It was a show about crime.
Shakespeare wrote plays about crime.
They are both fiction.

“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.
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.
