The AMC series, BREAKING BAD is, in my opinion, the best written series currently on television.
The writing veers from brutal, to delicate and approaches the sublime on occasion, a cross between Beckett and Mamet. Do yourself a favor and watch the series from the beginning. Netflix is streaming the first three seasons.
Here's a brief scene (one of many favorites) where Jesse gets high on heroin for the first time:

p.s., based on this one clip, don't think the series glamorizes drug use: Jane, Jesse's one-true-love, chokes on her own vomit while deep in a skag stupor later on.
