What is Breaking Bad about?
Breaking Bad follows Walter White (played by Bryan Cranston), who is diagnosed with terminal lung cancer and has his world turned upside down. His wife is pregnant with their second child and his son, who has cerebral palsy, has ongoing medical needs. So, Walter makes a decision: he draws on his knowledge as a chemistry teacher and turns to the most lucrative avenue for quick bucks – the drug trade. Teaming up with former student Jesse Pinkman (Aaron Paul), who is working as a drug dealer, White begins his new career as a meth cook. What follows is an insane series of events as White goes from novice to kingpin, making a slew of enemies and allies along the way. As the cancer advances and White deteriorates, he becomes desperate to make his crazy plan work. The only obstacles in his way are the law, morality and his own reality; what could possibly stop him?

The series ended with season five, leaving an RV shaped hole in many fans’ hearts. Luckily, screens have been graced with a hugely successful spin off series Better Call Saul, which follows the career of mall-strip lawyer Saul Goodman (Bob Odenkirk), who represented White and Pinkman in the Breaking Bad series. The series is co-produced by Vince Gilligan (the mastermind behind Breaking Bad), features many beloved characters and is driven by the same gritty undertones as its predecessor. For those who are hungry for more of the Breaking Bad world, Better Call Saul makes the perfect filler. Find out here how to watch Better Call Saul.
