A mild-mannered high school chemistry teacher turned ruthless drug lord. An unassuming wife turned money launderer. One of the most addictive and dangerous illegal drugs in America turned designer blue. For five seasons, Breaking Bad captured the villains in all of us. If mild-mannered Walter White (Emmy award-winner Bryan Cranston) could transform himself into the terrifying Heisenberg, what could we become, not for better, but for much, much worse. Every season. Every episode. Every utterance of Jesse saying b----! We'll follow the rise of Heisenberg and his Shakespearean character arc, look at every bit of foreshadowing, and analyse every song choice. Show runner Vince Gilligan created one of the most complicated television dramas in history and even changed the way people viewed show runners, giving them Hollywood director-level status. This book will explore what made Breaking Bad so great.
