Ann Coulter
"This [column]'s about AMC's smash TV series "Breaking Bad" -- the most Christian Hollywood production since Mel Gibson's "The Passion of the Christ." (Not surprisingly, both were big hits!)
"It may seem counterintuitive that a TV show about a meth cook could have a conservative theme, much less a Christian one, but that's because people think Christian movies are supposed to have camels -- or a "Little House on the Prairie" cast. READ THE BIBLE! It's chockablock with gore, incest, jealousy, murder, love and hate."
....
"There's only one thing in the world that ever could have allowed Jesse to forgive himself: The understanding that God sent his only son to die for Jesse's sins, no matter how abominable. To not forgive himself after that would be an insult to God, dismissing what Jesus did on the cross as not such a big deal."
Christianity Today; Why We Need Breaking Bad "Watching Walt's slow slide off the moral cliff might just inoculate us against what TV usually teaches."
Word On Fire; "Breaking Bad" and the Problem of Sin "In a way, the treatment of sin in “Breaking Bad” is very similar to John Milton’s in “Paradise Lost,” and Walter White reflects certain aspects of John Milton’s Satan very clearly."
