It means someone who has always followed the rule of law changes and becomes a criminal.
It was a show about crime.
Shakespeare wrote plays about crime.
They are both fiction.
.
Ha!
“The success of this show does not bode well for America’s morality.”
I liked the show, thought it was incredibly well written, but it was very disturbing and dark. Essentially what you see is a bunch of people making horrible choices that ruin their lives and the lives of many around them. In the end, they pay, and they pay with almost everything that is dear to them. If anything, it makes a big case for doing what’s right in life.
Its when a person has a big decision to make, and they can either take the good right way, or they break bad and go the other way.
Imo weeds was a totally different show.
From Urban Dictionary:
“To Break Bad is to reject social norms for one’s own gain or amusement. To give up on the typical moral and social norm and go one’s own path, regardless of the legality or ethics.”
I think another meaning is that your life is turning to crap; nothing is going right.
“Ended as a bad man doing bad things because when you become morally twisted, you do bad things for bad reasons.”
I think it ended as a bad man doing bad things... because he liked it.
That chart is so funny.
Because the thieves were at home watching the show?
lol - yeah...
What it sounds like.
When you come to a moral dilemma you can either break good or you can break bad. Choose to do the right thing or the wrong thing.
In this case you find a guy who most people would term "good" discovers that he has cancer so he decides to start doing a bad thing to "provide for his family."
That, of course, is a bunch of hooey.
He is a bad person who was formerly constrained by the possibility of punishment.
Once the threat of punishment was no longer any threat, because of the whole dying thing, he begins to release his inner evil.
“wiping a hard drive from outside the building.”
That was a great episode. They ignore Jesse as he keeps saying, “Magnet.” “Magnet.”
It is. However, the underlying premise of the show (suburban wife/husband sells dope) was the same and the producer of BB said if he had heard of Weeds he wouldn’t have made BB.
TV critics, fans, and Hollywood insiders. It was one of the rare shows whose viewership increased each year. Like I said, you're opinion but it's like being a Bills football fan in New England.
And kindly dont make this show look like a “pioneer” that it “made” Game of Thrones etc Cmon dude. I know you’re a fanboy of the show but get real.
BB pioneered the binge-watching streaming concept and it gave other channels like AMC, FX, and even Hulu and Netflix themselves greater artistic freedom. It broke up the monopoly that the traditional networks and HBO/Showtime had and forced them to produce higher quality shows.
Did you like Breaking Bad as much as the rest of these folks?
I watched that episode THREE times—one right after the other.
I thought it was so clever-—and funny.
.
I would disagree. In no way does the show glamorize crystal-meth. In fact, I cannot imagine anybody watching that show and being inspired to start using it. It was a tale of how meth utterly destroys the lives of all who touch it.
I'm not much of a TV watcher and I'm usually a few years behind everybody else because I only watch a show once it appears on Netflix or Amazon Prime (I don't have a cable TV package). When people started raving about "Breaking Bad", I resisted because I did not think a show with that kind of subject matter would appeal to me. But one night I decided to check out the first episode on Netflix and before I knew it, it was almost 3 in the morning and I was already halfway through the first season.
I guess you could say it's addictive.
Now "Game of Thrones", that's another show everybody is raving about and I have not seen it yet. Still waiting for it to show up on Netflix or Amazon Prime.
She was selling because she had no skills to get any decent normal job. He was selling to make (the rest of lifes) money for his family to survive on because he was dying. He was a genius and made the absolute best product out there. She sold other peoples dope and was just a dealer. She had zero smarts or talents. He never would have done it if he was not dying. She wasnt dying but her mealticket husbank died and she had no way to make decent money because she was an airhead who had no skills she could market to get a good regular job.
