Breaking Bad

"Breaking Bad" is a popular American television drama series created by Vince Gilligan. The term “breaking bad” itself is a Southern U.S. slang expression meaning to turn toward immorality or criminality — essentially, when someone who is normally law-abiding starts doing something illegal or unethical. The show follows a high school chemistry teacher who, after being diagnosed with cancer, starts producing and selling illegal drugs to secure his family’s financial future.
