First airing in 2008 on AMC, Breaking Bad is a dark and intense drama centered around Walter White, a high school chemistry teacher played by Bryan Cranston, who receives a terminal lung cancer diagnosis. To provide for his family after his death, White starts manufacturing methamphetamine, adopting the alias Heisenberg and entering a life of crime. He partners with Jesse Pinkman (Aaron Paul), and together they navigate the dangerous world of drug trafficking, eventually attracting the attention of both the police and competing cartels. While the original series concluded in 2013, its story continued with El Camino: A Breaking Bad Movie in 2019 and a prequel series, Better Call Saul, which ran from 2015 to 2022. Better Call Saul followed the story of Saul Goodman (Bob Odenkirk), the lawyer who represented White and Pinkman during the later seasons of Breaking Bad.
