Breaking Bad

Vince Gilligan created and produced the American neo-western crime drama television series Breaking Bad. The sitcom ran on AMC for five seasons, with 62 episodes, from January 20, 2008, until September 29, 2013. It is set and filmed in Albuquerque, New Mexico, and tells the story of Walter White (Bryan Cranston), a low-paid, overqualified, and depressed high school chemistry teacher who is dealing with a stage-three lung cancer diagnosis. While negotiating the hazards of the criminal underground, Walter commits to a life of crime, working with his former pupil Jesse Pinkman (Aaron Paul) to produce and distribute crystal meth to guarantee his family's financial future before he dies.

The first season of Breaking Bad received mostly good reviews, but the remainder of the series gained unequivocal critical praise. The show has been regarded as one of the greatest television shows of all time by reviewers since its completion.
