Breaking Bad
(3 of 3)
And maybe, crazy as it sounds, there could be compelling drama in plain old heroics. (DirecTV's Friday Night Lights, for instance, was earnest and hopeful but also one of the richest, most nuanced dramas of the decade.) Don't get me wrong: I'm riveted to watch Walter White's chemistry experiment come to its end. But maybe the most shocking thing an ambitious drama could do next is show us what it means to break good.
