky" and that was one of the perkier, more optimistic descriptions. A seven-part AMC series, "Breaking Bad" TV show tells the story of Walt White, high school chemistry teacher turned methamphetamine cooker and dealer. Of course, as Glenn Frye crooned, "The lure of easy money has a very strong appeal," but "Breaking Bad" does not allow for even a split-second of sunshine through the abysmal darkness. In this corner of the universe, crime never-ever pays. Walt, expertly portrayed by Bryan Cranston of "Malcolm in the Middle" fame, is neck-deep in problems, complications, and flat-out ugliness from the minute he lights the Bunsen burner. Although the writers have woven-in some amazingly ironic lines, known in the trade as "comic relief," the characters deliberately deliver their quips in such a super-slow, slack-jawed drawl they seem more tragic than funny. Of course, "Breaking Bad" TV series make some pretense toward allegory of the American middle class struggling through the throes of deep recession, and it scores some hard hits. Most of all, though, "Breaking Bad" shows that even when fine writers, directors, and actors can find humor and pathos in displaced white-collar workers' undignified struggle for dignity, it still looks awfully damned dreary and ugly.

That may well be the title to a dream sequence by some brilliant but unqualified attorney "want to be's" who can only imagine how they could accomplish what Mike Ross has done. He bluffed his way in by convincing Harvey Specter, one of the finest lawyers in Manhattan to hire him in spite of the fact he has no law degree. Although Ross is brilliant and extremely personable he could not afford the schooling and his choices in friends and recreational drugs did not help his situation. However he can pass the bar without attending any law school simply because he has an eidetic memory. Now clean and dedicated to becoming a first rate attorney, Mike Ross (Patrick J. Adams from FlashForward, Raising the Bar) must prove himself to the man who put his trust in and hired him, Harvey Specter (played by Gabriel Macht from Love and Other Drugs, Middle Men). Mike Ross must convince the other attorneys he graduated from the Harvard Law school because that's the only place they hire new recruits from. And he is a fast learner who's wit and conviction works well in the court room.

What you'll get if you mix up together Melrose Place and How I Met Your Mother? Yes, the witty, funny and spontaneous The L.A. Complex, a TV show about vicissitudes of lives happening with group of buoyant young people living in the same apartment complex called The Luxe.

Complex was created by makers of the most realistic teenagers' television series of early "˜10s, Degrassi: The Next Generation. But the professional creators aren't the main cornerstone of The L.A. Complex success, the perfectly selected and combined cast is the crucial piece in TV show's popularity. Just imagine Jewel Staite (Supernatural, Warehouse 13) playing along with Cassie Steele (mentioned before Degrassi: The Next Generation and My Babysitter's a Vampire), Joe Dinicol (Scott Pilgrim vs. the World, Flashpoint, Haven) and sexy Chelan Simmons playing Alicia, a sweet , cute and innocent "¦ strip-dancer - certainly a necessary character to attract some share of male audience, which is undoubtedly kind of smart step taken by the series' plot creators.
