“Breaking Bad”: The good and bad of the finale
When “Lost” had its finale three years ago, I didn’t think there would ever be another show that could drag me in like it did. My friends would always tell me about shows they liked on TV, and I would always react with a, “Pshh, it’s not as good as ‘Lost.’” In a sense, I […]
