Breaking Bad
Breaking Bad is an American neo-Western crime drama television series created and produced by Vince Gilligan for AMC. Set and filmed in Albuquerque, New Mexico, the series follows Walter White, played by Bryan Cranston, an over-qualified, dispirited high-school chemistry teacher struggling with his recent diagnosis of stage-three lung cancer. White turns to a life of crime and partners with a former student, Jesse Pinkman, played by Aaron Paul, to produce and distribute methamphetamine in an effort to secure his family's financial future before he dies, all while navigating the dangers of the criminal underworld. The series also stars Anna Gunn, Dean Norris, RJ Mitte, Betsy Brandt, Giancarlo Esposito, Jonathan Banks, and Bob Odenkirk.
