Is this the show on AMC about the chemistry teacher who starts a meth lab with his student? I have seen the ads, but haven't had much time to watch TV. When is it on? I'll try to check it out next time I have time.

Thread 'My experience as a hostage'

I believe it was the summer of 2001 that I made a trip to Peru for my work. I was a private contractor doing automation engineering and programming for various companies, including Frito Lay.
