Today we will be discussing one of the most popular TV shows written and directed by Vince Gilligan, Breaking Bad.

The Plot: Walter White’s Desperate Journey

Breaking Bad is a TV show about a chemistry teacher, Walter White, diagnosed with lung cancer, who only has a few years left to live. With the news of his recent diagnosis, Walter prepares for the financial well-being of his wife and kids. Knowing that being a chemistry teacher will not provide a suitable income for supporting his family, he chooses to start producing meth with one of his past students, Jesse Pinkman.

A Dangerous Partnership with Jesse Pinkman

Walter partners with Jesse due to his knowledge of selling dope on the streets, making them a great duo for producing and pushing drugs in exchange for risky cash. The story follows Walter and Jesse’s empire and the dangerous people they encounter on this drug-making journey.

Character Development and Visual Storytelling

During the series, we see the cast change and develop based on appearance and colors. Vince Gilligan does an excellent job of making sure the audience understands the character's mindset based on physical attributes like clothing colors and emotional states.

Final Rating

I give this 5-season series a 9.5/10. I consider Breaking Bad one of the best TV shows ever made and a must-watch!
